Microsoft has unveiled a second preview of its planned .NET 10 developer platform, featuring enhancements related to encryption, the .NET runtime, and the C# language.

Microsoft’s Multiplatform App UI framework for .NET allows developers to build desktop and mobile apps from a single C# and XAML codebase.

Arriving with .NET 7 in early November will be many new features in C# 11, the latest iteration of Microsoft's flagship programming language.

For the first time since initial publication in 2017, Microsoft has updated its guidance for the .NET language strategy. There are no major changes but the idea is to make it more discoverable.
