.NET Reviews & Insights

We use .NET as our main framework for back-end development. We use it to develop APIs and other things related to it. We have many different tools that all the portfolio companies use, and maintaining all of them is hard when they're not in the same scope or platform. We use .NET and its powerful tools in enterprise-level of development because it gives us the tools and direction needed to work with robust back-end solutions. With .NET Core, we can deploy in Linux environments and save in hosting. Really robust tool, solves our back-end problems.

.NET is very strong with any calculation heavy, communications over the wire, and back-end solutions, such as microservices or API development. We can quickly implement an API with secure authentication methods in just a few minutes. We can quickly implement multiple instances of the deployed application having a lot more strength and capacity. Unfortunately, .NET is not the strongest in the front-end development on the web, but with its strong MVC model, you can still develop a great tool using all .NET.

We currently use .NET for our microservices and cloud initiatives across the enterprise, but we have a multi-decade history with .NET, using it since the first beta in year 2000, and it was the platform for all our custom in-house software development of web-based and native Windows line of business applications. We selected .NET as our preferred platform for application development and designed and deployed an n-tier architecture for delivering web-based secure internet-accessible business applications based on .NET, ASP.NET, COM+, and SQL Server.

.NET is well suited for use in environments Windows is the primary platform for the development of a line of business applications. It is not well suited for data analytics or exploratory or experimental prototyping, as it gets in the way of getting ideas into code quickly due to static typing, complex class hierarchy, and admittedly extensive but barely useful documentation (that appears to be autogenerated rather than written with care).

.Net is our most widely used framework for building applications. Its ability to build applications for the web, desktop and even console/terminal-based apps makes it amazingly flexible. The C# language underpinning the framework is powerful and relatively easy to pick up. The frequent updates to the framework allow us to develop with the confidence that the necessary features and security updates will always be at the forefront. Microsoft's dedication to open source by open-sourcing .Net is a testament to the quality of code and products it seeks to support.

.Net is well suited for nearly any project you need. Thanks to the .Net Core CLI and Visual Studio / Visual Studio Code, you can get the initial scaffolding for any kind of project in seconds. The powerful debugging tools available allow you to work through problems easily. With a powerful language base, you can easily create reusable libraries that can span across web/mobile/desktop applications. If you're looking for a dynamically typed language or one with stronger multi-platform desktop support, then .Net might not be the best right now, but there are constant improvements being made.

We use .Net for many purposes for both our clients and our own purposes. Generally, we are hosting the .Net applications in AWS or MS Azure virtual servers or web apps. At times we have written .Net code for our clients and deployed it to their own server, to get behind their firewall and access their data. Most of the time we deploy it to our own servers and host it on behalf of our clients. Some of the projects are for custom data integrations or ETL, others are for a custom web portal or UI to work in conjunction with different databases.

.NET is used as the basis for most applications developed at my organisation. These applications are used across the entire organisation and some are publicly available. .NET was originally chosen as my organisation is traditionally a Microsoft shop and it seemed the logical choice. It provides an excellent foundation for our applications and is an extensive framework to use, allowing us to address all business problems with it.

.NET is well suited for any general purpose solution to a business problem, though if we are talking strictly the framework version - you have to be more or less tied to Microsoft Windows to run it. If this isn't a problem, then it will be able to address and solve any programming project you have.

.Net (Dot Net) is a platform which provides a wide range of methods and interfaces upon which to build quality software. It consists of two parts:
1. The end-user part which when installed enables software build upon it, to run on the computer. This comes preinstalled on most Windows platforms, but you still are highly advised to download and install needed security updates, as well as upgrades to newer versions (current version is 5).
2. The programmer's part, which comes as a package with the Visual Studio IDE, and enables the developer to build their program/app upon its platform.

It is very suited as a basis for programming in a variety of programming languages and on a variety of platforms. Starting from C, C++, via C# and HTML with CSS through to the modern languages such as Python. It supports platforms such as PC, tablet and smartphone as well as cloud, whether based on Microsoft, Linux, Android or iOS and more.

Net is one of the key framework used across the company that offers a range of programming languages starting from C++, C#, VB.Net, SQL Tools and helps in code joining.

Microsoft .NET is excellent for creating custom applications that can integrate between non custom applications.

.NET is used across my department, it is used for [mission-critical real-time applications], for the manufacturing. It supports other software that run[s] in Windows O.S. so .NET can access [the] very easily and natively to the OS features. I use it even for integrating different systems, accessing DB, exporting data through web API, rest, etc.

Useful for background application, console, server-side. If you already know JAVA the migration would be seamless. a must if used in [a] windows environment. the developing and releasing time is very good, integration with source control systems like GIT is native, if you do not have visual studio professional, visual studio code is free.

We are a consulting firm and use >net to implement solutions for our clients. .NET is flexible and powerful. We can [use] it to implement a wide variety of solutions and technologies to fit our [client's] needs.

.NET is excellent for building web services that can be used [cross-platform] and in the cloud. Especially great when trying to integrate with Azure.

Most of the applications we have build are web apps using Ruby on Rails, however when the need arises for a desktop application or utility, .NET is our go-to. When we need to automate data transfer to and from laboratory instruments and computer systems, we use .NET to build these out, either as a one-button utility or a GUI application using WPF.

If you need to build anything from a quick-and-dirty GUI utility to a full-fledged desktop application, .NET is the way to go. It doesn't require extensive knowledge of the languages as Visual Studio is extremely helpful in its autocomplete, refactoring, and prompts, and lets you build out your solution easily without worrying about the details of [the] setup and boilerplate.
