November will be the most exciting month for all the .NET developers around the world as new versions of .NET get released during its annual conference, .NET Conf. Quite like the previous years, this time, it will be hosted virtually and can be joined online. .NET 8 is slated to release at this year’s conference scheduled as a three-day event starting Tue, Nov 14, 2023, through Thu, Nov 16, 2023.
Now updated with YouTube links to watch the recorded sessions.
.NET 8 is a long-term support (LTS) release, which will be supported for a period of 3 years quite like .NET 6. Even-numbered releases are LTS whereas odd-numbered are STS. More details here. The support for .NET 7 ends on Tue, May 14, 2024 (in another 6 months time). If so, plan to migrate to .NET 8 ASAP.
The presentations used in the sessions and other related content are now getting updated in the official dotNETConf GitHub repository here. Check out the 2023\Technical folder.
