Difference between .NET Core and .NET Framework

When preparing for your .NET Core category interview, it's important to understand the distinctions between .NET Core and the traditional .NET Framework:

.NET Core

• Open-source cross-platform framework
• Larger subset of .NET Standard
• Modular ecosystem
• Optimized for microservices and containerized applications

.NET Framework

• Windows-only framework
• Full .NET Standard compatibility
• Monolithic framework
• Well-established for traditional desktop applications

Understanding these differences will help you effectively utilize both .NET Core and .NET Framework in your projects and during your interview.
