(1-10 of 10)Great framework if you have the tools to implement
- Multi-threading.
- Robust development.
- Linq.
- Object oriented development.
- Garbage collection.
- It's not lightweight.
- Needs special tools to execute.
- Quick deprecation of older versions.
- It has a large community of developers who are always contributing to it.
- It has great customer service.
- It is intuitive to use and makes it easy to create new projects.
- The pricing can be high depending on the project requirements.
- May require the installation of the entire framework to run.
- Sometimes has dependency issues with other software.
Awesome .NET
- Powerful IDE( Visual Studio)
- Developer Friendly
- C# Language
- Performance
- Stability of New Releases
- Licensing Cost
Enterprise Level Infrastructure
- Visual Studio is one of the best IDEs and .NET is the best framework to use with Visual Studio.
- There is a large network of support for the .NET framework.
- The .NET framework encompasses a very large area of the programming stack.
- The .NET framework is flexible and can be used for desktop applications or web development.
- Sometimes, the .NET framework overcomplicates simple things.
- The .NET framework is not the most popular framework and thus other frameworks may provide access to more tools and libraries.
- The .NET framework requires licensing.
.NET is the framework to solve all your problems
- Comes bundled with Visual Studio, which is one of the best and lightest IDEs in the market.
- Easy to learn, with a lot of online resources and open source codes to support.
- Heavily supported by Microsoft, and integrates well with Windows especially with network user authentication.
- Supports multiple languages and allows for easy cross-projects integration.
- .NET is heavily Microsoft Windows oriented, and while .NET core tried to resolve that with MacOS and Linux support, .NET Core is still waiting for wider adoption.
- While free for small projects, additional features for big projects can be a little expensive.
- Can be resource-heavy upon deployment. We continuously have our more senior staff optimize the code of our junior developers for performance. Other languages are a little bit more forgiving in comparison.
- Developing quick and clean solutions. The framework provides easy to use functions & libraries that can speed up the development time.
- Code can be easily repurposed from one project to another, as the language is very deeply rooted into Object-oriented programming.
The gold standard of development platforms
- .Net accelerates development by focusing on business features rather than low-level development.
- There is a very large and active community for support should you run into problems.
- The latest .NET core runs on linux servers, which can reduce hosting costs.
- .Net development using visual studio is better than any other development platform.
- UWP development using .NET can be challenging because there's a smaller community behind it.
- If you do very unique development in .NET, you may come across some very low-level bugs that extend beyond the development community.
- .Net Framework, .NET Core, and .NET standard can be confusing at times. The upcoming .NET 5 will hopefully clear this up.
.NET framework and .NET core are very well suited for backend services both in Azure and on-premise. Windows services function well and are easily deployed to local servers.
Adapt applications at the speed of business with .NET
We have started to create applications built on .NET Core, which gives us the flexibility to build applications that will run on any platform.
- The most helpful aspect of .NET is the large user community. I have on numerous occasions put out a question about a problem I was having and was helped by at least one .NET developer from the community.
- With .NET Core becoming more mature, it has helped us build our applications to be able to run on any platform without doing too much extra work. Our internal customers have not asked for this but we anticipate that they will and .NET Core allows us to be ready for that.
- As our applications develop over time and business needs change, .NET has proven that it remains stable for backwards compatibility.
- We've found that depending on the type of application that you're developing, resource usage can be high at times. This is something that we've needed to keep in mind especially during peak usage of our applications.
- We've found that dependency management can be an issue at times. This has messed up our builds once in a while.
- Better and real-world online examples of new methods and classes would be beneficial.
.NET Review for Experts
- Suitable for dynamic and complex processes.
- .NET is a great technology for cross-device app development.
- Managed code can be slower than native code.
- Future development is solely dependent on Microsoft.
.NET Review
1. Inventory Management
2. Quality Control
3. Safety and Security
4. Packaging optimization
5. Logistics and Supply Chain Optimization
We have used in all the areas for Global Operations, Spares etc. organizations for all day to day production floor support and shipment releases. We also used it for Product Life Cycle Management interface to perform Problem Report and Engineering Change Management business processes.
To achieve these .NET and HTML together were used to generate dynamic web pages smoothly.
Being an ideal server-side scripting technology, Asp.NET code first runs on Windows server before displaying on the web browser.
With the built-in configuration information, Asp.NET is easy to deploy.
The .NET Framework quickly gives an alert for memory leaks, unbounded loops, and other wrong behaviors, immediately killing them and restart them over again.
- Asp.NET features like early binding, JIT compilation, caching services and native optimization supports gives your application the high level of performance.
- All the Asp.NET applications are highly monitored and managed to help application available to handle requests.
- The best part of .NET Framework is it has its own built-in caching features.
- The content and the program logic are separated in the .NET Framework, thus reducing the program inconveniences.
- Offers great security with the built-in Windows authentication and per-application configuration.
- Limited object-relational (OR) support as it comes only with Entity Framework
- Does not come with multi platform support from Microsoft, and is not available right after installing Visual Studio
- The managed code can be slower than native code
- Involves a vendor lock-in, and future development is solely dependent on Microsoft
- Migrating applications to .NET can be expensive as involves whole lot of custom development
.NET is not suited in case of multi-platform requirement. There isn't support available from MS and isn't available straight after installing Visual Studio. If that is a criteria for your business case then consider a different platform.
Also .NET is very easy to reverse engineer. If you do not obfuscate your code, you may as well publish the source code.
The footprint of your application can be huge if it requires a version of .NET, which is not already on the computer and therefore has to be installed first.
.NET - The SKY is the LIMIT
- It allows the use of multiple languages. It has horizontal scalability.
- .NET creates a unified environment that allows developers to create programs in C++, Java or Virtual Basic. All tools and IDEs have been pre-tested and are easily available in the Microsoft Developer Network.
- UI best practices are more consistent.
- Language integration is seamless, as you can call methods from C# to VB .NET.
- You need to buy everything from Microsoft. The biggest con is that it is not free like Java. Migrating applications to .NET can be expensive.
- Does not come with multi-platform support from Microsoft, and is not available right after installing Visual Studio.
- Very much Windows OS dependent.
