What is .NET?
The .NET Framework is a new computing platform that simplifies application development in the highly distributed environment of the Internet.
Objectives of .NET:
*To provide a consistent object-oriented programming environment whether object code is stored and executed locally, executed locally but Internet-distributed, or executed remotely.
*To provide a code-execution environment that minimizes software deployment and versioning conflicts.
*To provide a code-execution environment that guarantees safe execution of code, including code created by an unknown or semi-trusted third party.
*To provide a code-execution environment that eliminates the performance problems of scripted or interpreted environments.
*To make the developer experience consistent across widely varying types of applications, such as Windows-based applications and Web-based applications.
*To build all communication on industry standards to ensure that code based on the .NET Framework can integrate with any other code.

Uses of .NET Applications
Windows Forms
Windows Forms is the new platform for Microsoft Windows application development, based on the .NET Framework. This framework provides a clear, object-oriented, extensible set of classes that enables you to develop rich Windows applications.
Web Services
Web Services provide an easy to use ‘API’ that is web based to query and retrieve information such as stock quotes, airline schedules, weather, etc.

is the next generation of ASP applications for Microsoft. The single biggest advantage is compiled vs. interpreted. Resulting in greater scal
