Adopting .NET 5

By: Hammad Arif, Habib Qureshi

Overview of this book

.NET 5 is the unification of all .NET technologies in a single framework that can run on all platforms and provide a consistent experience to developers, regardless of the device, operating system (OS), or cloud platform they choose. By updating to .NET 5, you can build software that can quickly adapt to the rapidly changing demands of modern consumers and stay up to date on the latest technology trends in .NET. This book provides a comprehensive overview of all the technologies that will form the future landscape of .NET using practical examples based on real-world scenarios, along with best practices to help you migrate from legacy platforms. You’ll start by learning about Microsoft’s vision and rationale for the unification of the platforms. Then, you’ll cover all the new language enhancements in C# 9. As you advance, you’ll find out how you can align yourself with modern technology trends, focusing on everything from microservices to orchestrated containerized deployments. Finally, you’ll learn how to effectively integrate machine learning in .NET code. By the end of this .NET book, you’ll have gained a thorough understanding of the .NET 5 platform, together with a readiness to adapt to future .NET release cycles, and you’ll be able to make architectural decisions about porting legacy systems and code bases to a newer platform.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The main service here is called Primecalculator; you can see it in the top left. The other three consumers are Primeclienta, Primeclientb, and Primeclientc."

A block of code is set as follows:

syntax = "proto3";
option csharp_namespace = "microservicesapp";
package prime;

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

syntax = "proto3";
option csharp_namespace = "microservicesapp";
package prime;

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

wsl --set-default-version 2

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "If you are using Visual Studio 2019, you can right-click on Connected Services, add a gRPC service reference, and point it to the Proto file created before in the server service."
