It's Been One Year Since Microsoft Announced .NET Open-Source, Linux Plans
Today marks one year since Microsoft announced they would be working on open-sourcing the server-side .NET and also making .NET run on Linux and OS X. Since then, it's been one heck of a year for Microsoft on Linux.
Microsoft has been sticking to their word and open-sourcing various .NET components and other tools like the open-sourced MSBuild engine. They've continued working on pushing .NET for Linux and Mono has continued as well. With this year's Visual Studio 2015 release is the first where they provide Linux targeting support.
In September's The Surprising Open-Source / Linux Microsoft Announcements Made So Far This Year article I outlined some of the other interesting open-source/Linux work by Microsoft this year. Since then has been more news about their work on an LLVM compiler, early OpenSSH code for Windows, and Red Hat partnering up with Microsoft in the cloud.
At the one year mark since their original announcement, it will be interesting to see what 2016 holds for Microsoft on Linux.
