.NET Standard: The Easy Route to Platform Independence

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Claim: .NET Standard 2.0 brings most of the .NET Framework API surface into a single spec so class libraries can be binary‑reused across .NET Core, Xamarin and UWP. Tools demonstrated: Portability Analyzer, the API catalog site and the analyzer to find gaps. Implementation detail: the spec is a reference assemblies empty shim and platforms use type forwarding and binding redirects. Surprise: API count jumps from ~12k to 32,000 APIs. Demo runs on a real app, finds logging/configuration gaps and shows a staged migration path that works.
