Importance of Microsoft .NET Framework

• .NET is a framework that Microsoft has introduced to develop applications easily. A framework can be understood as a collection of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and a set of code that a programmer can call without having to write it properly.
• The .NET framework is a repository of huge number of shared code. This set of shared code has made the lives of developers much easier and saved their quality time as they do not write the complete code again and again, instead focus on the code unique to their application.
• Microsoft .NET applications can be written in languages such as C+, F+ or Visual Basic. These applications then run on any compatible Operating System. .NET framework supports websites, services and desktop apps, among others.

Reasons behind using Microsoft.NET Framework

Increased Reliability

• Applications built with this framework sustain for a longer time and are considered reliable. The .NET framework is especially beneficial to web application developers as all .NET applications do not work without it.

Greater Productivity

• The features such as the programming model and the library of shared codes help you in enhancing productivity to another level. For developers, working with .NET framework aids in performance improvement and speeding up of the web applications.

Enhanced Performance

• • With the help of features like advanced compilation and catching strategies, the performance increases and the applications perform faster than before.

Adheres to Security Measures

• • • The .NET framework from Microsoft is capable of handling the security of applications, considering the present environment regarding internet safety. For instance, the framework collects evidences such as the author’s name and the origin of the web application and accordingly take decisions regarding the application’s access.

Controlled Memory Leaks

• • • A reduction in memory leaks are seen with the .NET Common Language Runtime which provides an environment wherein the memory is managed by the Garbage Collector.

 Easy Deployment

• • • Managing, running and deploying web based applications becomes easy with .NET framework. The applications created with the help of this framework are easily deployed to a server machine by copying the directory of applications to the targeted machine.

why does Microsoft .Net matter?

• • • In recent years, cloud deployment of solutions has become more and more important.
    • What started out as a one horse pony (Amazon AWS), has now become a fight for the pockets of enterprise and minds of developers, and Microsoft, with Azure, is racing to the top very fast. Cloud is not as simple as the desktop, cloud operates at scale and requires different kinds of thinking and technologies.
    • These systems run distributed, highly fault-tolerant systems and services that are designed to operate at scale, and in many cases, are developed on top of multi-platform systems that are not as interdependent as we might have used previously.
    • .NET Core is first and foremost, MODULAR, MANAGED and CROSS PLATFORM (in the true sense).
    • The platform is clearly built with the cloud in mind and is initially at least targeting low level/server-based systems.
    • In tests recently .NET Core outperformed NodeJS and GO 8x - that's really interesting and calls for some serious investigation - that kind of performance can both save money for the enterprise, and also offer a new opportunity for raw speed of processing.

Features of the common language runtime

• • The common language runtime manages memory, thread execution, code execution, code safety verification, compilation, and other system services. These features are intrinsic to the managed code that runs on the common language runtime.
  • Regarding security, managed components are awarded varying degrees of trust, depending on a number of factors that include their origin (such as the Internet, enterprise network, or local computer).
  • This means that a managed component might or might not be able to perform file-access operations, registry-access operations, or other sensitive functions, even if it's used in the same active app.
  • The runtime also enforces code robustness by implementing a strict type-and-code-verification infrastructure called the common type system (CTS). The CTS ensures that all managed code is self-describing.
  • The various Microsoft and third-party language compilers generate managed code that conforms to the CTS. This means that managed code can consume other managed types and instances, while strictly enforcing type fidelity and type safety.
  • In addition, the managed environment of the runtime eliminates many common software issues. For example, the runtime automatically handles object layout and manages references to objects, releasing them when they are no longer being used.
  • This automatic memory management resolves the two most common app errors, memory leaks and invalid memory references.
  • The runtime also accelerates developer productivity. For example, programmers write apps in their development language of choice yet take full advantage of the runtime, the class library, and components written in other languages by other developers.
  • Any compiler vendor who chooses to target the runtime can do so. Language compilers that target the .NET Framework make the features of the .NET Framework available to existing code written in that language, greatly easing the migration process for existing apps.
  • While the runtime is designed for the software of the future, it also supports software of today and yesterday. Interoperability between managed and unmanaged code enables developers to continue to use necessary COM components and DLLs.
  • The runtime is designed to enhance performance. Although the common language runtime provides many standard runtime services, managed code is never interpreted. A feature called just-in-time (JIT) compiling enables all managed code to run in the native machine language of the system on which it's executing.
  • Meanwhile, the memory manager removes the possibilities of fragmented memory and increases memory locality-of-reference to further increase performance.
  • Finally, the runtime can be hosted by high-performance, server-side apps, such as Microsoft SQL Server and Internet Information Services (IIS). This infrastructure enables you to use managed code to write your business logic, while still enjoying the superior performance of the industry's best enterprise servers that support runtime hosting.
