Why Port Code to the latest ASP.NET Core 2.0?

Ultimate Advantages of Migrating to ASP.NET Core 2.0

A few days ago, we posted on our blog about the launch of the latest release by ASP.NET development community to Core 2.0. We were quite sceptic about whether a developer should port code to the Core framework for.NET application development or not! By the time, we have got hold of some good reasons and benefits that are encouraging enough to port code to ASP.NET Core 2.0.

In this hour of question, most of the .NET developers are in dilemma:

Should I port my code to .NET Core 2.0, which is the latest version?

We are pretty much sure that your questions will be answered in this write up.


Why port code by the way?
Now, we are going to discuss about the benefits if you have already made your mind to go with the latest .NET version, it all depends on the framework that your application has already been written in while developing the app in the DotNet application development process.

You have to check the framework of the app. Whether it’s built in ASP.NET 1.1, MVC and WebForms and would it be good and advantageous enough for you to do the migration?

Advantages of porting code to ASP.NET Core 2.0
Updating and transitioning from one technology to another robust and agile technology can actually help you create solutions which are very high-end and dynamic at the same time.

Robust Performance and unbelievable optimization:
● During the compilation of the code, there is an optimization of the code on its own, so the best benefit we can count on here is the ultimate robust performance with latest technology and agile approaches. 

● Did you know that when you change the code you don’t need to change your code at all. It will happen automatically. It is done by the compiler that will optimize your code to the core when the re-compilation process takes place.

● It is certainly and completely a surprising fact that ASP.NET Core has given mind blowing scale of performance at around 86,000% improvement. Isn’t that commendable?  

We have no doubt about the fact that Microsoft has always promised high-end  performance with every new launch.

Code hassle is cut short:
Of course, when a new technology or version comes up in the .NET Application development, it is launched in the market with the sole aim of cutting short the hassles related to the code and the same has happened with this latest .NET Core 2.0 framework. 

● One-liner loop is now easy to write because of the LINQ which has been introduced into the new technology with DotNet application development. 

Of course, all these advancements help the developers significantly to reduce their burden to a great extent.  
  
● Easy maintenance of the applications/ websites:
It is a thoughtful fact that whenever there is automatic recompilation of the code, there is a considerate amount of burden that is taken off the .NET developer and to further add to this, less code means that the app or the website will be much easier to maintain as compared to the apps and the websites with heavy use of code and thus, it consumes a lot of time as well as leads to more frustration.   

As a .NET developer who is into the job of a creating web apps or mobile application development or creating websites should always keep himself up to date so that he can earn much better on the projects and give highest level of satisfaction to the clients. If the apps are not developed according to the latest technology, then the profit and revenue to your clients will be much less. 
Best benefit of upgrading to .NET Core 2.0 is that it’s cross-platform:
You can write code on Linux, Windows as well as Mac!

Conclusion:
There are two sides of anything. Same is the case when we talk about .NET Core 2.0. There are benefits but then there are disadvantages also. IT simply depends on the application you are working on.
