Η ecosystem plans to open the full server-side .NET core source code to make .NET available on Linux and Mac OS X. The company announced its latest plans for .NET today, the launch day of Connect (); .
In April 2014, Microsoft announced plans to open source a range of technologies it uses, including ASP.NET, Roslyn .NET compiler platform, .NET Micro Framework, .NET Rx, and the VB and C #.
Today, the company added more .NET components to the open-source list that will be released with MIT's open source license. Microsoft's new .NET bundles include: .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR), just-in-time compiler, garbage collector, and Base Class libraries.
MicroSoft opens the .NET runtime server-side kernel to create applications that run on Windows, Linux and Mac.
The company will use the GitHub for hosting core framework porting and open source.
MicroSoft, of course, does not plan to allocate its .NET client side source code, which means there will be no open libraries available for clients, such as Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Windows Forms.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
