<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/microsoft-net-5-announced.png" width="904" height="501" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>At the <a href="https://mybuild.techcommunity.microsoft.com">MSBuild 2019</a> developer conference, Microsoft made a pretty huge announcement about the future of .NET.&nbsp; With the release of .NET 5, there will be one .NET, that is cross platform and open source.&nbsp; Essentially .NET Core, .NET Framework and Xamarin will all be replaced with a single unified .NET 5 framework.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-5/">this blog post</a> Microsoft discuss the future of .NET 5, as well as how we got here and how it will impact developers.&nbsp;&nbsp; The core (pun intended) of .NET is:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Produce a single .NET runtime and framework that can be used everywhere and that has uniform runtime behaviors and developer experiences. </li>
<li>Expand the capabilities of .NET by taking the best of .NET Core, .NET Framework, Xamarin and Mono. </li>
<li>Build that product out of a single code-base that developers (Microsoft and the community) can work on and expand together and that improves all scenarios.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>This isn’t going to happen overnight however.&nbsp; Here is the announced timeline of developments:</p>

<p>This means in November of 2020, there will be just one version of .NET available for all platforms.&nbsp; With the release today <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-net-core-3-0-preview-5/">of .NET Core 3.0 Preview 5</a>, that seems to be the ideal platform to develop .NET applications in anticipation of .NET 5.</p>
