Upgrading a .NET Framework example app

We will now see the previously discussed concepts in action. It's time to do the hands-on exercise, folks! In this section, we will go through a step-by-step approach of migrating an example app named BookApp from .NET Framework 4.7.2 to .NET 5.

The sample code for this exercise is provided in two folders:

• The code to begin this exercise is the netframework472 folder: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Adopting-.NET-5--Architecture-Migration-Best-Practices-and-New-Features/tree/master/Chapter05/netframework472.
• The code in its final form after being upgraded to .NET 5 is in the net5 folder: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Adopting-.NET-5--Architecture-Migration-Best-Practices-and-New-Features/tree/master/Chapter05/net5.

During this upgrade journey to the latest .NET platform, we will come across, review, and make decisions to resolve various issues that any typical .NET application would face during migration.
