Today, many companies require developers to create innovative applications and web solutions to support their business and keep itself ahead in this competition. At the same time there are a variety of programming languages and frameworks in software development. In the article Inoxoft’s expert dishes on one of the most used frameworks in the world, .net. Keep reading to learn what it is and what custom .net application development services can offer you.
What is .NET? Short overview
Microsoft’s .NET is an open-source and cross-platform development platform that supports up to 60 programming languages and hosts tools editors, and libraries to develop a variety of applications: web apps, mobile and IoT of any complexity. Basically, .NET is a comprehensive tool that was designed to facilitate the creation of scalable applications for any project’s size for startups and large enterprises. .Net is deployed by tech giants like Stack Overflow, Accenture, Intel, Intuit and Microsoft to develop stable, scalable and secure enterprise applications.
Most often .Net applications are written in the following coding languages: Visual Basic, C#, and F#:
● Visual Basic is a language that creates object-oriented and type-safe applications with the help of a simple approach and simple syntax.
● C# – object-oriented language that supports simplicity and modern type-safe app building.
● F# is an open-source, object-oriented cross-platform language for .Net.
However, over than 20 other programming languages are commonly used (for instance C++, Fantom, Cobra, Small Basic, Nemerle, PowerShell, and X#). Using these programming languages makes .Net code run natively on different operating systems (e.g. Windows, Linux, and macOS). .NET is also used as a programming model that enables fast app creation. It allows engineers to put together software services in one package.
Through the use of “building blocks” that are deployed by software engineers for a variety of projects, .NET streamline applications development and increase reliability. The object-oriented approach provides small pieces of code that can be included within any application.
Besides web and mobile app development, there are a lot of areas where .NET is applicable
● creating microservices that run on Docker
● mobile apps
● XML Web Services
● creation of 2D/3D games for desktop and mobile
● adding speech processing, vision algorithms, predictive models to enhance ML possibilities
● using existing cloud services or developing new ones
● CRM systems & inventory applications
● accounting systems
● bookkeeping systems
● business Intelligence applications
● warehouse systems
● dynamic websites
● logistics and supply chain management solutions
.Net valuable for app development due to the following features:
● open-source and cross-platform capabilities
● power to develop high-quality apps
● ability to develop apps type on any platform
● performing in less compute power and better response time
● secure and trustworthy managed environment that receives constant updates
● existence of extensive ecosystem of libraries e. g. Visual Studio and NuGet
Reasons to Consider .NET for Custom Software Development
Now, let’s deep dive into the benefits of custom .net application development services.
Secure Environment
All projects, especially those that are related to highly-sensitive industries (fintech or healthcare) demand strict cybersecurity. So, the development team has to ensure it through the whole development , lifecycle and in software itself. To create a secure software application the development environment used by your team has to include a set of required tools. And here comes .NET, that can easily implement role-based security, and other ways to secure your software.
Easy to deploy
Or in other words .NET is developer friendly, both for businesses and for developers. The framework has a list of useful resources and support system:
● Open-source add-ons
● Developers support
● Educational materials
● Certifications
Cross-platform functionality
With .NET framework cross-platform capabilities you can develop applications that are adaptable with all Microsoft products and also with other platforms like iOS, Android, Linux. a great solution for your software to work on a variety of devices simultaneously.
Also, that means that with .NET engineers don’t have to write separate code for each platform. It allows the reuse of a single codebase while creating cross-platform applications. This saves time and amount of efforts, optimizes resources and reduces the number of possible bugs.
XML Standard
Even if applications are written in other platforms or located in different environments or physical locations, they can seamlessly connect with each other. Due to the XML Standard used by .NET.
Scalability
When it comes to scalability, .NET is also one of the most favorite application development frameworks. While your business evolves, the framework allows you to improve your software as well: user base, functionality, data consumption, add new modules, update others, etc. Also, it enables the creation of blueprints, so developers can reuse some objects in different software. They can change code in one element of the app without changing others.
Maintenance
.NET tools let developers manage and maintain their web applications more effectively with a smaller number of codes. It also enables running updates, regression testing or upgrading to the latest .NET release more seamlessly.
Proved efficiency
Another reason to include .NET in the technology stack is that it’s one of the most reliable frameworks for app development. Supported by Microsoft, it is a tested and trusted tool that balances reliability and innovations across industries all around the world. It continues to evolve into new technologies over time.
Support community
Due to its popularity, .Net has one of the largest and extensive support programming communities of all available. There are around 60K developers and 3,700K companies contributing to the framework and applications development via .Net. Also, Microsoft engineers can take advantage of a variety of classes, third-party sources and programs that teach you about the web framework.
