This has been a big week for .NET developers around the world and we’ve been blown away by the sheer amount of new things that were announced at .NET Conf. If you’ve missed it, we suggest watching it because some of the demos were out of this world. For those that want a shorter version, .NET 5 has been released, ASP.NET Core, EF Core, C#, F# and we’ve seen a ton of cool features all across the technologies. We hope you’re as excited as we are to try it all out. But whether you decide to watch the recording of the .NET Conf is up to you, we’ve got plenty of great articles for you this week too, so pick the one you like and enjoy reading it.
