net5 out of support [Answered]
Hi, I just started a C# course on udemy and the course said it's going to be taught in net5, but visual studio said Net5 is not supported anymore. What does that mean and what do I do? Can I learn how to code in Net5 even though it's not supported anymore or do I have to transcribe it to net6? Thank you in advance.

It means it won't be getting any feature updates, security updates, or bugfixes anymore.
That said, you can still use it and it won't create any issues
Or you can use .NET 6 with the course, and you'll still be fine
There weren't that many changes
No changes that would matter at the beginner level for sure
Thanks for answering! Another question though. What is security update and is that important?
Let's say it's like a bugfix but specifically for security issues
For example, it might've been discovered that some part of the JIT compiler is prone to attacks by manipulating RAM directly or something
That vulnerability will be patched out in the "alive" versions, but will not be patched in the "dead" versions
Should I worry about security updates if its just a course that I am doing?
Not really, no
I see, okay thank you so much!
Just download .Net 6. You'll be fine.
Okay will do!
