ASP.NET Core (.NET) is a free, open-source, and cloud-optimized framework that can run on Windows, Linux, or macOS. It is the new version of ASP.NET. The framework was completely rewritten to be open-source, modular, and cross-platform. ASP.NET Core: -> Web Framework -> Open-Source -> Cross-Platform -> Modular -> Cloud Optimize -> Runs on top of the .NET Core and .NET Framework .NET Core is the new version of the .NET Framework, a free, open-source, general-purpose development platform maintained by Microsoft. It was designed to build modern, high-performance, and scalable applications that could run on Windows, macOS, and Linux. .NET Core aimed to provide a unified platform for developing various applications, including web applications, desktop applications, microservices, and more. .NET Core is written from scratch to be a modular, lightweight, fast, and cross-platform framework. It includes the core features required to run a basic .NET Core app. Other features are provided as NuGet Packages, which you can add to your application as needed. In this way, the .NET Core application speeds up performance, reduces the memory footprint, and becomes easy to maintain. There are some limitations to the .NET Framework. For example, it only runs on the Windows Platform. Also, you need to use different .NET APIs for different Windows devices such as Windows Desktop, Windows Store, Windows Phone, and Web Applications. The following are some of the reasons why you might choose .NET Core over .NET Framework for your application development: Cross-Platform Compatibility: .NET Core was designed from the ground up to be cross-platform, allowing you to develop applications that can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux. .NET Framework, on the other hand, was primarily Windows-centric. If you needed your application to work on non-Windows platforms, .NET Core was the better choice. Open Source: .NET Core was open source, meaning you can access the source code and contribute to its development. This allows you to customize the framework to suit your needs better. .NET Framework was not open source. If you need an Open Source framework for your application, then .NET Core is the winner here. Performance and Modernization: .NET Core was optimized for performance and suitable for modern application development. It included features like just-in-time (JIT) compilation, which improved runtime performance, and support for modern application patterns like microservices and containerization. .NET Framework was designed in an earlier era and lacked these features. Long-Term Support (LTS): .NET Core introduced the concept of LTS releases, which provided a stable and supported platform for an extended period. This was particularly important for enterprise applications that required long-term stability and security updates. Currently, Microsoft will not provide any new enhancements for the .NET Framework. Note: Microsoft continued encouraging developers to migrate from .NET Framework to .NET Core and the subsequent .NET 5+ versions to take advantage of the benefits mentioned above. Open-Source Framework: .NET Core is an open-source framework maintained by Microsoft and available on GitHub under MIT and Apache 2 Licenses. You can view, download, or contribute to the source code using the following GitHub repositories: .NET Core Runtime: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime .NET Core SDK: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk ASP.NET Core: https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore Language Compiler Platform Roslyn: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn CLI Tools: .NET Core includes CLI tools (Command Line Interface) for development and continuous integration. Flexible Deployment: .NET Core applications can be deployed user-wide or system-wide or with Docker Containers. Compatibility: Compatible with .NET Framework and Mono APIs using .NET Standard Specification. Developer(s): .NET Foundation Initial Release: .NET Core 1.0 – 27th June 2016 Stable Release: .NET 8 Preview Release: .NET 9 Repository: github.com/dotnet/core Written: C++ and C# Operating System: Windows, Linux, and macOS Type: Software Framework Website: dotnet.microsoft.com A new major release of .NET is published every year in November, enabling developers, the community, and businesses to plan their roadmaps. Even numbered releases are LTS releases with free support and patches for three years. Odd-numbered releases are STS releases with free support and patches for 18 months. .NET Core has evolved over various versions, with each version introducing new features, improvements, and changes. Here are some notable features introduced in each major version of .NET Core: Initial release of .NET Core. Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, and Linux). Introduction of the Command-Line Interface (CLI) tools. CoreCLR (Core Common Language Runtime), the cross-platform CLR. CoreFX, the foundational libraries. Support for ASP.NET Core for web applications. NuGet package manager for dependency management. Performance improvements and bug fixes. Enhanced compatibility with .NET Framework libraries.
