Why is .Net considered helpful for robust app development?

Thanks to Microsoft, personal computers have become a common staple in the regular lives of all people. The various development platforms as well as software have brought on a technological revolution. ASP.NET framework is one of those creations that have managed to change the manner of software development. Application development has got a brand new approach through this which is a great server-side scripting tool. The amazing feature of .Net framework is that it is not just limited to ASP but developers have full freedom to use other programming languages as well. Some of the reasons for using .Net for robust app development are discussed here.

Decentralized components registration- When components are registered centrally, a lot of problems may arise which is reduced in .Net since the component registration is not done using Registry. Instead all information related to components is stored with the code, retrieving all the information directly from files during runtime. During instantiating of a new component, there is a scanning of application directory along with several predefined locations of the component. After locating the component, all related information is cached in case you need in the future. Through this the applications seldom interfere with each other.

Code execution side-by-side- The code can be executed side-by-side in .Net which helps in resolving of versioning problems. When multiple versions of some component is allowed to be installed as well as run simultaneously on one computer, an overwriting problem in shared component arises which can be solved by this feature. Thus there is no need for developers to look for backward compatibility since different versions of one shared component can be used by different applications. The dependencies between various software components and version can be specified by the developers.

Reduced marketing time- Through this framework existing applications, IT skills and developer skills can be leveraged by a business so that the infrastructure can be build faster. The runtime capabilities are deep which enables the transformation of existing apps into XML web services without the need of recompiling or rewriting.

Smooth application architecture- XML Web services act as native communication mechanism and agile app architecture is provided both externally as well as internally. This results in a simpler integration of applications across internet or intranet. Integration with applications, customers and even suppliers becomes easy.

Enhanced user experience- Individual users find the entire mobile computing experience to be enhanced and integrated. An assortment of computing hardware like smartphones, pocket PCs, laptops, etc can be used for data integration. Users can thus access information quite easily despite their location. Additionally, XCOPY can be used for installation of .Net applications. The files can be copied from a disk or remote web server on their computers for easy installation of desktop applications. In fact, the apps can be very easily replicated or removed; all you need to do is copy over the files or simply delete them.

Strong security- System administrators are given granular, powerful security control by this framework over apps which take a whole lot of load off the end users. Policies can be set by system administrators so that apps with particular origins or bearing Authenticode publisher signature or specific digital signature will be allowed access to some specific resources. Anything concerning system administrators that include environment variables, app directories, etc can be set with security policies. These security policies can be developed by using an easily usable MMC snap-in, .Net Framework Configuration Tool.

This next generation platform offers developers a lot of help for creation of web applications that are enterprise level. It offers a lot of tools that make the entire process of development of apps really simple; not to mention the security features that come in-built which does not need any additional concerns. In fact, it even has editor tool which might be used at a later stage of development, making it a much-loved framework to be used for robust app development.
