Active Server Pages Network Enabled Technologies or ASP.NET, a subset of the .NET Framework, is an open-source, cross-platform software framework designed for web development that can run on different operating systems.
ASP.NET Technology constitutes tools, programming languages, and libraries that can be used to build a variety of interactive, dynamic, and sophisticated websites, web services, and web applications.
♦ Today, over 25% of web applications are developed in ASP.NET.
♦ ASP.NET (14.9%) & ASP.NET Core(18.59%) is used by a total of 33.49% developers worldwide in 2022. (Source: Statista)
♦ Nearly 12823 companies reportedly use ASP.NET in their tech stacks. (Source: Stackshare)
Competenza Innovare Develops Different Types of Software/Apps
Web Applications:
A web application is a type of application program that works on the concept of the browser interface. It is located on a remote surface and is delivered over the internet. Web applications can be used by anyone and everyone, from an individual to the whole organization. They are usually written in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript, HTML 5.
SaaS/Xaas:
These are the models of infrastructure. SaaS stands for Software as a service while Xaas stands for Anything as a service. With the help of cloud computing and remote access, everything can now be a service. The term encompasses a wide variety of tools, games, apps, etc., that are delivered to your device via the cloud.
Cloud applications:
Cloud apps are software programs located in a cloud environment instead of a local server. Cloud applications are accessed by users through the internet via browser. Some great examples of cloud-based applications are Microsoft Office 365, Zoom, Slack, DropBox etc.
IoT applications:
Internet of Things (IoT) applications is a network of physical objects embedded with software and sensors to connect and exchange data with various devices over the internet.
Access to low-cost, low-power sensor technology, cloud computing platforms, and conversational artificial intelligence (AI) has made creation of IoT platforms a lot easier.
APIs:
Application Programming Interface develops a connection between computers/ computer programs. It helps to integrate new elements into the application without hindering the already developed structure.
APIs are highly beneficial for business organizations because they help to reach a wide spectrum of customers.
Databases:
A database, controlled by Database Management System (DBMS) is a collection of organized and structured data stored in the computer system. Small databases can be easily stored on a file system, while cloud storage opts for large databases.
Cross-platform apps With Xamarin:
With cross-platform platforms, libraries and frameworks, Xamarin enables the developers to share codes across all .NET applications. Xamarin helps in developing applications for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, etc. Xamarin’s port consists of data types, garbage collection, generics, language-integrated query (LINQ), asynchronous programming patterns, etc.
Embedded systems:
When performing a dedicated task is the need, the embedded system is used. It is a microprocessor-based computer hardware system. These are of 4 kinds:
♦ Stand-alone embedded systems.
♦ Real-time embedded systems.
♦ Networked embedded systems.
♦ Mobile embedded systems.
It can be an independent system or a part of the larger system.
Why You Should Take Benefit from ASP.NET?
ASP.NET provides several benefits when it comes to creating and developing enterprise applications for businesses. These are listed below:
1. Maximum Assurance of Security
The ASP.NET technology is secure and provides in-built multi-factor layered protection and external authentication with Microsoft’s ‘Authorization, Authentication, Integrity and Confidentiality’ System. ASP.NET-based applications are protected against cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
2. Run on all operating systems
ASP.NET Core is an open-source & cross-platform technology. Applications built on this technology run on all operating systems- macOS, Linux, and Windows.
3. High Performance
Performance is the key focus of ASP.NET Core. As per TechEmpower benchmarks, applications built on ASP.NET are faster than other popular web frameworks.
4. Easy to build big applications with Model-View-Controller (MVC)
ASP.NET MVC offers a pattern-based framework, i.e., it has shareable base libraries for common web patterns which can be customized to suit the needs of the application, it’s multifaceted variables/functionalities notwithstanding.
With myriad features to compile Single-Page Applications (SPAs) that address separate concerns, MVC is the choicest option for record-specific sectors, eCommerce web development in large and medium-sized organizations, detail-oriented industries such as Online Banking, etc. There is neither limitation on size or type of project, nor restriction with regard to the degree of complexity of applications; varying levels ranging from the simplest to the most complex of applications can be created with its latest features.
5. Easy to use and maintain
With simplified API, reusable codes and components, use of OOP languages, and native optimization support, this open-source platform comprises a class library that can effectively integrate databases; hence, there is considerable ease of use. The base framework is uncomplicated for processing web requests.
6. Cloud Support
There is cloud-based application development support and ASP.NET can be hosted on all major cloud platforms, for instance, Azure. This debugs production, monitors performance, scales, and quickens and simplifies the process of development.
7. Easy enhancement without updating the entire application
By leveraging ASP.NET technology, businesses can build microservices using docker containers. Microservices help in enhancing a product of a business in a cost-effective way. .NET microservices can be blended with multiple programming languages such as Node.js, Java, Go, and many more.
8. Go-to-choice for data-oriented applications
Entity Framework (EF) Core is a part of the .NET framework. It is an open-source and cross-platform version of the Entity Framework data access technology. With EF, businesses can seamlessly build and maintain data-driven applications.
Entity Framework Core can access lots of databases via plug-in libraries. ASP.NET technology supports a plethora of database engines such as SQL Server, PostgreSQL, DB2, MongoDB, Redis, Azure, and lots more.
9. ASP.NET can be used to build different kinds of scalable applications
ASP.NET allows enterprises to build various types of applications such as ERP solutions, content management solutions, Web API development, SSRS report development, Windows form app development, dynamic websites, and lots more.
Aside from reliability and feature-rich scope, the fact that ASP.NET is completely free and comes with no hidden costs adds another feather to Microsoft’s cap, thus spreading cheer amongst customers and businesses worldwide.
