# .NET Core Roadmap

.NET Core is a general purpose, modular, cross-platform and open source
|
|
|
|
implementation of .NET. It includes a runtime, framework libraries, compilers
|
|
|
|
and tools that support a variety of chip and OS targets. These components can be
|
|
|
|
used together or separately.

At Microsoft, .NET has always been an important component of other teams'
|
|
|
|
products and has largely shipped on their schedules. It means that we have to
|
|
|
|
take their dates seriously and integrate them into the .NET Core schedule.

Broad goals:
|
|
|
|
|
2016-12-13 01:42:06 +01:00
|
|
|
* .NET Core code is high quality, has compelling performance, and is highly
|
|
|
|
reliable.
|
|
|
|
* .NET Core can be ported to a broad set of OS platforms and chip architectures.
|
|
|
|
* .NET Core can be deployed with the application, side-by-side with other
|
|
|
|
versions.
|
|
|
|
* .NET Core has a broad API surface that makes it suitable for most payloads.
|
|
|
|
* Developers can acquire a .NET Core developer environment quickly and
|
|
|
|
intuitively.
|
|
|
|
* Developers can productively and intuitively build apps, using documentation,
|
|
|
|
samples, community resources, and NuGet packages.

The .NET Core maintainers have taken a liberal approach to contributions since
|
|
|
|
the outset of the .NET Core open source project and have taken changes outside
|
|
|
|
of the published
|
|
|
|
[priorities](https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/Documentation/project-docs/project-priorities.md).

Microsoft ships multiple .NET Core distros. It is important that Microsoft can
|
|
|
|
successfully ship .NET Core at quality and meet its desired dates.

.NET Core will ship as part of many Linux distros and we are actively working
|
|
|
|
with key partners in the Linux community to make it natural for .NET Core to go
|
|
|
|
everywhere people need it. We are constantly looking to expand our distro
|
|
|
|
support and welcome contributions and collaborations in this direction.
