Might want to add a note about this being aimed at Windows / .NET. In my prev. career as a FOSS dev. I never came across DLLs, they generally do not exist in the *nix world.
Also, nice to see Windows devs also run into dependency hell...ugg.
You are correct, in the *nix world they are *.so; though I imagine the internals are different the usage is the same. @Milecia McG maybe note this for the un-informed? (Like I was until about 5 minutes ago :D.)

Aren't they simply called
*.soin Unix/Linux instead of*.dll?You are correct, in the *nix world they are *.so; though I imagine the internals are different the usage is the same. @Milecia McG maybe note this for the un-informed? (Like I was until about 5 minutes ago :D.)
Now with .Net Core when build a ploject always generate .dll files even on *nix
And I thought only Windows devs run into dependency hell :-)
