What is Dot
Net?
A highly admired
programming language released by Microsoft, Dot Net continues to sway the IT
industry ever since it’s beginning almost a decade ago. Simply put, here we
have a development framework that consists of multiple modules, serving in
creation Windows, Web as well as mobile applications. Dot Net programmers are
in high requirement and have supported a further surge over the past few years,
mainly due to the evolution of smartphones.
The Newest Trends
Let us now
take a look at some of the ubiquitous trends from around the world of Dot Net
programming and development.
Web API for
ASP.NET
Microsoft contemplates
upon Web API to be the future of all ASP.NET related development. The online
world is fast directed towards a REST-based, simpler and lightweight service
and this is further made achievable by the use of Asp.NET MVC and Web API. It
does not typically necessitate the heavy lifting that is commonly associated
with WCF. JQuery could be enforced for illustrating results in front end of the
pages as per documentation released by Microsoft.
DotNetNuke
With the focal
point of the software industry having deviated towards client side and web
services development, Microsoft decided to launch a hybrid model known as
DotNetNuke. This was done to facilitate developers to program using various
modern web techniques while given that sufficient compatibility to the existing
modules. It was later renamed as DNN EVOQ CONTENT which stands out as a powerful
and robust CMS tool.
Dot Net POS
POS or Point
Of Service was one region where.NET sternly lagged behind its competitors.
However, with the conclusion of Microsoft to release such a thing for.NET 1.14,
all this is set to vary. It is a class library that gives POS developers a prospect
to integrate the Dot Net technologies in their final products. With POS being
implemented, developing applications has become moderately uncomplicated. All
one has to do now is to provide an Application programming Interface (API) that
is built on apex of the existing.NET Framework class libraries.
Dot Net obtains
a New Portable Class Library
The
development team has received a new Portable Class Library that benefits in
application development from corner to corner a wide number of platforms.
Provision is also complete for sharing of libraries and code. Earlier to this
there was a license restriction that allowed PCL reference assemblies to be
used only on Windows-based systems. Nevertheless, with the recent release these
assemblies may be incorporated in all operating systems. This allows better
flexibility and freedom for the Dot Net programmers who can endeavor for
greater innovations in the future.
