You'll gain a deeper understanding of the current .NET landscape and learn about the most commonly misunderstood term in the world of .NET - the .NET Standard.

Thanks for this information. Your sincereness and seriousness about this stuff reminded me of another friend of mine. It would be cool if you threw in some music and jokes... this stuff can get very tedious. I started laughing because your look is un-intentionally serious. Thank you!

Very deep on the time line, but very shallow on the technical differences between the architecture changes.

There was also Net Compact Framework that run on Pocket PC (Microsoft's smartphones of that time). I programmed an application for it in 2004

Is there a way to target Windows 7 using the newer versions of .Net (starting from NET6 and up) ?

[fmskreg]

i started my computer study with dos and pascal, now feels like in a different world

[luiswo]

It's not always true that develop application on latest .NET standard as many people's hardware are still on old OS and they're not always be able to get latest or policy prevent them goes to latest (several years delay).

I have some questions .
1. Is .Net Framework required licence.
2. If .Net core is an open source then for Visual Studio licence is required?
