It is to your surprise that the pace of launches is not slowing down, which raises the question of what you should be looking in the year 2020? Well, you have 5 incredible offices in your pocket which include Azure, Windows but they are not just limited because you can start a modern approach for developing platforms and tools.
The new instances in the competition are. Net 5, WinUI 3.0, Azure Kubernetes services and so on. In this article, you will learn about each of them in detail along with the features they have to make the app process easy for the developers.
1. .Net 5
In the year 2019 several announcements were made from the Microsoft team. It was specially mentioned that .Net 5 is on its way and it will definitely reach the developers by 2020.
This is expected to be a huge release from Asp .net development services right after the previous latest version. Dot net framework is almost 15 years old and at present, there are millions of applications built over this utilizing the chunks of multiple services incorporated by Microsoft.
The extreme weight of all these functionings makes the.net framework heavy and in the big picture, its scope to make innovations is diminishing.
-
What's the real deal-
There are two other popular of .Net, that is .Net core dad got turned a few years ago and at that time it appeared as a sibling for the actual Dot Net framework in order to attract the users of Linux.
The next one in the series dotnet core 3 that also sure so user to bridge the gap between the former and latter virgin empowering the overall functioning of WPG. Along with this to frameworks, Microsoft has also announced to release .Net 5 which will be an open-source cross-platform.
-
It's the utility-
.Net 5 has the capability to power some of the best features of.net framework where. Net core, mono, xamarin altogether provides the runtime to create applications, libraries, and APIs for the applications, mobile devices, and other Microsoft application development services.
The ultimate goal of. Net 5 is to add more power to the unified dotnet clients and their application projects to provide better deliverables for their platforms.
It includes the services for Windows, Linux, iOS, HTML5, Macintosh, legacy windows and so on.
.Net 5 has a lot to offer to the developers and they can at least expect the same functioning the get from. Net core.
As in Microsoft technology associate, this is helpful for mobile as well as IoT platform development requirements. Also with these latest updates, developers are not required to choose from any of the frameworks like dotnet core, Dot Net framework, mono or other based upon the platform that used to develop the applications.
It offers some functionalities like-
- Open source and community-oriented services
- Smarter deployment and SharePoint application development services
- Support all the platform features
- Support for future updates
- Side by side installation
Benefit for the developers:
Along with these extremely important features, .Net 5 also offer major support to the developers by offering
- Availability of Java interoperability across multiple platforms
- CoreFX support for the static compilation
- Support of Objective C and Swift interoperability across various operating systems
Future of .Net
This framework will unify the entire Dot Net platform in one toolchain for effective functioning. As it has the ability to interoperate with Java and Swift which allows a developer to interact with native libraries.
Its future is promising and it will also provide a platform for creating modern applications. This contributes a lot to the field of Asp .net development services.
2. WinUI 3.0
When a large number of UI frameworks are available it gets difficult to choose anyone. Another incredible framework in the series is Winform which is a modern approach for windows presentation framework for the universal windows platform.
It has certain limitations and advantages having a different set of design tools, controls, and supported versions of the windows and so on.
It also supports multiple designing languages with a universal windows platform control system which is compatible with the latest appearance and feel.
New approach:
Sometimes all that a developer need is a new approach for delivering better windows UI control systems and components that are separated from the underlying operating system.
They must also be capable to deliver similar features across multiple platforms and the latest versions for the previous ones. The initiative made with WinUI 3.0 is to decouple The windows 10 native platform from the UWP software development.
it means that developer who is building to create new windows applications with essentially have a choice of dotnet core, C++, Win 32, UWP and so on.
Along with this Microsoft will also enable various other platforms like react native where developers who are willing to modernize the applications can do at their own pace.
It is also predicted that WinUI 3.0 could be the future of native UI and UX development projects because it is not an emerging technology rather it is the improvised version of universal windows platform introduced along with windows 10.
The name is given such likes because it was naturally devised to mention the library of controls which are officially supported by XAML which is Microsoft's XML language to describe the user interface.
Perks for the developers:
WinUI 3.0 was introduced as a solution for full-stack UI to bring the native controls and tools in the UWP XAML framework for the windows application.
It has coverage for desktop applications especially for the developers who are willing to create the project in dotnet core or C ++. It is quite easy for the developers to add WinUI 3.0 to their existing application projects on the latest projects and proceed.
WinUI 3.0 is targeted to separate the windows 10 specific user interface efficiencies from the UWP and Microsoft application development.
All the task is not limited as Microsoft's priority or its developers base. With the help of WinUI 3.0, assistance developers find it easy to create the windows 10 applications in the most compatible involvement and gain its access to UI control systems which were previously limited by other factors.
There is a little fudge because former version ie Win 32 API still exists and its applications are also popular but the actual intention associated with it refers to as the native windows UI stack.
Earlier it was necessary for the developers to choose between desktop applications and UWP but now the fact has gone because Win32 gives complete access to the developers to use the controls and tools with the help of a technology called XAML Islands. Hence WinUI 3.0 behaves as desktop applications and works on Windows 10.
3. Azure Kubernetes Service (Aks)
it refers to a highly available and completely managed Kubernetes service which makes it easy for the developers to deploy the containerized applications.
It also offers serverless Kubernetes and continuous delivery experience with enterprise-grade security and governance to the developers. Uniting the development in the operations team on any individual platform gets easy and delivers scalable applications.
Why is a developer-friendly?
By default, Kubernetes is a developer-friendly platform where building, testing or deploying the micro service-oriented solutions require plenty of manual work to be done.
To ease the cause AZURE CLOUD SOLUTIONS provide necessary tools that make them approachable and more productive for the developers. Now let us understand what does it essentially offers to the developers-
- It provides a quick end to end application development experience along with the integration options of the tools
- It helps to provide advanced identity and access management utility with Azure directory and rules enforcement all across the clusters
- It permits orchestration of containers across the regions in public cloud
Key considerations:
In order to create and run the application successfully in Azure Kubernetes services, it is extremely important to consider some strategies and their implementation.
Some areas might include multi-tenancy, pod security, scheduler all business continuity for faster performance and by considering the best practices in the cluster developers can understand each of their significance and then implement them accordingly.

