With Microsoft's announcement about .NET 5, it's clear that .NET Core is the future, and a migration strategy is important for businesses and developers. In this workshop, we'll review some of the conceptual differences of .NET Core, and outline strategies for migrating a codebase with minimal pain. From there, we'll get into specific strategies and tactics for migrating .NET Framework applications, along with pitfalls along the way. This specific session will focus on web-based and services based applications, but many of the strategies will apply to desktop applications as well. Attendees will leave with .NET Core demystified, and a playbook for how to modernize their applications over time while providing value along the way.
