.NET
The .NET Framework is a development and execution environment that allows different programming languages & libraries to work together seamlessly to create Windows-based applications that are easier to build, manage, deploy, and integrate with other networked systemsThe fundamental idea behind the Microsoft .NET platform is a shift in focus from individual applications, Web sites, and devices to constellations of computers, devices and services that work together to deliver broader, richer solutions. People will have control over how, when, and what information is delivered to them. Computers, devices, and services will be able to collaborate and integrate with each other on a user’s behalf, and business will be able to offer their products and services to the right customers, at the right time, in the right way.
"We believe that .NET will take individual empowerment to a new level, create unprecedented opportunity for businesses, and spark a renewed wave of excitement about the Internet"
-Bill Gates
