Microsoft.net Topics Continued  Why use Microsoft’s.net technology?  How can the Microsoft.net technology be applied to Software Engineering?  Conclusion  Web Resources

What is Microsoft.net?  Product Overview (From Microsoft)  Microsoft.NET is a comprehensive family of product built on industry and Internet standards that provide for each aspect of developing, managing, using and experiencing XML services.  Formal Definition .NET is a set of Microsoft software technologies that connect information, people, systems, and devices, generally via the Web.

What is Microsoft.net?  Formal Definition (Continued)  There are four categories into which Microsoft.NET technologies are included:  1. Smart Clients - Smart phones, PDAs, Smart Appliances  2. Web Services – UDDI, SOAP  3. Servers - NET Standard Server,.NET Web Server, Windows Server 2003  4. Development Tools – Visual studio.net, ASP.net, ADO.net  Microsoft.NET connects IT Professionals to a large variety of personalized.NET experiences, using industry standards and technologies in the.NET framework

What is the.Net Framework ?  The.Net framework is an integral Windows component that supports building and running applications and XML web services developed within the.net environment.  Net framework works much like the java J2EE .Net framework includes  Common Language Runtime (CLR)  Visual Studio.net .net Framework Classes (Class Libraries)  ASP.net  ADO.net  Support for up to 20 OO, Markup, and Scripting Languages

Common Language Runtime  The CLR provides a run-time environment that manages the execution of code and provides services.  Provides deep cross-language interoperability between programming languages and handles exceptions across languages.  Improves programs in Performance, Scalability, and Availability.

Visual Studio.NET  IDE that has a complete set of development tools for building desktop applications, ASP Web applications, XML web services, and mobile services.  An extension of Visual Studio 6.0, also contains J# and C#  Visual Studio 6.0 projects are easily upgraded to Visual Studio.net projects

Microsoft.Net Framework Classes  Microsoft.net framework provides an API for all programming languages included in.NET packages.  All libraries are Object-Oriented  Extensible libraries like the java API  Increases developer productivity by reducing the number of APIs to learn  Enables cross language inheritance and debugging  Allows creation of secure applications

ASP.NET  Provides libraries and services that allow the creation, deployment, and execution of Web Applications and Web Services. (gotdotnet.com)  Aids in creating Web Forms and GUIs using ASP.net makes building web applications easier.  Commonly used with ADO.net to interact with databases.

ADO.NET  Collection of classes that manage data to and from relational databases within the.net framework  ADO.NET has classes that enable programmers to connect and query a wide range of databases including: Oracle, Sybase, Informix, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Ingres, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Yard- SQL, mSQL, and all ODBC compatible databases.  Support for data access over HTTP

C#  New programming language introduced by Microsoft contained in its.net technology  Uses many of the best features of C++, Java, Visual Basic, and other OO languages.  Small learning curve from either C++ or Java  Some important features include:  All types in a C# program are now of type object  Millions of lines of C# code already available in.Net framework libraries  First Component oriented language in C/C++ family

Why use Microsoft.net?  Best reason is because of the Common Language Runtime (CLR)  Promotes deep cross-language interoperability, maintainability, and code portability  On-going support and improvements from Microsoft to the.net framework. (As long as you don’t have the academic version!) .Net architecture provides common libraries for all languages, so there is no need to learn many API’s  Smart Device Capabilities for products such as Cell Phones, PDA’s, and other various Microsoft products

Why use Microsoft.net? (Cont)  Designed and defined by Web Standards to solve internet / web development problems and build better solutions.  More adaptable and customizable GUI creation through ASP.net and Windows Forms.  Added security over web services and protocols.  A Standard for Database management through ADO.net, making the Database management process easier.

How is Microsoft.Net applicable to Software Engineering? .Net Supports the System Development and Software Evolution Stages  Development -> Design  Debugging -> Validation  Maintenance -> Evolution  Brings programmers together who have different programming backgrounds, which makes project management more flexible.  More quality, dependability, performance, and security in Web-Based applications.  Software portability promoted through CLR

Conclusion  Microsoft.NET is a new and innovative product that has a wide variety of uses. These range from interfaces for Smart Devices, to database management, to Language interoperability and other uses. .Net is a groundbreaking platform in the realm of web applications and web services.  Even though.net has a complicated infrastructure, it’s CLR and.net framework libraries promise to bring Software Engineers and IT professionals together under a common Standard

Microsoft.net resources – Microsoft’s info/support page for visual studio.net describes the new language included in.net, which is C# (called c sharp) Microsoft’s official site describing the.net frameworkhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/ – This site has.net resource pages with example code and tutorials on using all aspects of the.net framework. The site offers downloads, a special “student seciton” for new.net users and a personalized website for each users preferences Large source I found of.net source code on the net. All of the languages supported by Visual Studio.net are includedhttp://
