".NET is Microsoft's strategy for software that empowers people any time, any place, and on any device."

That one sentence is accurate but as a very high-level definition, it's ultimately unsatisfying. It doesn't really describe what .NET means for developers building solutions, for businesses trying to maintain profitability, or for consumers trying to work with the enormous amount of technology and information in their lives.

Introduction :
The goal of this course is to help application developers understand the Microsoft® .NET Framework. In addition to offering an overview of the .NET Framework and an introduction to key concepts and terminology, the course provides a series of labs, which introduce and explain .NET Framework features that are used to code, debug, tune, and deploy both Windows and Web applications
