1.1 .Net Framework - Overview
|
- Programming framework developed by Microsoft to ease development of Windows components.
- Makes code reuse and interoperability between languages much easier.
- Managed runtime environment, Common Language Runtime (CLR).
- With managed code it is much more difficult to write and deploy rogue or misbehaving applications.
- Code access security is a built in feature of the framework.
- New object oriented language C#. Visual Basic becomes a first class language with features (e.g. multi-threading) that previously were only available to C/C++ developers on the Windows platform.
- Uses new distributed application technologies (Web Services, .Net Remoting).
- COM and Automation can be left behind (Woo-Hoo!)
