.Net is a state-of -the-art technological philosophy, the essence of which includes simplicity of project development, its guaranteed safe functionality and easy integration of any software into the Internet. .Net serves a basis for brand new programming languages that have already been worked out - ASPDot Net (VBDot Net), C# (C Sharp), J# (Java Sharp), etc.
Microsoft .NET is software that connects information, people, systems, and devices. It spans clients, servers, and developer tools, and consists of:
- The .NET Framework 1.1, used for building and running all kinds of software, including Web-based applications, smart client applications, and XML Web services—components that facilitate integration by sharing data and functionality over a network through standard, platform-independent protocols such as XML (Extensible Markup Language), SOAP, and HTTP.
- Developer tools, such as Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET 2003 which provides an integrated development environment (IDE) for maximizing developer productivity with the .NET Framework.
- A set of servers, including Microsoft Windows® Server 2003, Microsoft SQL Server™, and Microsoft BizTalk® Server, that integrates, runs, operates, and manages Web services and Web-based applications.
- Client software, such as Windows XP, Windows CE, and Microsoft Office XP, that helps developers deliver a deep and compelling user experience across a family of devices and existing products.
In the Industry
"With the capabilities provided by [the .NET Framework], we'll be 25- to 50-percent more productive in delivering new solutions. Every aspect of the software development life cycle is made easier, from the creation of user interfaces to debugging and deploying the solution."
Brandie Lerner, team leader/manager, Pfizer, Inc.
"We get sub second page loads while handling millions of page views a day. We deployed on December 23, 2000 and haven't had a minute of downtime as of October 3, 2001, and we saved $1.3 million (US) over a Java 2 Enterprise Edition solution."
Stephen Forte, chief technology officer, Zagat Survey
"Compared with similar projects in the past, we're measuring deployment time in hours instead of weeks."
Ferdy Khater, director of application development, Continental Airlines
Customer Solutions Built on the .NET Framework
USATODAY.com: USATODAY.com Moves Toward Dynamic Publishing Model and Saves $400,000 US Annually with .NET
Using Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Framework, USATODAY.com produced its Automated Fronts application. ASP.NET made the development of the application easy and quick, and staffers were able to use the time that they saved to add more features to the application. The use of ASP.NET allowed USATODAY.com to introduce dynamic Web pages without having to scale its hosting infrastructure, while the .NET Framework COM interop technology simplified integration with the legacy system and allowed USATODAY.com to proceed with the migration to the .NET Framework at its own pace. Automated Fronts represents an initial step toward a fully dynamic publishing model and is expected to save 7,800 hours annually (valued at an estimated $400,000 US per year)—a labor savings that can be reinvested into the overall quality of USATODAY.com.
Bank of New York: The Bank of New York European Fund Services Group Switches Mission-Critical Fund Servicing Solution to Microsoft .NET, Cuts Time-to-Market by 40 Percent
Switching to Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Framework for the next major version of its fund servicing solution is delivering several strong benefits for The Bank of New York European Fund Services Group, including a 40-percent decrease in time-to-market, significant development cost savings, and a richer, more responsive user experience through the smart client capabilities of Windows Forms.
Intelsys presents the following .Net development services:
- Information and B2B portals;
- Content Management and Decision Support systems;
- Connected CRM applications;
- eCommerce and eBusiness solutions;
- Mobile connectivity;
- Custom solutions development.
We provide the following benefits of .NET technology
- The programming process is simplified to the maximum, hence, allowing speeding up project development significantly.
- Active use of XML markup as a superstructure to HTTP (traffic level). XML is more tuned to program-to-program types of connection (i.e. client -server, server-server, client - client), but not to server-to-user types.
- MS Passport Technology is perfect for unified user authorization.
