Why Choose .NET Core over .NET Framework?
.NET Core is an open-source, cross-platform development platform created by Microsoft. Over the past few years, .NET Core has gained popularity in the software development community as a powerful and modern platform for building websites and apps. As .NET Specialists with extensive experience in C# and .NET development, we believe that .NET Core is a better choice than .NET Framework for building modern web platforms.
What are the key reasons why .NET Core has become the preferred choice for building web platforms and why it is a better choice than .NET Framework?
One of the most significant advantages of .NET Core over .NET Framework is its cross-platform compatibility. .NET Core runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, which means you can develop and deploy .NET Core applications on any platform of your choice. This cross-platform compatibility is essential in today's fast-paced development world, where developers need to be agile and have the flexibility to choose the best platform for their projects.
Another significant advantage of .NET Core is its performance and scalability. .NET Core is designed to be lightweight and efficient, making it ideal for developing high-performance web applications. With .NET Core, you can build scalable and high-performing applications that can handle high traffic loads without compromising on speed or efficiency.
.NET Core is designed to support modern development practices such as containerisation, microservices and cloud-based architectures. With .NET Core, you can build applications that are easy to deploy, maintain and scale. You can also take advantage of modern development tools and frameworks, such as Docker, Kubernetes and Azure, to streamline your development workflow and achieve faster time-to-market.
.NET Core is an open-source platform that is supported by a large and active community of developers. This community is constantly contributing to the platform, providing updates, bug fixes and new features, making .NET Core a more robust and reliable platform for building web applications. With an open-source platform, you have access to a wealth of resources and support, making it easier to find solutions to problems and get the help you need when you need it.
Finally, .NET Core has a long-term support (LTS) policy, which means that Microsoft will provide support and security updates for at least three years after each release. This LTS policy provides developers with the assurance that their applications will continue to be supported and updated, even as new versions of .NET Core are released. This policy also provides stability and predictability for developers, making it easier to plan and develop their applications with confidence.
In conclusion, .NET Core is a powerful and modern platform for building websites and web applications. Its cross-platform compatibility, performance and scalability, modern development practices, open-source nature and long-term support policy make it a better choice than .NET Framework for building modern web platforms. As a technical director of a digital agency with extensive experience in C# and .NET development, I highly recommend .NET Core as the preferred platform for building web applications.
