What is.NET? Academic View A COMPONENT MODEL FOR THE INTERNET Multi-language, reliable and secure approach to building distributed systems for the Internet Provides the capability to integrate multiple devices Cross-language environment that is still simple to program and deploy Built around the tools and protocols (XML, WSDL, SOAP, HTTP) that are becoming standard on the Internet

What is.NET? Industry View Software that connects people, information and devices

Operating System Common Language Runtime (CLR) Inside the.NET Framework Base Framework Data and XML Web ServicesUser Interface VBC++C# ASP.NET J#Python… Secure, integrated class libraries Unifies programming models across languages Enables cross-language integration Factored for extensibility Designed for tools Secure, integrated class libraries Unifies programming models across languages Enables cross-language integration Factored for extensibility Designed for tools Common Language Runtime Executes code, maintains security, handles component “plumbing” and dependencies Common Language Runtime Executes code, maintains security, handles component “plumbing” and dependencies ASP.NET High-productivity environment for building and running Web services ASP.NET High-productivity environment for building and running Web services
