MYOB API and .NET Core 3.1

will MYOB look at an API for this environment?   is the existing API fully compatable?

 

Microsoft will no longer be developing .NET Framework after version 4.8

 

My concern is, my future software development will be in .Net Core 3.1 or newer, and may not support the existing MYOB API 

Microsfts support term will have a shortened support period for Long Term Support releases to three years - previously it was 10 years.

 

 

  • Hi skihappy 

     

    As a developer using Microsoft tools myself, I try to keep up with news on new developments. Not sure if you have seen it but they (Microsoft) will be realsesing .Net 5 soon (November?) which will make Framework 4.?? + Core 3.1 end of life. 

     

    I am reasonably confident that MYOB will have something in place to replace anything that is needed to be replaced but will also continue to support older versions for a while.

     

    Without change developers would have a short career.

     

    Cheers

     

    Steve.

    Yep, you are right

     

    .Net5 = .net framework merged with .Net Core

     

    a better way to go, moving forward

     

     

    and yes, change always pays the bills
