About .NET: A Microsoft operating system platform that incorporates applications, a suite of tools and services and a change in the infrastructure of the companys Web strategy. There are four main principles of .NET from the perspective of the user: 1. It erases the boundaries between applications and the Internet. Instead of interacting with an application or a single Web site, .NET will connect the user to an array of computers and services that will exchange and combine objects and data. 2. Software will be rented as a hosted service over the Internet instead of purchased on a store shelf. Essentially, the Internet will be housing all your applications and data. 3. Users will have access to their information on the Internet from any device, anytime, anywhere. 4. There will be new ways to interact with application data, such as speech and handwriting recognition. .NET depends on four Internet standards: HTTP XML SOAP UDDI Advantages: There are many advantages,such as: 1. Executable portions of a Web application compiled so they execute more quickly than interpreted scripts. 2. On-the-fly updates of deployed Web applications without restarting the server. 3. Access to the .NET Framework, which extends the Windows API. 4. Use of the widely known Visual Basic programming language, which has been enhanced to fully support object-oriented programming. 5. Introduction of the new Visual C# programming language, which provides a type-safe, object-oriented version of the C programming language. 6. Automatic state management for controls on a Web page (called server controls) so that they behave much more like Windows controls. 7. The ability to create new, customized server controls from existing controls. 8. Built-in security through the Windows server or through other authentication/authorization methods. 9. Integration with Microsoft ADO.NET to provide database access and database design tools from within Visual Studio .NET. 10. Full support for Extensible Markup Language (XML), cascading style sheets (CSS), and other new and established Web standards. 11. Built-in features for caching frequently requested Web pages on the server, localizing content for specific languages and cultures, and detecting browser capabilities.
