One of the most dynamic web applications used in the business today is .NET. Microsoft began the development of the .NET Framework in the late ’90s, originally under the name of Next Generation Windows Services (NGWS). It is a Microsoft web services strategy to connect information, people, systems and devices through the .NET software; it makes it really efficient for any user to share and use their information between multiple websites, programs, and computers.

So, What Is .NET?

.NET, otherwise known as .NET Framework, is a type of software development in the digital development industry; it is created by Microsoft, and primarily runs on Microsoft Windows. The .NET Framework uses language interoperability, which can use a code written in other languages in a large Framework Class Library (FCL). The FCL provides the user interface, database connectivity, web application development, data access, numeric algorithms, network communications, and cryptography. Along with the class libraries, multiple app models are used to create web applications. On a consistent level, the .NET Framework automatically supports Console, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation[1], ASP. NET Core and ASP.NET. Any programs written in .NET use a software environment known in the programming world as CLR (Common Language Runtime). CLR is a virtual machine that can provide a range of services including: Security: .NET has its own security mechanism Code Access Security (CAS). CAS is constructed on evidence that is related with a specific assembly to govern the permissions approved to get to the code. Memory Management: CLR takes away the burden of managing memory from the developer; it handles memory management itself by detecting when memory can be safely freed. Performance: Upon application launch, the .NET Framework compiles the Common Intermediate Language code into executable code using its “Just-in-time” compiler, and stores the executable program into the .NET Native Image Cache. Thanks to this type of storing, the application launches faster, although the first launch is usually slower. To create dynamic web applications, programmers can create software by uniting their own source code with the .NET Framework and other libraries. As it stands, all new applications created to run on Microsoft Windows should use .NET. As technology is drastically evolving, computer systems usually require interaction between newer and older applications, so the .NET Framework provides access to the functionality implemented in newer and older programs that perform outside the .NET environment.

.NET Web Applications Development

If you have decided that .NET is the software you want to work with to create your web application, I would highly advise that you enlist the help of an IT company that programs the software on a professional level.  Programming may sound pretty straightforward, but it has been proven to be a highly complicated task. By going to someone who is a .NET web applications developer, they will have extensive knowledge in the software, and can program your application to your requirements. All you will need to do is provide the developers with said requirements and then, of course, pay for their time, which will be worth it in the long run. Before you make any final decisions, it might be worth doing your research on .NET web application development[2] to make sure you fully understand the process.
