“Understanding the importance of the web industry, there are many web frameworks get born for technologies like PHP, ASP, JSP and RoR, etc.; but, all are not supposed to be as useful as ASP .NET and it is obvious. ASP .NET the flagship and most ambitious product from Microsoft has some inborn features and potential that makes it stand firmly in the industry without any bother. Moreover, the continuous enhancements have made it possible to rule the web industry for more than a decade by providing most accurate solution to each and every industry demand. Let’s find out few major advantages of using ASP .NET over other frameworks.”
Ease of use: This is the first thing that any web developer will consider! Ease of use means “minimal effort for maximum productivity”. Microsoft has made it possible with its highly organized and efficient core logic, i.e. residing within the framework. In fact, the user interface of ASP .NET framework is quite attractive and impressive. Components are placed at proper places that can be well navigated by the ASP .NET developer without spending more time for learning and getting acquainted with the framework. There are many small buttons embedded on the top of the framework that can help the developer in different proposes like debugging, indentation, testing and break-point analysis etc. With a single click, the ASP .NET developer can change the whole look of the programme with proper indentation and elimination of blank spaces or white spaces from the code. Similarly the framework enables the developer to analyse the flow of different arguments by setting break-point in the code and accordingly observing the effect of that segment of code. Though, these features are also available with other web frameworks in the industry, but the whole package that Microsoft provides is way better than its counterparts.
Modularity is highly emphasized: Over time and consistent focus to build highly optimised and efficient web application, the concept of modularity came into the picture before few years. Modularity is the degree to which application components can be separated or recombined. It enables different modules to work together for a common purpose of the application. It is highly influenced by the resource reusability and extensibility concepts. With the ASP .NET framework, web developers are highly encouraged to build large scale web applications with the new era “Agile methodology”. Agile methodology is something that enables an application to move on the production stage in a gradual manner without waiting for the whole product to be developed at the cost of more time and more investment. It makes the web application to start its productivity from the very beginning and over time, it gets larger and refined as per the response and demands of the users. ASP .NET enables its web developers to integrate different modules and plug-ins to enhance the effect of any website over time making the whole process an Agile style. The .NET developer can add more features to their application with integration of new modules and plug-ins without creating any inconsistency within the application and hence increasing the productivity of the web application.
Scalable application can be well handled with ASP .NET: Scalability is the capability of any framework to handle the increasing complexity of any web application. As we discussed before ASP .NET provides adequate room for the Agile methodology, it is obvious to find the application to be getting increased in size over time. Now, it is the duty of the framework to manage the increasing complexity of the application. How the different modules will act together for a common purpose? How the new plug-in or module will not impact the existing one? And how to handle both the code written by the developer and that of the third party resources without any conflict within the application are the major challenges for any framework. In this scenario, Microsoft’s ASP .NET framework stands above all other web frameworks due to its accurate design pattern developed by the core expert team of ASP .NET.
Customization at its par: In the challenging environment, it is really tough to make your web application stand ahead of the crowd; because all are competent and having a common focus to increase the footprints for their application. An expert ASP .NET developer is given enough scope to customise his web application with all modern amenities like event driven web page development, Asynchronous web page creation and highly interactive user-web communication, etc for any web application. The web developer can also take the benefit of modern scripting languages like HTML5, JQuery and CSS3 etc. to make the website even more gorgeous than others. It also enables the web developer to integrate third party reliable JQuery plug-ins for outstanding visual effects and attractive look n feel. Microsoft has not left any stone unturned, which can be easily understood from its latest version that is having in-built bootstrap library that enables the web developer in crafting awesome responsive web applications that can fit with any screen size.
Hassle free web application development for all types of needs: Unlike other frameworks that are having many limitations regarding the implementation of the application, i.e., specific to few domains or purposes, Microsoft has kept it absolutely open for any type of application that may be the requirement of the client. In fact, it enables the ASP .NET developer to design and develop cross platform compatible web applications for Windows and MAC operating system. Unlike any other web framework that are limited to specific web applications like blogging, content driven web application or e-commerce web application, an ASP .NET web developer can build all types of web applications as when required by the developer with utmost efficiency and optimisation.
