What is .NET?
Microsoft .NET is one of the best ways to connect systems, information, and devices through Web services so people transfer information more effectively and securely.
Microsoft .NET Framework is the programming model developed by Microsoft for building, deploying, and running these Web-based applications, smart client applications, and XML Web services. It effectively manages much of the background 'plumbing', taking care of the connectivity and security.
