Microsoft .net Framework

A framework is a collection of functions or more exactly an object with many pre developed routines to make development faster and easier. These individual functions can be customised and combined together to create cost effective software which is powerful.

The .net framework has support for Client Development, Web Development, Mobile application development and cloud computing.

Client Development

A client application typically is a desktop application which can be run from your start menu similar to internet explorer and outlook. These applications can interact with the internet services to expand the capabilities and provide powerful means to solve problems fast.

Web Development

If you have used online email or logged into a forum you have used an internet based application. The tasks of these applications can vary from fun online games to very serious business solutions.

Mobile Development

Most people have mobile phones and use them daily to communicate with friends and family, surf the web, get directions and play games. However, applications can be developed that do anything. A few examples of mobile development would be the twitter interface that allows you to tweet from your mobile or the facebook interface which allows you to keep up-to-date with online friends while you are on the move.
Consultation

If you have an application that fits into any of the categories above then you need to talk to a Microsoft .net software development company.  Depending on the size of your project and budget you may be best to deal with Microsoft gold certified developers who are vastly experienced and talented.
