.NET

1. .NET is a Microsoft web services strategy to connect information, people, systems, and devices through software, making it easier for users to share and use their information between multiple web sites, programs, and computers. In addition to being a web service, .NET is also a programming model that enables software developers the ability to do rapid application development by bundling a collection of software in on package. For example, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET is part of the .NET programming model.
