What is .
Net Framework?
The
.NET framework (DotNet) is a new Microsoft initiative directed to the
modification of computer world. More specifically, it is a large set of
development tools, servers,
software, and services. Its main advantages for the
user are creation of an integrated information space connecting him or her with
computers and programs, as well as connection software applications together.
For developers, the value of DotNet lies in interoperability and the seamless
connectivity of multiple systems and sources of data. This empowers them to
quickly and easily create required products.
Where you can implement?
The
IT department manager of every
company has a dream -- an enterprise that
performs all business transactions with partners exceptionally over the
Internet, with no headaches about the business processes. For this to happen,
the processes must be well designed, stable, and easily customized and
controlled both from the local network and from any computer in the Internet.
All company''s employees should have general access to work information, Email
and personal documents no matter if they use mobile phone, Pocket PC, Notebook
or high-end workstation.
Basics of Microsoft .Net
Nowadays,
in an age of rapid development of E-commerce, the existing tools for creating
digital marketplaces do not always handle the business needs. By developing the
new means for this field a major breakthrough belongs to XML Web services. For
a long period of time these were used by program engineering services provided
by external software. When it became clear that it is easier to once create a
universal information storage facility and to integrate it into different
programs than invent each time a new one, there appeared first Database
Management Systems. Next step was the creation of messaging and collaboration
systems, e.g. Lotus Notes and Exchange, which simultaneously served as
development platforms. Then came into use; the products providing messages
delivery (Message Oriented Middleware); such as IBM MQSeries and MSMQ. They
allowed organizing message exchange in distributed system with manifold (and
often unreliable) communication links. Their difference from mail servers lay
in the fact that they were oriented on information exchange not between people
but various parts of program systems. Finally, one of the last tendencies
became
application Servers and Enterprise Application Integration Servers.
First ones allow to create scalable solutions of simple software components
giving them a ready means of supporting distributed transactions, controlling
access to total resources (particularly, connection with database) etc.
Enterprise Application Integration Server acts as glue, being the intermediate
among existing program systems and helping them to process data and exchange
references. Web services enhance and extend the value of these existing
technologies. They allow an object''s methods to be called over the Internet via
HTTP. As a result, programs written in any language, and running on any
operating system, can access .NET applications implemented as web services. By
introducing common, well-known standards of interaction between software, Web
service technology allows for the creation of inter-corporate information
systems without protracted coordination of proprietary interfaces. In addition,
the use of HTTP as the transport mechanism allows remote calls to these
services to pass through corporate firewalls without compromising security. Web
services existed before .NET was introduced, but the .NET framework makes
creation of web services far easier than they otherwise would be.
Offers wide range of Integrated
solution Breaking
down the distinctions between the Internet, standalone applications, and
computing devices of every kind, Web services provide businesses with the
opportunity to collaborate and to offer an unprecedented range of integrated
and customized solutions - solutions that enable their customers to act on
information any time, any place and on any device.
How it is beneficial to IT professionals?
DotNet
(.Net) technology offers other far-reaching benefits for IT professionals. It
enables programmers to develop powerful information systems using all
capabilities of modern computers and networks without implementing helper
functions implementation -- almost all of these functions are subsumed into the
platform). It allows concentrating only on the business logic of the product.
Thus developers will be able to quickly create high-quality (and easy!)
programs with a multitude of Internet integrated capabilities while reducing
costs.
