.NET Core is a new open source, cross-platform version of .NET that is optimized for cloud scenarios. It consists of a new runtime called CoreCLR and a new base class library called CoreFX that are modular and package-based. .NET Core is a subset of the .NET Framework and aims to provide independent release cycles for the runtime, base class libraries, and applications. It uses NuGet packages and reference assemblies to provide compatibility while allowing platform-specific implementations.

Microsoft is working hard to modernize the .NET Platform. There are great new frameworks and tools coming, such as .NET Core and ASP.NET Core. The amount of new things is overwhelming, with multiple .NET Platforms (.NET Framework, Unified Windows Platform, .NET Core), multiple runtimes (CoreCLR, CLR, CoreRT), multiple compilers (Roslyn, RyuJIT, .NET Native and LLILC) and much more. This session will bring you up to speed on all this new Microsoft technology, focusing on .NET Core.
But, we will also take a look at the first framework implementation on top op .NET Core for the Web: ASP.NET Core 1.0. You will learn about ASP.NET Core 1.0 and how it is different from ASP.NET 4.6. This will include Visual Studio 2015 support, cross-platform ASP.NET Core and command-line tooling for working with ASP.NET Core and .NET Core projects.
After this session you know where Microsoft is heading in the near future. Be prepared for a new .NET Platform.

After the initial excitement of .NET Core wore off (Cross platform! Open source!), we realised there were a few things missing. APIs, mostly.
Oh, and compatibility with a lot of your favourite libraries and packages. Fortunately, the .NET Standard is here to fix all of this, adding back APIs, restoring compatibility and even replacing PCLs. This talk is all about the How and the Why, mixed in with a healthy dose of Why Should I Care. We'll even have a little geek out over the technical details. If type forwarding can't restore your excitement levels to fever pitch, I don’t know what will!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. This is Matt Ellis
He works for Microsoft, and is a developer on
the .NET Core team.
This is not me.
3. This is Matt Ellis
He works for JetBrains, and is an interested
amateur in .NET Core.
This is me.
4. What is .NET Core?
New .NET stack - CLR + BCL
Open Source
Cross platform
(eventually)
Standalone -
per-application installs
Factored for modularity -
“cloud optimised”
Everything ships as
NuGet packages,
including the runtime
Not finished…
5. .NET Core != .NET Framework
NOT a new version of the .NET Framework
• .NET Framework is going nowhere
• .NET Core is 5.0
.NET Framework is 4.6
• .NET Core is a fork of the .NET Framework
Code merged back to TFS
• .NET Core is (currently) a strict subset of
the .NET Framework
• Missing pieces in .NET Core
Windows: WinForms, WPF, COM, etc.
Platform: AppDomains, Remoting,
Reflection.Emit, etc.
• Different constraints:
Ship cycles, compatibility, system wide install
11. How do I get it?
DNX - Dot Net Execution Environment
DNX maintained by asp.net team
Stable builds on nuget.org
Unstable on myget.org
.NET Core, .NET Fx and ASP.NET teams maintain own .NET Core builds…
dnvm install latest -r coreclr -u
14. .NET Native
Alternative runtime
• AOT compilation
• Compiles all dependencies
Tree shaking
• Reflection? Via xml!
• Windows Store apps only
• Closed source
• LLILC - LLVM based JIT/AOT (OSS)
16. dotnet/coreclr
JIT compiler (RyuJIT), Garbage Collector, Platform Abstraction Layer - C++
mscorlib (tightly coupled to runtime) - C#
PAL - OS and platform differences. E.g. exception handling, threads, etc.
P/Invoke to OS, FEATURE #ifdefs
Book of the Runtime!
Mirror back to TFS
18. dotnet/corefx
Factored for modularity - each solution/assembly is a package
Some platform specific implementations, e.g. System.Console,
Process.Interop.Unix.cs, etc.
Might throw PlatformNotSupportedException
(e.g. Console.get_ForegroundColor )
Build is based on project.json, packages as references
Mirrored to TFS + .NET Framework
High compatibility bar for changes, transparent API review process
Console.get_ForegroundColor
PlatformNotSupportedException
20. How the application is hosted and run
Environmental services
What is an AppModel?
