________________________________Before we start discussing about .NET, let's try to understand "What" & "WHY" about .NET?
So, What is .NET ? It's a cross-platform, open source
developer platform for building many different types of application. You can
use multiple languages, editors, and libraries to build for web, mobile, desktop,
gaming and IoT using .NET.
Now, Why .NET? Despite many popular programming languages like Java, C, C++,
Python etc and cross platform technology available. Why Microsoft developed and
promote another framework i.e .NET? The reason is, "Market Share &
Business strategy". Yes, .NET is possible recreation of Java because
Microsoft just couldn't afford losing all its VB developers to Java, so they created .NET. Moreover, Java is a language, while .NET is a
framework and it's aimed at writing business applications. Though you can do
just about anything with it
Ø History
& Origin of .NET
First beta versions of .NET 1.0 was released in late 2000.
However, Microsoft began developing it under the name of NGWS(Next Generation
Windows Services) in late 1990s. Latest
version is .NET Framework 4.7.2
Ø Advantages of .NET
Framework Security: Describes mechanisms for
protecting resources and code from unauthorized code and unauthorized users.
Cross Platform: Your code
will run naively on any compatible OS whether you're working in C#, F#, or
Visual Basic.
Multi-Language
Support:
you can write .NET apps in C#, F#, or Visual Basic.
- C#
is a simple, modern, object-oriented, and type-safe programming language.
- F# is a cross-platform,
open-source, functional programming language for .NET. It also includes
object-oriented and imperative programming.
- Visual Basic is an approachable language with a simple syntax for building type-safe, object-oriented apps.
Common Run-time Engine: Also
known as the common language runtime, this allows programs developed in .NET to
exhibit common behaviors in memory usage, exception handling and security.
Base
Class Library: A library of code for most
common functions--used by programmers to avoid repetitive rewriting of code.
Ø Scope of .NET Technology:
The .NET Framework helps you create
mobile, desktop, and web applications that run on Windows PCs, devices and
servers and it's included in Visual Studio. On the server side, .NET
Core is breaking records and performs faster than any other popular framework.
That means applications provide better response times and require less compute
power. Concluding the analysis, we can say "Scope and Future are
immense for .Net".
