Old .net has become ".net framework".
I'm just glad the number-space has been sorted out. It was annoying to learn that ".NET 2", ".NET Standard 2" and ".NET Core 2" are very different things.
- Akronymus 4y ago> Old .net has become ".net framework". From my understanding, thats not quite right. AFAIK framework was adapted to differentiate it from standard, core and mono.
- hermitdev 4y agoIt's really too bad the naming/versioning has gotten so confused. I used to be a heavy .Net user, then stepped away for a while when I changed jobs. Every time I try and come back, I get so confused. Am I looking at the right docs? Is this API available for the platform I'm on? It's bad enough with .Net, itself, but what about GUI libs? What's even supported anymore? What's actually stable and not in pre-release? It's a shame, because .Net is damn good, but the messaging around it has been awful in my experience.
- tartoran 4y agoYes, big poop show on naming convention changes done terribly. Eventually the dirt will settle and become easier to navigate if it hasn’t started already.
- zasdffaa 4y agoChrist, the mess that are the docs. And the complexity. Just lost well over an hour trying to get a non-trivial regex working (that would have taken me 30 secs in emacs). Gave up and just used split() and it just worked. Never again, I swear.
- custard42 4y agoWhat was the problem -- the regex pattern, or some API?
- zasdffaa 4y agoCapture pattern [edit: I meant capture brackets] extraction. Could get one of them (?!) or nothing at all, but... never again. MS doc examples = no success, not SO, not various blogs.
- Akronymus 4y ago> Christ, the mess that are the docs. You don't love getting 404s almost all the time?
- octopoc 4y agoMight want to check out RegexStorm [1]. It's a .NET regex tester in your browser. Yeah the docs are great but there's nothing like instant feedback to test your regex. [1] http://regexstorm.net/tester http://regexstorm.net/tester
- zasdffaa 4y agoThanks but regexes I know pretty well, the regex object docs just were horrible.
- WorldMaker 4y agoOld .NET was always ".NET Framework". Microsoft had many years of branding advice early in .NET history that it was never to be called just .NET because their branding teams were using that as a wider initiative that included other things. Most of those other things died or were rebranded and .NET Framework was the last one standing. .NET 5 was the first ever "just .NET", technically from a historical perspective.
- mbesto 4y ago.NET's terminology is as clear as mud: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51390971/im-lost-what-happened-to-asp-net-mvc-5/51391202#51391202 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51390971/im-lost-what-ha...
