WHY .NET FRAMEWORK IS OUR TOPMOST CHOICE FOR DEVELOPING BUSINESS APPLICATIONS?

When our clients look to us for software development tools and framework recommendations, we take many factors into consideration and strictly avoid the approach of having only a hammer as a tool whereby everything looks like a nail. Some of the factors we consider are ease of implementation, readily available talent pool, cloud readiness, cross-platform compatibility, and scalability.

.NET is a software development framework that supports running Windows, Mobile and Web Applications. Software development tools such as Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code can be used to develop applications on Windows and Mac. With the advent of .NET Core, software could be deployed to both Windows and Linux platforms.

Benefits of using .NET for Business Application Development
The success or failure of any venture or product in the market is measured by return on investment. One of the components of measuring ROI is investment cost. Utilizing .NET’s rapid application development features and a proficient and cost-effective IT organization like Integrative Systems results in decreased time to market and investment costs.

1. Less Coding and Increased Reuse of Code:
   The .NET framework supports many object-oriented programming languages which lend themselves very well to code efficiency and reuse. The .NET framework has countless built-in features thus reducing software development time and the need to re-invent the wheel.

2. Deployment:
   With .NET development tools Visual Studio and Visual Studio code, applications can seamlessly be deployed directly onto web servers or cloud virtual machines and web applications. With Azure DevOps, code changes can automatically be built, validated, and deployed to target environments; this is known as Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD).

3. History and Reliability:
   The .NET framework was introduced in 2002 and has since withstood the test of time with a large user base. The framework has had 4 major releases. In 2014, Microsoft introduced .NET Core; a version of .NET that could be deployed to Linux operating systems as well as Windows. Due to its large user base, how to and code examples are widely available. According to a stack overflow 2019 survey, .NET took fourth place among frameworks, second (.NET) and third place (.NET Core) as the most used framework beyond web development.

4. Security:
   The .NET framework has security built in. In addition to role base security and social media login support, .NET incorporates OAuth bearer tokens, Active Directory as well as custom logins.

5. Use across Platforms and Languages:
   With .NET core, applications can be deployed to both Windows and Linux operating systems. .NET development can be performed on Windows and Mac Operating systems. .NET supports many programing languages including C#, C++, F#, JScript, Iron Ruby, Iron Python, Visual Basic and many others can be added as packages.

6. Use for Service-Oriented Architecture:
   .NET supports a service-oriented architecture where web-based components can communicate with each other via internet protocols. These components can be written in any language utilizing REST API standard JSON format. This architecture allows users to avoid the traditional monolithic application. Another benefit of this architecture is the ability to scale for high availability and the re-usability of domain objects.

7. Integration with Legacy Systems:
   .NET supports traditional file based and SOAP XML based interfaces for integration with legacy systems.

Types of Applications that can be built with .NET
Windows Desktop
Console application (no UI, typically background processes)
Web – Model View Controller, Razor Pages, Angular, React, VUE JS, JavaScript and static HTML.
REST Web API
SOAP WEB API
Mobile – Xamarin
