What's New in .NET 9

New versions of .NET have been released every year for several years now. It can be hard to keep track of all the new releases and when they were introduced. The current version of .NET is the eighth version, the so-called Long Term Support, which means it is supported for 3 years (like all even-numbered LTS versions), until November 2026. The ninth version of .NET to be released this November will be the Standard Term Support version and will be supported for a year and a half. In the talk, I will explore how Microsoft sees the future of .NET and what's new in .NET 9. In particular, I'll talk about what's new in C#, ASP.NET, Entity Framework, and MAUI.
