<h2>[WHAT]</h2>
<ol>
<li>]&nbsp;.net is a programming framework from microsoft for creating programs(applications) that will run on&nbsp;microsoft operating systems. The framework&nbsp;consists of many different components. Some of the main components include&nbsp;the .net&nbsp;framework class library(FCL), the core language runtime(CLR), multiple programming models(win32, WPF, silverlight, winRT),&nbsp;.and multiple .net language(s) and tools.</li>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">.net (update 2015)</h1>
<ol>
<li>] .net is a&nbsp;programming framework from microsoft <strong>(and open source contributors)</strong>&nbsp;for creating programs(applications) that will run on&nbsp;microsoft <strong>and other</strong> operating systems. The framework&nbsp;consists of many different components. Some of the main components include&nbsp;the <strong>.net&nbsp;framework class library(FCL)</strong>, the <strong>core language runtime(CLR)</strong>, multiple programming models(win32, WPF, silverlight, winRT),&nbsp;.and multiple .net programming language(s) and tools.</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>] msft developers will now be able to create <span style="text-decoration: underline;">.net applications</span>&nbsp;for the&nbsp;] <span style="text-decoration: underline;">OSX</span>&nbsp;and ] <span style="text-decoration: underline;">linux</span> desktop os&nbsp;platforms,</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] as well as for the ] <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>iOS</strong></span> and ] <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>android</strong></span> mobile platforms and</li>
<li>] and of course, for the new <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">windows universal app</span></strong> platform</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] more msft development is now being 'done in the open'</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] as opposed to being done&nbsp;behind closed doors, with no input from the user commonity</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] you (aka the msft developer community)&nbsp;can contribute to msft source code</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] open source code is on github,</li>
</ol></ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>[WHY]</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>]&nbsp;framework class library(FCL)</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>]&nbsp;a&nbsp;large collection(14K) of pre defined existing components that you can use to build your .net applications.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] core language runtime (CLR)</strong>&nbsp;</li>
<ol>
<li>] is one piece that enables the .net framework to support muliple different programming languages by having each language compile to an intermedidate language(IL) and the IL is then interprated by the CLR and converted to machine code, similar to how&nbsp;Java's Virtual Machines(JVM) work</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] programming models</strong> -</li>
<ol>
<li>] like WPF, window forms, silverlight, asp.net 4, asp.net 5, universal windows apps</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] dedicated tools</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] like the visual studio ide,</li>

<li>] platform that provides tools and and technologies you need to build Networked Applications as well as Distributed Web Services and Web Applications.</li>
<li>] The .Net Framework provides the necessary compile time and run-time foundation to build and run any language that conforms to the Common Language Specification (CLS).</li>
<li>] The main two components of .Net Framework are Common Language Runtime (CLR) and .Net Framework Class Library (FCL).</li>
<li>] The CLR is the runtime environment of the .Net Framework , that executes and manages all running code like a Virtual Machine.</li>
<li>] The FCL is a huge collection of language-independent and type-safe reusable classes. The FCL are arranged into a logical grouping according to their functionality and usability is called Namespaces.</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>] .NET Framework is a complete environment that allows developers to develop, run, and deploy the following applications:</li>
<li>] Console applications, ] Windows Forms applications, ] Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications, ] Web applications (ASP.NET applications) ] Web services ] Windows services ] Service-oriented applications using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) ] Workflow-enabled applications using Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)</li>
<li>] components include ...&nbsp;] .NET Framework Class Library&nbsp; ] Common Language Runtime&nbsp; ] Dynamic Language Runtimes (DLR) ] Application Domains&nbsp; ] Runtime Host&nbsp; ] Common Type System ] Metadata and Self-Describing Components ] Cross-Language Interoperability ] .NET Framework Security ] Profiling&nbsp; ] Side-by-Side Execution</li>
<li>] enables a developer to create sharable components to be used in distributed computing architecture. NET Framework supports the object-oriented programming model for multiple languages, such as Visual Basic, Visual C#, and Visual C++. .NET Framework supports multiple programming languages in a manner that allows language interoperability. This implies that each language can use the code written in some other language.</li>
