| Microsoft .Net |
| Enhancing your web experience using Microsoft .NET |
| Microsoft .NET is designed to take people beyond worrying
about how they need to interact with their computers, freeing
them to focus on what to do with their computers to perform
their tasks and accomplish their goals. Activities that are
still hard now—like reconciling statements from a number of
different banks, credit-card companies, and billing agents so
that you can pay your bills and file your expense
reports—will become much easier as user data can be linked
across sites and applications.
The basic elements of the
.NET infrastructure:
|
-
Client software applications that
enable PCs and other devices to act on XML web services.
-
XML web services comprised of small reusable component
applications that can be connected together.
-
.NET servers for deploying, managing, and orchestrating
XML web services.
-
Development tools -- including Visual Studio .NET, and
the .NET Framework, -- for building, deploying and
running XML web services.
|
| Microsoft .NET offers a single
development environment for all of its supported languages
-- Visual Basic (VB), C++, and the new C#. C# has language
constructs similar to the Java language, and similarly
includes garbage collection. The .NET environment lets
developers enable applications as web services. And
developers can then aggregate the web services into larger
applications, which can be called from any platform running
a web services stack. Meanwhile, .NET My Services takes some
of the traditional Microsoft client applications -- like
Wallet, Inbox, Calendar, and Profile -- and breaks them down
into individual web services.
Applications written in
VB, C++, and C# all use the same system libraries under
.NET, and they are compiled into pseudo-code, the Microsoft
Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is interpreted at
execution time by a Common Language Runtime (CLR).
Globalcase is building
applications around the framework for its clients to
effectively migrate & reap benefits of the platform.
