.NET-3
•Abstract:Microsoft’s .NET technology is gaining a lot of momentum. It has brought the next wave of excitement in the software development community and is challenging the state of the current practices. A number of technologies that have been developed in the recent past have made significantly contribution in the .NET technology. What are the main features and goals of the .NET environment? The Common Type System, the managed code and the Common Language Runtime makes the programming language almost a non-issue in .NET. It truly provides great language interoperability. The common class library/framework makes developing graphical and multithreaded applications a breeze in both VB.NET and C# and any of the other supported languages for that matter. What about the distributed object computing? XML technology serves as the marshaling wire protocol in .NET, making web services truly platform independent. In this presentation, we will look at the goals and features of .NET, we will discuss some of the strengths of this framework and take a look at some of the weaknesses as well. Code examples will be presented to illustrate the concepts.