MVC architecture with advanced features: Though, there are many web frameworks developed under MVC Architecture but Microsoft provides best in the industry framework Architecture to handle all types of complex situations without any hassle. In Microsoft, the MVC Architecture is redefined and reconfigured to provide the best in the industry standard model view controller based web framework.
Future ready: ASP .NET framework provides some unexpected features like cross platform smart app development environment; cross browser compatible web app development circumstances etc. that makes the .NET developer to create different type of applications for several platforms, including Android, iOS and Windows. It has inbuilt simulators available to realise the exact working of the web app during the development process so that the productivity of the smart app developer can be increased significantly. As a result, it makes the whole ecosystem, not only future ready but also user centric, which makes it the first choice in the industry over other web frameworks.

.Net platform enables web developers to build, deploy and run applications with a lot of ease, and we are cognizant of the benefits that come with the platform. It's structured, feature-rich frameworks ASP .Net WebForms and ASP .Net MVC further leverages the experience for developers to build compliant, easily-maintainable web applications. However, the question that arises is ASP .MVC functions more efficiently, or is better than .Net WebForms. If WebForms provide a conventional event-driven development model, MVC offers better controls. Listed below are some ‘worth to notice’ kind of differences between ASP .Net and ASP .Net MVC. Let’s have a look.
ASP .Net WebForms
The framework largely depends on the Page Controller pattern approach, this simply helps web developers have a layout. This integrated approach basically renders controller to each page (that is, code-behind profile that helps executes the request. As a result, the ASP .Net developer needs to take care of each and every tiny event of the application; which is not that great as a framework!
ASP .Net WebForms does not contain separation of concerns. This somehow brings limitations as an approach for WebForms, mainly because every page gets its individual controller. It creates unnecessary stuffs to be built over the pages making the overall process inefficient. In fact, there is always a chance of redundancy of the codes which is really bad.
This framework comes with a coupled behavior which in several ways makes it difficult for web developers to execute automated testing. The recent industry demands everything to be specific, to be neat and clean and this severely lack with ASP .Net. As a result, the post development process becomes tedious; including testing, maintaining and other activities.
ASP .Net employs Viewstate for accomplishing a stateful behavior. The framework is basically intended to render an experience that is alike some typical WinForm applications. But modern web developer needs the control for each and every View state which is hardly possible with traditional ASP .Net.
The output generated by WebForms is often not that clean, owing to the fact that at times large Viewstate signifies an increase in a page magnitude. Also, the WebForms framework pursues a Page Life cycle.
As a significant plus, the integrated support for good control library availability helps enhance productivity for web developers, allowing them to build reliable and well-maintained applications. It incorporates a Rapid Application Development approach. However, WebForms does not make a really great technology for web designers, primarily because designers prefer building their apps or working with HTML directly.
It provides good abstraction, but renders restricted control over JavaScript, HTML and CSS - which might be necessary under various web development situations. In present scenario, where the smart phones and tablets are considered as the most important devices for the purpose of browsing; then, event driven web pages are on high demand. Unfortunately, ASP .Net is not able to deliver that level of user demands.
WebForms are not open source; however it is productive as a framework for small scale applications that have a limited team size.
ASP .Net MVC
.Net MVC as a web framework is often considered more advanced and more functional than .Net WebForms. It employs a Front Controller approach - which basically implies that ASP .Net MVC features a common controller for all the pages, and for processing all the requests. It’s like an object oriented approach; where one object can control all similar events in a hassle free manner. That really makes sense when we are dealing with several view states having similar events. It decreases the coding time and effort drastically as against ASP .Net.
It comes embedded with a very clean separation of concerns. As a result, web developers are enabled to have neatly separated View and Controller features. Moreover, the immediate approach of a web developer becomes consistent and clear. This makes the development process systematic.
ASP .Net MVC has testability has one of its strongest advantages. The framework makes it easier for developers to carry out a detailed, test driven development of their web applications.
It does not contain any Viewstate, basically a stateless approach. However, it provides enormous power, and allows users to prevent any need for manual control binding. It even shuns away the possibilities of several errors relating to binding.
