What Is .NET?
The .NET Framework is Microsoft's platform for building applications that have visually stunning user experiences, seamless and secure communication, and the ability to model a range of business processes. The .Net Framework consists of:
- Common Language Runtime – provides an abstraction layer over the operating system
- Base Class Libraries – pre-built code for common low-level programming tasks
- Development frameworks and technologies – reusable, customizable solutions for larger programming tasks
By providing you with a comprehensive and consistent programming model and a common set of APIs, the .NET Framework helps you to build applications that work the way you want, in the programming language you prefer, across software, services, and devices.
What Are Web Services?
If you ask a developer what web services are, you'll hear something like, "self-describing software modules, semantically encapsulating discrete functionality, wrapped in and accessible via standard Internet communication protocols like XML and SOAP."
They will also tell you that web Services are the building blocks for implementing a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).
But if you ask a business leader who has implemented web service-based solutions, you'll get a different kind of answer.
You'll hear that web services are an approach that helps the business connect with its customers, trading partners, and employees.
Web Services enable the business to extend existing services to new customers. They help the business work more efficiently with its partners and suppliers. They unlock information so it can flow to every employee who needs it. They reduce development time and expense for new projects.
You'll hear less about what web services are and more about what they enable the business to do.
Benefits of Web Services
By enabling applications to share data across different hardware platforms and operating systems, web services provide many benefits, including:
- Opening the door to new business opportunities by making it easy to connect with partners
- Delivering dramatically more personal, integrated experiences to users through the new breed of smart devices
- Saving time and money by cutting development time
- Increasing revenue streams by enabling businesses to easily make their own web services available to others
