.NET is a free, open-source development framework created by Microsoft, used for building cross-platform applications — from web and mobile to cloud and desktop.
With support for C#, F#, and Visual Basic, .NET enables strong type safety, high performance, and robust architecture. It’s often used in enterprise-grade systems, fintech, healthcare, and large-scale internal platforms.
.NET Core (now just .NET) allows for cross-platform development, containerization with Docker, and integration with Azure services — making it a strong option for cloud-native and microservice-based applications.
