Demystifying .NET Standard and .NET Core | Synergy/DE

After its introduction in 2002, the Microsoft .NET software development environment quickly became one of the most popular toolsets for building software for the Windows platform. Most developers are familiar with the .NET Framework and how it provides an extensive collection of software development tools, class libraries, and runtime environments to support all kinds of software applications that target Windows server and desktop environments. But today .NET is so much more than that, and it’s no longer focused only on the Windows platform.
