MySQL Connector/Net 7.0.4 is the first development release that expands
cross-platform support to Linux and OS X when using Microsoft's .NET Core
framework. 

Securing your application is bloody important. With so much jargon to sift through, it’s easy to get lost, for example there’s SSO, OAuth2, SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, Federated Identity, 2FA, & MFA. Just to name a few! 😱 In this talk, Anthony will take an in depth look at Federated Identity using OpenID Connect and OAuth2 Framework for ASP. NET Core using Duende IdentityServer (aka IdentityServer 5). You will walk away knowing how to navigate the security options and avoid the madness.

You'll often hear the terms framework and platform used interchangeably. This can be very confusing. You'll hear that .NET Core is a platform. Then you'll read that .NET Core is cross-platform. Next, you'll learn that .NET Core is a framework. And it doesn't help that framework is part of the name of the original full .NET Framework.

In this post, I explain the difference between frameworks and platforms and explain why sometimes you'll see .NET being referred to as a framework and other times see it referred to as a platform.
