Demystifying .NET Standard

By Simo Vuleta BACKEND No Comments

Introduction

When .NET Framework was released 16 years ago, it served as a general application development platform for Windows desktop and Web applications.Shortly after, the .NET Compact Framework was released as a subset of the .NET Framework that fit the footprint of smaller devices, specifically Windows Mobile. The idea behind that was to separate code base from the .NET Framework and it included the entire vertical: a runtime, a framework, and an application model on top. Ever since that, this subsetting was repeated many times with: Silverlight, Windows Phone and Windows Store. This lead to fragmentation because the .NET Platform isn’t a single entity but a set of platforms, owned by different teams, and maintained independently.
