Welcome tag moderator AKA Unofficial DEV cheerleader. While most of my friends are found on SnapChat or Tic-Toc, you can find me here. And I OOP, but I’m not a VSCO girl.
.NET is a framework that has been around since the beginning of C#. It runs only on the Windows operating system.
.NET Core is a newer open source version that runs on Windows and several Linux versions including Apple MAC OS.
I’m pretty sure it’s what Microsoft is pushing developers towards. I read that when the next version of Core is released, they will stop any further releases of the plain .NET
The syntax when writing for both is the same (that’s the C# part), but the patterns used to develop are slightly different. I first learned .NET (it took months to feel comfortable) and recently it took a couple of weeks to learn the newer .NET Core patterns.
Hope that helps Ashleigh.
