NETCorePlattform
NETCorePlattform is a concept referring to the modern, cross-platform development environment built on the .NET Core and its successor, .NET (often referred to as .NET 5+). This platform enables developers to build a wide range of applications, including web applications, microservices, desktop applications, cloud services, mobile backends, and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. Key characteristics include its open-source nature, high performance, and the ability to run on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is characterized by its modular architecture, allowing developers to include only the necessary components for their applications, leading to smaller deployment sizes and improved efficiency. The platform supports multiple programming languages, with C# being the primary language, alongside F# and Visual Basic. NETCorePlattform emphasizes developer productivity through features like hot reload, modern tooling, and a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks. It aims to unify the .NET family of technologies, providing a single, cohesive platform for all .NET development moving forward. This platform represents Microsoft's commitment to an open, cross-platform future for .NET development.
