What is .NET?

Hi, I’m Kishen Deemud. In this article, I will give you an introduction about .NET.


.NET Framework


The .NET Framework is a development platform developed by Microsoft for building apps for the web, Windows, Windows Phone, Windows Server, and Microsoft Azure. It consists of the common language runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework class library, which includes a broad range of functionality and support for many industry standards. It runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. The first version of .NET Framework was released on 13 February 2002.


.NET Core


.NET Core is an open-source, general-purpose development platform maintained by Microsoft and the .NET community on GitHub. It’s cross-platform (supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux) and can be used to build device, cloud, and IoT applications. .NET Core 1.0 was released on 27 June 2016.


.Net Standard


The .NET Standard is a formal specification of .NET APIs that are intended to be available on all .NET implementations. The motivation behind the .NET Standard is establishing greater uniformity in the .NET ecosystem. When Microsoft shipped .NET Core 1.0, they also introduced .NET Standard.



.NET Core Fundamentals


.NET Core has the following characteristics:

  • Cross-platform: Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems.

  • Consistent across architectures: Runs your code with the same behaviour on multiple architectures, including x64, x86, and ARM.

  • Command-line tools: Includes easy-to-use command-line tools that can be used for local development and in continuous-integration scenarios.

  • Flexible deployment: Can be included in your app or installed side-by-side user- or machine-wide. Can be used with Docker containers.

  • Compatible: .NET Core is compatible with .NET Framework, Xamarin and Mono, via .NET Standard.

  • Open source: The .NET Core platform is open source, using MIT and Apache 2 licenses. .NET Core is a .NET Foundation project.

  • Supported by Microsoft: .NET Core is supported by Microsoft, per .NET Core Support.


The following figure illustrates the components of .NET Core:



As you can see above, .NET Core includes .NET Compiler platform Roslyn, .NET Core runtime CoreCLR, .NET Core framework CoreFX and ASP.NET Core. (ASP.NET Core is a part of .NET Core SDK so you don’t need to install ASP.NET Core separately.)


So I hope you understand my explanation about .NET. Thank you!

Hi, I’m Kishen Deemud. In this article I will give you an introduction about most important react libraries. React Material UI First one is React Material UI. What it gives is a set of components that's styled after google's material design. The upside to using this library is that it greatly speeds up the development. You get a solid base that's been around since 2014. And you get consistent load that people know and trust. You can install it using npm install @material-ui/core And also you need to include link tags to use the font or font icons. If you want to use SVG icons, you would also use npm install @material-ui/icons Using these components is a very straightforward, you import the component that you need into your code and use it in your jsx definition, and can change it's properties suit your needs. So this library is very easy to use. You can speed up your development. And it's great for things like building and mvp really quickly. https://material-ui.com

What is Docker?

Hi, I’m Kishen Deemud. In this article I will give you an introduction about Docker. Docker is a platform for building, running and shipping applications in a consistent manner. So if your application works on your development machine, it can run and function the same way on other machines. If you have been developing software for a while you've probably come across this situation where your application works on your development machine but doesn't somewhere else. Can you think of the reasons why this happens.  This can happen if one or more files are not included as part of your deployment, so your application is not completely deployed. It's missing something. This can also happen if the target machine is running a different version of some software that your application needs. Let's say your application needs node version 14, but the target machine is running node version 9. This can also happen if the configuration settings, like environment variables are different
