ASP.NET History• Released in 2001 with

WebForms, SOAP-based ASMX services

• ASP.NET MVC added in 2009

• ASP.NET WebAPI added in 2012

• OWIN and SignalR introduced in 2013

Why do we need a NEW ASP.NET• Advances in compilers – Roslyn

• Expectation to deliver to cloud

• Open Source – Accountability and Transparency

• Development cycle is tied to Visual Studio

• Development of ASP.NET is tied to Visual Studio

• ASP.NET is tied to Microsoft IIS Web Server

• ASP.NET is resource intensive

We can do better

ASP.NET vNext is…• Totally Modular

• NuGet is a first class citizen in the project

• .NET framework is installed with NuGet

• Seamless transition from on-prem to cloud

• Open Source – www.github.com/asp.net

• Faster Dev Cycle

• Use your favorite editor

• Host on your favorite platform

• FAST!

What does this mean for my favorite framework?

• Web Forms, MVC 5, Web API 2, Web Pages 3, SignalR 2, EF 6

• fully supported with Roslyn compiler

• MVC, WebAPI, WebPages 6, SignalR 3, EF 7

• Breaking changes

• New Project System

• New Configuration System

• MVC / WebAPI / Web Pages merge

• No System.Web, new lightweight HttpContext

• I’M SERIOUS
