It is being increasingly leveraged by enterprises to meet their myriad application needs including architecture, development, test, maintenance, support and upgrade. Based on the industry standards, the framework manages much of the processes involved in developing and running applications, enabling developers to focus on writing the core business logic code. Integrated with Visual Studio, .NET makes building applications simple with all the tools and support in place. No wonder, a recent WhiteHat Security Website Stats Report places .NET as the most widely used language with 28.1 percent of the web applications based on it. In tune with the increasing BYOD trend and multi-channel communication enterprise environment, .NET allows building applications that can run on any devices like desktops, Smartphones and tablets, and on any operating system. This allows the developers to re-use many of the same pieces of code to develop applications for a wide range of platforms. It also facilitates easy maintenance with the simple modification of configuration settings that eliminates the need to re-write the code. This reduces development time and offers quicker time-to-market and ROI. Also, the built-in checks and balances ensure a hassle-free development process. To reinforce its commitment to cross-platform developer experiences, last year, Microsoft open sourced the full server-side .NET stack and made it compatible to run on the Linux and Mac OS platforms. What it means to the developer? They not only get round-the-clock support from Microsoft for their .NET applications and but will be backed by a dedicated community of developers, along with detailed documentations and support forums. Our goal with this special edition on .NET technologies is to make the market more understandable, and evaluate the strengths and weakness of multiple technology and service offerings that are built to meet specific enterprise needs. Also our editorial team has evaluated several of solution and service providers to present you the 20 Most Promising Dot NET Solution Providers.
