Visual Studio online available for public preview

This is from the company that came up with .NET to describe an intermediate bytecode and runtime.

Then later made a new thing called .NET Core which was the same as .NET Framework but more multi platform. Which was confusing so they came up with .NET Standard which was an interface describing compatibility between the other two .NETs

They have their top people working on the .NET jit and compiler, and the VS Code editor. None left for naming conventions.

My favorite is their cloud platform, Azure, named after the color of a clear blue sky.

Personally, I low how they used the name C# for two completely different languages (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ricom/2009/10/05/my-history...).

Also, C# can be read as C++++.

    C ++
      ++

Admittedly, most will never have heard of the older one.

Not to be confused with their upcoming Kinect Azure: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/kinect-dk/

And that is all before you get to the frameworks. The latest "ASP" framework is called "ASP.NET Core" which succeeded "ASP.NET 4" and confusingly is available for both ".NET Framework" and ".NET Core".

The cherry on top is what they plan on calling the next major release. You guessed it! .NET 6.
