TechEd North America 2014 - vNext This month, Microsoft's TechEd conference took place, with a lot of announcements. One of the biggest was a view on the future of ASP.NET and .NET in general. A lot of big things are changing inside Microsoft, where modularity and being more open takes a central role. In a previous newsletter, we already encountered OWIN, the middleware between web server and application. Microsoft will build all of vNext based on this, MVC 6 (which combines MVC, Web API and Web Pages into one), SignalR 3, and Entity Framework 7 will all follow this philosophy.
