Building with Microsoft .NET
High Performance Applications –
Microsoft .NET is a software framework designed for building and running applications on multiple platforms and devices.
We love using .NET as it combines performance, versatility, and support to make it an enjoyable and effective choice for building applications, whether we’re building small hobby projects or large-scale enterprise applications.
Why We Love .NET
Wide Language Support
.NET supports multiple languages, including C#, F#, and Visual Basic (VB), providing the felxibility developers need and allows code reuse in mult-language projects.
Unified Ecosystem & Framework
With .NET 5 and later versions, Microsoft unified the .NET ecosystem. This allows developers to use a single framework for all platforms and application types.
High Performance and Scalability
.NET Core and .NET 5+ versions are optimised for performance. With low-level memory management .NET helps ensure efficient runtime performance for large-scale applications.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
.NET Core and .NET 5+ (including .NET 6 and .NET 7) are designed to be cross-platform, supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux. Ideal for applications running accross different operating systems.
Advanced Security Features
Built-in security features like authentication, authorization, cryptographic standards, and secure communication protocols help developers create safe applications.
The Benefits of Microsoft .NET
Scalability
As applications grow and become more complex, developers often struggle to maintain performance and scalability. .NET is designed to be scalable, allowing applications to handle increased traffic and data without sacrificing performance.
Security
Security is a concern for all applications, and developers need to prevent unauthorized access and malicious attacks. .NET provides built-in security features, such as code access security, that help protect applications from these threats.
Rapid Development
Building applications from scratch can be time-consuming, .NET provides a large class library that contains pre-built components, which can be used to accelerate application development, making it faster and more efficient.
Our .NET Projects
Rotherham NHS Trust
The SARS team were using a legacy system that no longer met their needs. They needed a new platform that could be easily upgraded and maintained.
