Microsoft to Launch .NET 8 at .NET Conf 2023 in November

In keeping with its usual schedule, Microsoft will launch .NET 8 at its three-day .NET Conf 2023 virtual event on November 14.

“We are thrilled to announce the much-awaited .NET Conf 2023, a free, three-day virtual developer event that celebrates the release of .NET 8,” Microsoft’s Mehul Harry writes in the announcement post. “Co-organized by the .NET community and Microsoft, this conference has been an annual tradition for the past 12 years, and we are more excited than ever to bring you the best of .NET 8.”

.NET 8 will bring several groundbreaking features, enhanced performance, and powerful tools, Microsoft says, and .NET Conf 2023 should have something for all .NET developers, regardless of experience or skill level. This will include many live sessions with well-known and beloved speakers from both Microsoft and the community, with deep dives into new and improved .NET features and technologies. These include:

Cloud native. How .NET can be used in scalable, performant, and resilient cloud-native environments.

Blazor full stack. Microsoft’s latest web dev technology can be used for both client and server-side development, with integration between the two.

.NET MAUI. Microsoft’s multi-platform development tool lets you use .NET to create applications that run across desktop and mobile.

AI and machine learning. You can use .NET to create intelligent Apps with AI and machine learning capabilities.

And in keeping with previous shows, a portion of the event will be broadcast continuously over 24 hours so that everyone can participate, regardless of their time zone.