AZURE application development company understands the components and features for delivering the best performance and practices.
They also target to gain visibility in various environments having the control plane telemetry and log aggregation which automatically configured in the AKS cluster. It also provides simple provision for the developers to cluster the instances using infrastructure as code tools or CLI.
It allows developers to reduce ultrastructure maintenance by providing automated repair, scaling and monitoring options.
Functioning:
Azure Kubernetes service has a lot to do with Microsoft technology associate and it allows a developer to deploy validated images and built-in support to instantly replicate the data center.
Through this developers can utilize virtual networks and the policy-driven interface between the resources to securely access Kubernetes workload. It also helps to-
- Gain the fine identity and access control to the resources from the cluster and two containers using the active directory
- To enforce the rules which are defined in Azure policies across various clusters and to track, reconfigure or validate the container images
- Gain unparalleled security management and actionable recommendations for service and compliance with Azure Cloud Solutions.
AKS allows the developer to orchestrate any type of workload active in the desired environment. Even if you want to shift Dotnet applications to the desired windows server container, modernize the series of Java applications in a Linux container for running the microservices applications in the cloud or hybrid environment, Azure Kubernetes service has a lot to offer to you.

WSL 2:
Windows system for Linux makes its debut 2 years ago by keeping Linux inside windows and delivered at top quality improvisation scheme for the web developers.
In the same series, the next-generation technology is WSL 2 which can be said as a massive leap for the developers. The seamless Linux layer on windows 10 and other names like WSL can be used interchangeably.
Read the blog- Is Microsoft Azure seriously giving a stiff competition to Amazon?
Having the custom interoperability layer windows subsystem for Linux was first iterated that emulated the APIs of LINUX and made it work.
It allowed the libraries to are collected information to rely on any specific target and sparsely used. each of the API required to be implemented by Microsoft itself to make it work and it efficiently covered most of the cases.
Why WSL 2 is different:
WSL 2 cuts off the cost for the early adopters and easily manages the workflow as it is devoid of any other layers.
It can also be said as a complete revamp of the Linux subsystem and it is not an exaggeration to call it a game-changer. WSL 2 is an actual ultra optimized hyper-v virtual machine and unlike other traditional virtual environments, it is quite instant.
It also causes the ability to be automatically managed by windows being transparent. The consistency with Microsoft is so general that you might not even know that if it ever existed there because it is highly integrated into the operating system and its performance is incredible.
Docker + WSL 2:
Along with the announcement of WSL 2, the most surprising news is that Docker is efficient to support the latest environment.
The workaround is also in the past because with WSL 2 and the overhaul of Docker developers can easily use the containers inside Linux just like if they are running it locally on them. This also means that running "Docker Up" will actually work similarly to WSL as if you are developing it with Linux or Mac.
Another step that is made to bring forward the working environment more in line with the developer’s expectations is executing the development process even in the presence of third-party tools.
this is able to automate the configuration of Docker and work accurately without any breaches. In short, it can be said that anything that can work on Linux can work on windows also. And it requires no hacking, no long configurations, no quirky tools.
What is in it for developers?
WSL 2 is available for developers and it is highly and previews at present. When it comes to building SharePoint application development services or other application development projects Microsoft always believes in providing all-in-one solutions and incredible experience to the developers.
When WSL 2 will ship then it is better to say that Microsoft will have a champion on its hands because a large number of developers are looking beyond MacBook Pro towards an innovative technology or something new.
The fact is that windows are smoothly positioned as a developer-friendly platform especially when it comes to Microsoft's Surface laptops.

Azure Sphere:
Azure Sphere has a lot to provide to the developers right from prototyping and developing applications. It is an end to end solution for easily securing the microcontroller which is based upon minute things.
Any internet of things deployment is extremely hard to secure because of the factors like
- custom solutions that require special security concerns all across hardware, software, firmware and so on
- Resources which frequently get spent in development, designing and living a bit for security
- Greenfield market that means the crucial speed
The Azure Sphere development process allows other users to quickly develop then uncompromisable and secure IoT applications.
It has gained enough significance among the AZURE application development company. In addition to it, Microsoft is also collaborating with silicon vendors to build and manufacture the MCUs of the Azure Sphere.
The devices available in this series will be more secure and connected having crossover MCU which will allow developers or organizations to quickly develop, maintain or deploy highly secure implementations. The solutions offered by Azure Sphere include a secure operating system, well-connected MCU and last but not the least Azure Sphere security Services.
The operating system refers to a Linux kernel that is modified or maintained by Microsoft itself.
The security services of Azure Sphere run in the cloud and offer critical functioning including the public key infrastructure or over-the-air updates.
Microsoft also deals with error reporting and provides the infrastructure to the developers so that they can entirely focus on combining additional security features to the application file giving flexibility to the developers to deploy software updates at any time. Considering all this functionality it is certain that if you are opting for Azure Sphere then you wouldn't require public key infrastructure, operating systems, updates for engineers and a lot more.
Also, the Azure Sphere SDK offers real-time debugging, hardware APIs and Azure connectivity to the developers. The only focus of Azure Sphere is to securely connect to the devices to the cloud.
Using the available resources it gets easy to build control and reliable projects with Azure Sphere.
