Microsoft Ignite 2015 demonstrated lots of innovation Microsoft
is putting in various technologies and its products. There were hundreds of
sessions which seems like a must watch, however due to time constraints it is
not possible to go through each and every one of them.
To help out Dot Net community out here I handpicked 8 Ignite
2015 sessions for Dot Net enthusiast to get the taste of next versions of .Net
related technologies.
1.
A Lap
around .NET 2015: .NET 2015 is the next generation of .NET. This release
encompasses several new innovations that improve developer productivity and enhance
application performance. .NET 2015 builds on the advancements available in
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 to deliver a highly compatible
platform for building applications for the mobile-first, cloud-first world.

What's
New in C# 6.0 and Visual Basic 14: C# 6.0 and Visual Basic 14 both add
a number of bite-sized new features, all aimed at making your everyday code
cleaner and clearer. Instead of introducing new concepts, each feature makes a
common coding pattern simpler, and removes boilerplate to let the intent of the
code stand out. In this session, we walk you through all of these language
features: interpolated strings, a nameof operator, an operator called Elvis,
and many more.

well like TagHelpers, the unification of MVC and Web API, the componentization
of the .NET Framework, dependency injection built in, an all-new project
system, and deep client-side tooling for things like Bower, Gulp, and Grunt.
