Abstract
This chapter describes various components of the .NET platform. It introduces not only the concepts and their technology, but explains the terminology used to describe them. This enables one to have a strong understanding of the internal workings of the .NET platform. The precept behind the .NET platform is that the world of computing is changing from one of PCs connected to servers through networks such as the Internet, to one where all manner of smart devices, computers, and services work together to provide a richer user experience. The .NET platform is Microsoft's answer to the challenges this change will provide for software developers. Looking at the overall architecture, .NET consists of three primary components: .NET Framework, .NET products, and .NET services. The advantages offered by the .NET Framework include shorter development cycles (code reuse, fewer programming surprises, and support for multiple programming languages), easier deployment, fewer data type-related bugs due to integral type safety, reduced memory leaks, and, in general more scalable, reliable applications.
