| Microsoft .Net |
 |
Microsoft .NET is a set of Microsoft software technologies for connecting your
world of information, people, systems, and devices. It enables an unprecedented
level of software integration through the use of XML Web services: small,
discrete, building-block applications that connect to each other—as well as to
other, larger applications—via the Internet.
Arete Industries is committed to this new technology, and, as of Oct 2002,
we now have over 18 months of experience in the design and
development of .Net web applications. |
| What Is the .NET Framework? |
|
The .NET Framework is the programming model of the .NET environment for
building, deploying, and running Web-based applications, smart client
applications, and XML Web services. It manages much of the plumbing, enabling
developers to focus on writing the business logic code for their applications.
The .NET Framework includes the common language runtime and class libraries. |
| Common Language Runtime |
| The common language runtime is responsible for run time
services such as language integration, security enforcement, memory, process, and
thread management. In addition, it has a role at development time when features
such as life-cycle management, strong type naming, cross-language exception
handling, dynamic binding, and so on, reduce the amount of code that a
developer must write to turn business logic into a reusable component.
As a result our systems architects and software developers can focus less
on technical programming details, and more on the business problems
we are trying to solve for you, our client. |
 |
| Class Libraries |
|
Within the Common Language Runtime, base classes provide standard functionality
such as input/output, string manipulation, security management, network communications,
thread management,text management, user interface design features, and other functions.
The Microsoft ADO.NET data classes support persistent data management and include
SQL classes for manipulating persistent data stores through a standard SQL
interface. XML classes enable XML data manipulation and XML searching and
translations. The Microsoft ASP.NET classes support the development of Web-based
applications and XML Web services. The Windows Forms classes support the
development of Windows-based smart client applications. Together, the class
libraries provide a common, consistent development interface across all
languages supported by the .NET Framework. |
| High-Level Statistics and Market Momentum |
|
The .NET Framework has been live since January 2002. The Beta releases
reached over 4 million developers worldwide through 3.5 million CDs and 700,000
unique downloads.
Compilers for over 20 programming languages are available for use with the
.NET Framework.
Dozens of components and controls are now available from third-party
vendors.
Microsoft is aggressively deploying .NET Framework–based applications today.
MSN® and the Microsoft.com Smart 404 are just a few of the many Microsoft
applications already transitioned to the .NET Framework. |
| Rapid Development |
|
The multiple-language capability of the .NET Framework enables Arete Industries
developers to use the programming language that is most appropriate for a given
task and to combine languages within a single application. The component-based,
plumbing-free design of the .NET Framework enables our developers to write less code.
That means we can deliver custom software solutions to your business problem
in less time, with less errors, and at a lower cost to you, our client.
