• #5: 3m Dec 2001-Feb 2002. A new platform is born. Along with HP, Intel and others, the ECMA-335 standard was created that defined a common language infrastructure to support multiple programming languages. C# and Visual Basic.NET were released and F# came later in 2007, but there are over 20 other .NET languages today. Visual Studio .NET was released and included C#, VB, C++ development all in one box. This was the first IDE that was truly integrated across multiple languages. Mono project begins. The CLI spec gave others the ability to create their own .NET implementations. Even though Microsoft built the first .NET Framework for Windows-only, the spec was intentionally portable across OSes and chipsets. The Mono project began, spearheaded by Miguel de Icaza, with the goal to implement Microsoft's new .NET development platform on Linux and Unix-like platforms. Later, Miguel started Xamarin which focused on cross-platform, native, mobile development with C#, built upon Mono. This allows developers to use C# and .NET to build apps for iOS and Android. Unity games development also emerged from Mono. 2008. ASP.NET MVC web development stack is released to CodePlex as open source. This was the first application development framework from Microsoft to be released as open source. The underlying runtime and compilers were still closed however. 2014. Hell freezes over & pigs fly. Early 2014 at Microsoft’s BUILD conference, Anders Hejlsberg, the father of C#, releases the .NET Compiler Platform “Roslyn” as open source on stage. Later in November, .NET Core project begins in the open. The technology world is shocked, and the .NET community is excited. .NET Core is a new cloud-native implementation of .NET that is geared for cross-platform, hyper-scale services as well as small IoT devices. It’s meant to bring .NET into the next 15 years of computing. And the community has been extremely supportive…. 2016. Mono comes home. In early 2016, Microsoft finally acquires Xamarin and brings Miguel de Icaza into Developer Division. Mono joins the .NET foundation and is officially supported and contributed to by Microsoft. The Microsoft community officially meets the Mono community. 2017. .NET Core 2.0 Released. Our cross platform and open source implementation of .NET finally releases to the world with unified tooling support across multiple operating systems and editors.
• #6: 4m We’ve seen companies taking a bet on .NET because it’s a completely open source project now. More than 20,000 contributors* from 3700 companies have contributed to .NET Core and related open source repositories, with over half of the contributions coming from outside Microsoft.  In the last year we have seen over half a million developers use .NET Core, the cross-platform, high-performance, implementation of .NET.  *contributor = Submitted a Pull Request or Created an Issue. Data up to March 2018.

• #8: 1m We’re also announcing today the first preview of .NET Core 3. It comes with significant updates to desktop and server workloads.   .NET Core 3 brings Windows desktop development to .NET Core, with support for WinForms and WPF.   It enables more flexible deployment with side-by-side and self-contained EXEs.   We also have new features on the server side, including composable UIs with ASP.NET Core with Razor Components, which will provide full-stack web development with .NET for the first time.

• #12: 3m Azure is the .NET developer’s cloud. There are hundreds of developer services accessible to C# developers. From fully managed platform as a service with App Service, to serverless event driven Azure functions to relational and non-relational databases, the .NET developer is a primary target customer. We make developing against these services as integrated and productive as a .NET developer would expect.
• #13: 2m Of course there are a lot of great tools in Visual Studio for building applications. But what’s even better is the latest tools for building, monitoring, and managing your cloud applications. Whether that’s web applications hosted in App Service, or serverless Azure functions with C#, or containerized apps with Docker, we have you covered.
• #14: 1m We’re also announcing today the first preview of .NET Core 3. It comes with significant updates to desktop and server workloads.   .NET Core 3 brings Windows desktop development to .NET Core, with support for WinForms and WPF.   It enables more flexible deployment with side-by-side and self-contained EXEs.   We also have new features on the server side, including composable UIs with ASP.NET Core with Razor Components, which will provide full-stack web development with .NET for the first time.
• #15: 1m Today, I’m pleased to announce that we’re making WPF, WinForms, and Windows UI XAML controls open source.   These frameworks are used by millions of .NET developers, and open sourcing them has been one of our top community requests, so it’s great that now developers targeting windows desktop can adopt .NET Core.
• #16: 2m ANIMATED SLIDE – shows progression of entire .NET platform into .NET Core specific workloads. .NET Core is our cross-platform, open source implementation of .NET and is perfectly suited for requirements of cloud-native, cross-platform services. We’ve made significant investments in the core performance as well as the web stack so that you can easily take advantage of cloud patterns and scale. .NET Core 3 will expand on the supported workloads to include IoT, AI and Windows Desktop.

• #20: 2m .NET Framework will continue with highly-compatible targeted improvements like the last few releases and support will remain unchanged. You will be able to retarget existing apps to 4.8 and gain these improvements. When you’re ready to move to .NET Core 3 (to take advantage of SxS install, interop between desktop app frameworks, and .NET Core performance) you can retarget and rebuild your apps to .NET Core.

• #31: So I hope what we showed you today reinforced our commitment to .NET for building anything you can imagine. It’s the best time to be a .NET developer and we have some very exciting innovations being made to the platform. The ecosystem is growing and it’s thanks to you!
