As anyone in the .NET community who hasn't been living under a rock will know, there's a lot of exciting things happening with .NET at the moment with the announcement of the open source, cross platform, .NET Core. However, partly due to the very open nature of its evolution, there's been a whole host of names associated with its development - vNext, ASP.NET 5, ASP.NET Core, .NET generations etc.

In this post I'm going to try and clarify some of the naming and terminology surrounding the evolution of the .NET framework. I'll discuss some of the challenges the latest iteration is attempting to deal with and how the latest developments aim to address these.

This is really for those that have seen some of the big announcements but aren't sure about the intricacies of this new framework and how it relates to the existing ecosystem, which was my situation before I really started digging into it all properly!

Hopefully by the end of this article you'll have a clearer grasp of the latest in .NET!

In this React 18: Full Course Video Tutorial, we'll be covering everything you need to know about React 18! From creating a basic React component to creating more advanced React components, we'll be covering everything in this React tutorial for beginners. 

Flux is an architecture for creating data layers in JavaScript applications. It was designed at Facebook along with the React view library. It places a focus on creating explicit and understandable update paths for your application's data, which makes tracing changes during development simpler and makes bugs easier to track down and fix. 

Xamarin.Forms vs MAUI

These are the customer-reported issues addressed in 15.9.9:

• SSDT: We fixed a crash in the SSIS Foreach Loop container.
• A few .NET native for UWP customer issues were fixed in .NET native tools 2.2 (UWP 6.2.4).
• We have corrected dual signing of Visual C++ Redistributable installers.

Security Advisory Notices

• A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Visual Studio C++ Redistributable Installer improperly validates input before loading dynamic link library (DLL) files.
• Unity Editor Remote Code Execution Vulnerability.
• .NET Core NuGet Tampering Vulnerability.
