| What Is .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. .NET-connected
software delivers what developers need to create XML Web services and
stitch them together. The benefit to individuals is seamless, compelling
experiences with information sharing. |

The
Components of Microsoft .NET-Connected Software |
||||
.NET
is infused into the products that make up the Microsoft platform, providing
the ability to quickly and reliably build, host, deploy, and utilize
secure and connected solutions using XML Web services. The Microsoft
platform provides a suite of developer tools, client applications, XML
Web services, and servers necessary to participate in this connected
world. |
||||
Why
.NET? Getting Beyond Technology Roadblocks |
||||
The
driving force behind Microsoft® .NET is a shift in focus from individual
Web sites or devices to new constellations of computers, devices, and
services that work together to deliver broader, richer solutions. Microsoft
.NET solves core problems underlying software development and use today
for end users, businesses, developers, and IT Pros:

Challenges
for Individuals |
||||
| Ever
been frustrated trying to move among Web sites, applications and devices—entering
the same information again and again, tracking multiple user names and
passwords, and wrestling with arduous ways to synch up data? Microsoft
.NET redefines user friendly. You can move around an intelligent, personalized
Internet, which remembers your preferences and delivers the appropriate
data at the appropriate time to any smart device you choose. |
||||
Challenges
for Business |
||||
Is
your business locked into a particular system or partner because it's
so difficult and expensive to integrate systems? Microsoft .NET technology's
reliance on XML for data exchange—an open standard managed by
the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)—and modular XML Web services
removes barriers to data sharing and software integration. Are your customers, employees, and partners prevented from connecting with your organization on the devices they prefer? With .NET, one XML Web service works with all devices, eliminating the need for different versions. Uncoupling the display characteristics from the .NET experience makes it easy to add new interface technologies, like speech and handwriting recognition, without the need to rewrite the application. Concerned that adopting new technology will require you to replace legacy systems? Microsoft .NET products such as BizTalk™ Server and Host Integration Server are designed to make it simple to integrate existing assets into new .NET XML Web services and .NET experiences. |
||||
Challenges
for Developers |
||||
Do
you miss business opportunities because it takes too long to build and
integrate applications? .NET technology, through the .NET Framework's
common language runtime, enables XML Web services to interoperate whatever
their source language. Developers can build reusable XML Web services
instead of monolithic applications. By making it easy to offer your
XML Web services to others, .NET opens the door to new revenue streams.
Do basic plumbing chores pull resources away from your core business? The ability to easily find available XML Web services means you can buy pieces of your applications rather than build everything from scratch, focusing your time and money where it makes the most sense. |
