Soon to be release, is it the New Beginning or Too Little Too Late?

I thought .Net Framework was dead... is this the final version as they shift everything to Core?

My client is still on .Net and more and more I'm finding stuff in the docs only to realise they are Core only

It's just Boris now

As in just .NET 5 to rule them all.

Is this the long awaited replacement for VB6?

It’s a continuation of Core. .Net framework is dead.

I like Core but as a primarily front end resource I rarely get my hands dirty with anything other than web API.

Or VBA that MarillionFan uses to automate his stores' inflated magins?

10 out of 10 Gricer sockies use .NET for making terdious posts

If that's not a success of a programming framework then I don't know what it is

Well that's not at all confusing

It gets better. .Net Core (now .Net 5) includes almost everything that was in .Net Framework, including stuff that is not cross platform compatible, which was the original goal of .Net Core.

e.g. They've included WinForms as many still prefer that over the ever changing WPF/UWP 'modern' alternatives M$ keep sicking up.

Work wise, the .Net gravy train just got a new lick of paint.
