What Is .NET?

Any operating system may execute native desktop, online, and mobile apps created with the.NET open-source framework. The.NET system has tools, libraries, and languages that facilitate the creation of contemporary, scalable, and high-performance software. The .NET platform is supported and maintained by a vibrant developer community.

In simple terms, the .NET platform is a software that can do these tasks:

Convert the code of the.NET programming language into instructions that a computer can understand.
Make tools available for effective software development. It can, for instance, determine the time or print text on the screen.
Establish a collection of data types for the computer to use for storing data such as text, numbers, and dates.

What is a .NET implementation?

.NET code may run on a variety of operating platforms, including Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and many more thanks to various.NET implementations.

.NET Framework

The first.NET implementation was the.NET Framework. On Windows, it supports running webpages, services, desktop applications, and more. Early in the 1990s, Microsoft released the.NET Framework.

.NET Core

In order to provide.NET developers with cross-platform capabilities, Microsoft released.NET Core in late 2014. In November 2020, the firm changed the.NET Core to.NET and launched the most recent version ,.NET 5.0. In this article, the phrase “.NET” refers to.NET 5.0. Open-source.NET Core is available on GitHub.

.NET Standard

A formal specification of several functions (referred to as APIs) is the.NET Standard. The same code and libraries can be used by various.NET implementations. Both.NET standard APIs and particular APIs designed for the operating systems each implementation utilizes are used.

Why choose .NET?

Ease of development

Because .NET has so many tools at their disposal that make their jobs easier, developers choose to use them. Developers can collaborate effectively, write code more quickly, test and fix their code more effectively, and more using the Visual Studio suite, for instance. The cost of development is decreased by the ability to reuse code between implementations.

High-performing applications

Applications built with .NET respond more quickly and use less processing power. They effectively carry out server-side functions like database access and have robust built-in security mechanisms.

Community support

Because .NET is open source, anyone can access it and use, read, and modify it without restriction. The.NET software is updated and maintained by a vibrant community of programmers. An independent nonprofit group called the.NET Foundation was created to help the.NET community. It offers.NET developers educational materials, open-source.NET projects, and a variety of events.