Bootstrap the CLR
Execute the
application
21. .NET Framework AppModels
.NET .exe
Originally a native stub that
loaded the CLR (x86 only!)
Special cased by OS loader
since Windows XP
Loads mscoree.dll, which
initialises CLR and executes
app
IIS/asp.net
Pre-IIS 7 - ISAPI filter
IIS 7 directly integrates CLR
Pipes requests/responses to
managed code
Lifetime management
Windows Phone /
Windows Store
Magic!
“Application host” loads CLR
Integrates with environment
events. E.g. suspend and
resume applications
Pre-compiled / .NET Native
23. DNX
Dot NET Execution Environment
asp.net 5
Targets .NET Core /
.NET Framework /
Mono
In memory compilation
via Roslyn
Changes project system
Reference packages, not assemblies
More…
24. • Packages for runtime and BCL
• BCL factored into many packages
• NuGet at heart of project system
(DNX)
• NuGet is the new Portable Class
Library
• Sketchy documentation…
NuGet v3
Bleeding edge.
25. How does this affect us?
Let NuGet be NuGet
Don’t target a
framework
Add NuGet dependencies
for all BCL assemblies
Specify required versions of
BCL assemblies
Let NuGet sort it out
Effectively, there is no
longer a fixed framework
version to target
27. Resolution depends on project type
Project understands dotnet TFM:
(UWP, .NET 4.6, ASP.NET 5)
“Modern PCL” with project.json:
(What is a “Modern PCL”?)
More details on docs.nuget.org
dotnet
29. PCL Refresher
1. A PCL is a class library that needs to run on multiple platforms and versions
(e.g. .NET Framework, Windows Phone, Xamarin)
2. It defines a common subset of APIs that are available on ALL of the required
versions of these platforms - a “Profile”
3. When targeting a Profile, the compiler references a set of Reference Assemblies
These describe the API with empty types, and forward types to correct assemblies
4. At runtime, the real assemblies on the target platform implement the APIs
Can also forward types to other assemblies
30. Portable Class Libraries
• PCL hides platform specific implementation details behind a common API
contract
• Profiles do not scale. The more versions and platforms, the more Profiles…
31. Why is this important?
Isn’t .NET Core a common, compatible, cross platform implementation?
• The BCL is the Base Class Library. It’s low level, and has to worry about
underlying platform differences, e.g. file IO
• The BCL needs to be abstracted away from the platform, to allow for
platform specific implementations. And refactoring!
32. Reference Assemblies
BCL packages include a Reference
Assembly in ref
• This is referenced at compile time and
provides the contract for the API, just like
PCL Reference Assemblies
• The runtime implementation
(e.g. libnetcore50 ) handles platform/host
specifics
ref
libdnxcore50
33. Why is this important?
This is how compatibility works
• Reference Assemblies allow consuming .NET Core packages from .NET
Framework and other PCL platforms
• Reference Assembly provides the contract, forwards any types
• Implementation assemblies provide potential platform specific
implementations
34. Compatibility (not a guarantee)
• .NET Framework 4.5 can consume .NET Core packages
• .NET Core 5.0 is a subset of .NET Framework 4.6
Should be able to consume .NET Framework 4.6 packages
• .NET Core can consume PCL libs that are compatible with System.Runtime.dll
(facade that forwards to e.g. mscorlib.dll)
• A new PCL Profile will include .NET Core (e.g. )
(Not announced as part of NuGet v3 - dotnet is checked before portable-* ?)
portable-dotnet+…+…
35. Known Unknowns
• How are OS specific implementations going to be shipped? ( runtimes ?)
• Do we need a Reference Assembly for each package?
• Why do we need platform/host TFMs (e.g. dnxcore50 ) when we can specify
dependencies?
dnxcore50
runtimes
http://docs.nuget.org/Create/uwp-create
36. What does this mean for Mono?
Lots. Or not much.
Mono == .NET Framework
Mono already
cross platform
Mono’s focus is
non-Windows
mobile (Xamarin)
.NET Core’s focus
is server and
Windows UWP
Mono can include
