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.

Points to ponder regarding an as-is upgrade

A transformation project can easily get quite large and complex. In this chapter, we will primarily focus on as-is upgrades. However, we will also try and score some technical improvements in the solution, where comparatively less effort will bring reasonably good rewards in terms of code maintenance and performance.

Keeping this in mind, the following subsections will tell us about some general points that will be applicable to most upgrade projects.

Unsupported technologies

While most of the .NET Framework technologies can be migrated relatively easily to the .NET 5 platform, some features and technologies do not have a direct replacement and will require redesign or, at a minimum, replacing code from a different library. In addition, due to the fast-paced nature of .NET Core/.NET 5 development, many features in libraries such as Entity Framework Core or ASP.NET Core get marked as obsolete or deprecated in newer versions. So, it...
