1. What is ".NET" ?

.NET is a software development platform developed by Microsoft that can be used to build and run software applications on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS and Linux. The .NET platform provides a powerful and flexible programming environment that allows developers to create applications from desktop apps to web apps and web services.

.NET includes a range of technologies and tools, including the main programming language C# (C Sharp), the .NET Framework (.NET Framework and .NET Core), ASP.NET (for developing web apps), Entity Framework (for working with databases), and many other technologies.

With .NET, developers can build robust, secure and flexible applications, and reuse source code and libraries across different projects. This helps reduce development time and costs, while providing a solid foundation for building business and web apps and services.

2. What a .NET Developer need to know?

• Web API - For building RESTful web services and APIs.

• Entity Framework - Provides an object-relational mapping framework for .NET. Developers interact with data through entity classes rather than writing raw SQL queries.
