ASP.NET vNext & Windows 10

ASP.NET vNext

ASP.NET vNext will take things to the next level. Today, you run ASP.NET using the same CLR that desktop apps use. We’re adding a cloud-optimized (my cloud, your cloud, their cloud - server stuff) version optimized for server scenarios like low-memory and high-throughput.

ASP.NET vNext will let you deploy your own version of the .NET Framework on an app-by-app-basis. One app with new libraries can’t break an app next door with a different version. Different apps can even have their own cloud-optimized CLR of their own version. The CLR and cloud-optimized libraries are NuGet packages!

ASP.NET vNext (and Rosyln) runs on Mono, on both Mac and Linux today. While Mono isn't a project from Microsoft, we'll collaborate with the Mono team, plus Mono will be added to our test matrix. It's our aspiration that it "just work."

Windows 10

Windows 10 is all over the news even though there are only Technical Previews on the internet right now. We are going to have a look at the latest available build and features to be expected in Windows 10.

But it's not only the operating system but the development experience. Windows 10 has a unified platform which allows to develop your apps for the desktop, the mobile, XBox and other types of devices with one single code base.

Of course, we are having the ISO image available in case you want to try Windows 10 yourself. Bring your pen drives (8GB) or external hard-drives and play with Windows 10 soon.
