.NET Standard, .NET Core, Why and how? – Laurent Bugnion

Recording of the meetup on 18 Feb 2019.

.NET Standard is the new way to create portable assemblies. After learning about portable class libraries in the past years, it is now time to upgrade our game and start coding for Linux, Mac OS and other platforms in addition to Windows. More and more libraries are getting ported to .NET Standard, sometimes really easily and sometimes more painfully. In this session, Laurent Bugnion, the creator of the popular open source MVVM Light Toolkit, will help you understand why .NET Standard can benefit you. We'll talk about ASP.NET Core, see how easily we can containerize and deploy our web applications to Linux on Azure. We will also see what .NET Core 3 means for enterprise application frameworks such as Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation. Finally Laurent will also talk about his experiences converting his open source framework to .NET Standard.
