MAIN PRESENTATION

Unleash the New .NET: Open Source and Running on OS X, Linux & Windows

.NET 2015 is the next generation of .NET. and the umbrella that represents the key pieces of the .NET platform delivered from Microsoft, including the .NET Framework, the recently announced .NET Core, and a shared common layer of packages, compilers and runtime. This release encompasses several new innovations that improve developer productivity and enhance application performance. .NET 2015 builds on the advancements available in .NET 4.5, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 to deliver a highly compatible platform for building applications for the mobile-first, cloud-first world. In this session we’ll explore what’s new in managed languages, frameworks and the numerous IDE improvements that are applicable to many application scenarios. We’ll also look at the cross-platform side of .NET, running on OS X and Linux as well as Windows, and discuss what it means to have .NET as an Open Source Project. ABOUT THE PRESENTER
