I have a potential client who wants to create a Windows web app and is not sure if .net framework or .net core should be used. I am not sure which one to use for the project, any helpful suggestions are greatly appreciated. Windows.net framework is fully mature, and rumors have it that version 8 wi…

The .NET Framework final version was 4.8, released IIRC sometime around late 2019. .NET Core was out alongside the old framework for several years now and is on an annual release schedule: .NET 5, Nov 2020, STS, 18 months support .NET 6, Nov 2021, LTS, 3 years support .NET 7, Nov 2022, STS, 18 m…

[image] bgrommes: in “keep the lights on” mode since 2019 on old framework 4.7.2 and everything ran just fine, and passed annual outside security audits, too, despite it being about 4.5 years out now. Microsoft has a tendency to want to push people along and discourage them from hanging back se…

[image] bgrommes: Microsoft has a tendency to want to push people along and discourage them from hanging back several versions – and I don’t blame them – but they are also realists. VB6 runtimes spring to mind :stuck_out_tongue:

interestingly, I have Apple a bit more in mind than Microsoft. Apple was in MacOS often quite rude in phasing out technologies, sometimes without replacements or bridges. Compared with Microsoft, Windows is more a prehistoric museum full of ancient programs and technologies… wanna take a trip to 50 …

And I did not mention all the quirks in good old cmd.exe e.g. with non-functional enviroment %COMSPEC% variables, side-loading any malware with ease: [image] Full Disclosure: Defense in depth -- the Microsoft way (part 84): (no) fun...

Absolutely Apple was / is much ore aggressive about removing / discontinuing / deprecating technologies VB6 runtimes is simply a great example of MS making things work long after they are deprecated

[image] TomasJ: And you really want to argue that Windows is a modern and robust piece of software? [yawn] yeah I know, WinDoze is total crap, macOS and/or Linux are all sweetness and light. Despite that Windows still dominates the market after decades of use and abuse, it’s a terrible and un…

[image] bgrommes: But I decided, if people want to pay me twice as much to be half as productive, why should I complain? Well many years I thought exactly the same… but you know, life is too short for this crap. Money is not everything. And I am happy to be in a position, to freely choose my…

[image] TomasJ: Money is not everything exactly, but safety is and I think security is what is kind of getting lost in the discussion here, but in 2023 it should be the basic ingredient of good ethical business practice and it trumps the fact that classic cars without ABS, seat belts and airb…

[image] bgrommes: Contrary to the superficial conclusion that everything just shuts off at year 3 That has almost never been the case with MS in my experience [image] bgrommes: , if people want to pay me twice as much to be half as productive, why should I complain? And I have laughed al…
