ASP.NET 5 on .NET FX vNext

Full .NET CLR

• Entire API set in machine wide install (200 MB)

• Updated with OS• Ecosystem of existing

packages• Backward compatibility• Default for

Visual Studio 2015 projects

Cloud Optimized CLR

• Lean and modular runtime (11 MB)• Optimized for server• Small memory footprint

• Libraries in NuGet packages

• Framework deployed with app

• Different versions can run side-by-side

Mono

• Cross-Platform runtime for Linux and Mac OS X

• Together with Mono community

Tenets from ASP.NET team

Command-line first• Facilitate cross-

platform• Visual Studio

2015 for premium experience

Symmetry• Between

command-line and visual studio

• Between server and cloud

• It just works by default in the cloud and on-premise

Open source• All code visible

(even during development)

• Contributions from community

Light-weight and Pay-as-you-go• Only include

what you use

Open sourceTap into the community ecosystem

Open sourced parts of .NET

Open sourcing ASP.NET Find it all here• github.com/aspnet • github.com/dotnet

/home Help and feedback• JabbR:

https://jabbr.net/#rooms/aspnetvnext

• ASP.NET forums: http://forums.asp.net

Have a look in the kitchen

.NET Foundation• Focused on .NET FX• Apache 2 license mostly• No platform restrictions

Fostering open development and collaboration

SymmetryTaking away the differences and embracing choice

DNX - .NET Execution Environment• Compilation system• SDK tools (DNVM,

DNU)

• Native CLR hosts

Code required to bootstrap and run an application

Goals

• Change code and run• Expose metadata about the

runtime for others to query• Create a cached version of

your application's dependencies ("compilation")

Principles

• NuGet all the things• There is no such thing as

"design time"• Dependencies are always

described as what not where

Cross-platform toolingA warm welcome to MacOS and Linux

Building and runningChoose your own tooling

Web Server

Website

C# Code(.cs file)

BinaryRoslyn

Command-line firstOffering both a CLI and UI experience

Command-line firstMore than just Visual Studio

Text before UI • Everything from text

files– Projects– Configuration– Preferences and

options– Launch settings

• JSON is preferred data format

Return of the text files

New project system.csproj is gone. Long live project.json

• Independent of Visual Studio• JSON files instead of VS artefacts• Every file is relevant

– Unless stated otherwise• Specific folder structure• Build for multiple target frameworks

Modern web architectureModular, pay as you use, light-weight and fast

NuGet all the things • NuGet packages are

unit of reference– Not assemblies

Projects: • build NuGet

packages• reference NuGet

packages

Simplify dependency management

Runtime loading• Dependency

resolution rules

• Nearest wins• Cousin

dependencies

Playing by the rules

Deploying ASP.NET 5 applicationsWith source code Without source code

XCopy deployment

Global tools• DNX console applications in a NuGet package• Installed globally• Runnable from command line.

Example: User-secret

Assembly Neutral Interfaces• Allows an interface's identity to not be tied to its

assembly– Interface used as a contract– No requirement on shared binary asset (compile-

time and run-time)• Interfaces must be identical

– Exact same types and marked with [AssemblyNeutral] [AssemblyNeutral]

public interface ILogger { void Log(string message); }
