Some thoughts on.Net desktop development

stay 22 Japan , I posted a short message on official account , The contents are as follows ：

Actually in .NET In the development army , There is also a force , That is the developers of desktop programs . They seldom speak , Maybe the technology is mature , It may be too entrepreneurial , Maybe I didn't notice . I've been thinking about , Should we also share this technology . I don't know whether everyone pays attention to ？ Or do you have any good suggestions , You can leave me a message , thank you

Up to now （24 Early Wednesday morning ） received 30 Messages from friends of several official account , Although the content is varied , But in terms of semantics and word number , This is the true psychological portrayal of everyone , Everyone loves desktop Technology , I hope the sharing of desktop technology in the community is still very strong .

There are also some people who want to share technology in the upper computer , But because of myself No, Engaged in related work , So I'm sorry , It can't bring you practice and sharing , Although the business scenario is unfamiliar , If there is any technical problem , Can communicate , If representative , It can form a technical article , Record it together , Jointly published on official account , Help others with similar problems .

I did it myself 10 Years of CS Development , Although I have been engaged in web Development and architecture work , But I still love desktop development . Recently, I have been thinking , Desktop development , There are mainly the following aspects ：

Technical level ：.NET Desktop development has always been based on WinForm,WPF Mainly , Although later introduced UWP And the recently launched MAUI, But with WPF The keynote of is the same . In the traditional industry , Desktop development should still be WinForm It has more shares , There are also considerable traditional applications to WPF transfer （ This is just a personal feeling from the information around , There is no real investigation ）. No matter WinForm still WPF, It has been launched for quite a long time , The technology is relatively mature , The biggest change in the near future is from .NET Framework go to .NET（core）, This does not mean that they can cross platform to Linux I'm off , Just for the sake of unity .NET Basic framework library .MAUI On the contrary, it can be more handy on cross platform . With the ever-changing web Different technology ,.NET These two frameworks of the desktop have not changed much , But that doesn't mean CS The architecture has not changed ,WinForm and WPF Is more of a UI layer , Presentation layer ,CS The program of architecture is not only UI, Later, there are those who deal with data ORM, With the three parties API Communicative http signal communication , Traffic with resources IO etc. , With .NET Is evolving . Take a simple example , Such as accessing data ,IO and Http Asynchronization of （ Although not the upgrade in recent days ）, Is an important change ; also HttpClient The continuous optimization of , Also proved that .NET The evolution and promotion of class libraries . So , In a broad sense WinForm and WPF It's old technology , It means UI There are no more new things on the level , Comparative control ,UI Rendering mechanism , as well as UI There is not much change in performance improvement .

Human level ：.NET The proportion of courses in higher education is relatively low , There are few real hobbies and users from the University , That's it .NET People on desktop development , It's rare , Therefore, it is even more difficult to expect to recruit suitable people from the stable human resource market of college students . Usually, enterprises let some experienced programmers turn to or do desktop development , After all WinForm and WPF" Drag and drop " And we're done .

Based on these two aspects , Want to put WinForm and WPF These two old bottles , Fill it with new wine , Have a drink with you . First, traditional noodles UI And changing with each passing day Web The combination of Technology , Let them learn from each other , Match each other , To improve the performance of desktop systems and reduce development costs . Two is I hope to sign with you Launch some series of articles （ For example, the upper computer ）, To provide new people with some help within their capabilities , Give Way .NET The desktop is followed by better people .

I know that too. , My ability and time are also very limited , After all, I have to support my family , It's impossible to devote all your energy to the community , But in the spirit of “ Every step is worth a thousand miles ” The spirit of , I still hope to record , Let those who need get what they need .

Yes CS framework , Or you who have ideas in related fields , You can add me wechat , Offline communication .

A journey , Begins with a single step , I will write some basic ones in the near future , And have their own stupid opinions WinForm article , Start with CS Discussion of the framework .
