.Net Frameworks Architecture

                                                                           

.Net is not an Operating System. It is a IDE.

It provides some functionality for the programmers to build their solution in the most constructive and intellegent way ever.  Most of the codes in .Net environment resembles with the JAVA coding as if some people coming from Java would find it as to their native language.

 .NET is a Framework that loads into your operating system, which you need not to load in the later versions of windows like Windows 2003 server or Just a new release of Windows Vista. As it is going to be added as a component in the next generation of windows.

 Now, What is the .Net all about? Well, Its a framework that supports Common Language Runtime (CLR). As the name suggests, Common Language Runtime will be something that will run a native code for all the programming languages provided within the Architecture.

  Another feature of .net is language independence, to tell you about language Independence, .Net is not at all efficient in that. Just Microsoft built their own version of languages like C++, J# (for Java), C#, VB etc that can communicate between each other.

NEW things of .NET? well, during the last two years , Microsoft is constantly changing the .NET technology, that may not be good for a settled programmer. 

Well, first of all, in .NET 2003 Microsoft changed some features and also adds some new things. Well, new things are good, but changing the existing in such a quick succession is not at all good from programmers point of view. Again, in 2005, Microsoft publishes the new release of VISUAL STUDIO.NET 8.

Now, Microsoft is also increasing its scope.. One of the most important feature that is just now introduced is AJAX. Well, the name is what can be said as Asynchronous Java Script with XML.