The framework matches the architecture of the web more precisely, more accurately. And since web development requires a great of AJAX nowadays, .Net MVC lends support to AJAX, and makes it simpler and more productive with JQuery. The web development process becomes faster and efficient with these techniques.
It brings forth a clean output, mainly because there is no support for Viewstate, and controller & view components are not dependent which is extremely reliable manner of handling different components in a systematic and effective way.
The framework model under the .Net platform features a very simple request cycle structure instead of complicated requests with ASP .Net that makes the developer confused and roam around the events and lose focus on the real credibility of the application.
Unlike WebForms, MVC models feel the need for comprehensive knowledge of JavaScript, HTML and CSS. However, web developers who rely on .net MVC can simply acquire a JQuery library, and embed that into their templates, making the whole process lot easier and quicker; because JQuery is well known as one of the most efficient micro frameworks of the industry. It helps the developer in performing all possible JavaScript functionalities with less code.
It provides complete control JS, CSS and HTML, and allows users to have multiple forms on a page. This however is not likely the case with WebForms.
ASP .Net MVC frameworks are highly favored for web developers who build large scale applications, and where significantly massive teams work together.
And, which one should you choose?
There is no doubt that both ASP .Net WebForms and ASP .Net MVC is productive and result-driven in their respective rooms, but the latter one is always a better choice for anyone who gets the opportunity to design an app right from the scratch. MVC models feature clean URLs and routes, allow users to do creative AJAX interactions, and provide good control over an entire app. However, the grid controls by WebForms are always amazing. So, according to us, depending upon the user’s web development needs, a suitable framework should be chosen.

“ASP .Net as an intuitive, open-source server side web framework has been enabling developers to create dynamic and interactive performance oriented web pages. The application framework, built on Common Language Runtime (CLR), lets users design web products that are rich, performance-oriented, and simple. However, security vulnerabilities in web development frameworks often complicate the whole procedure of designing a web application. While ASP .Net has given instances of efficient handling of cross-site scripting and SQL injection in recent times and make the industry to believe in its authenticity. Still we need to examine it for our sceptical psychology and it should be!”
To understand better whether ASP .Net is really safe or not, here’s a detailed insight:
1. The flagship web framework from Microsoft that lets ASP .Net developers build quality web applications provides an extremely safe approach. There are three distinctive ways for building standard web based apps – the Web Forms integrate an event-model and controls while ASP .Net Web Pages lend support to a singular page mode. This one helps in combining the HTML markup with code behind the screen. ASP .Net MVC understands the significance of division of concerns and allows users to experience simple test-driven development. The three parts i.e. Model, View and Controller helps in isolating the core logic section of application from the front end part i.e. View. In this process, the application becomes more stable and reliable and hence scalable one for improved performance. All these three techniques contribute, in a way, in building safe websites or web applications.
2. It enables developers to white list the request URL. Usually in ASP.Net web application development, there is an incredible potential of view state information to be leaked like UserId, Password and user details. These credentials are highly vulnerable because of their importance in any application. Well, it can be handled by the session() methods of ASP .Net; still there is chance of user data leak during the transportation through URL. Traditionally, those data were sent over the URL in a bare format which is absolutely inefficient and highly precarious for any web application. So, critical data is often at a high risk of security vulnerability and hence the framework allows ASP .Net Developers to white list the entire URL (which basically signifies disinfecting the URL). One can use a set of white listed characters from their data and remove the harmful ones for a secure connection over the server.
3. Visual Studio has significantly been enhanced by ASP .Net. As a result, numerous complexities are taken care of by ASP .Net and Two-Factor Authentication has made building an ASP .Net Web Forms application even safer. The added security factor actually allows developers to generate a unique Personal Identification Number while they log-in – which can further be used as an additional security, authentication measure when log into their application. The added advantage of multi tier security features can’t be ignored as well. With two or three stage security measures, the application becomes highly secure for the user to communicate with the server with their data.
4. While its two-factor security layer has somewhat been questioned for how it sends user’s credentials to the server in obvious text; ASP .Net provides another unique approach ‘Silverlight.’ Users can simply embed this on any sensitive page and have encryption of any submitted data. One can further benefit from ASP .Net’s advanced authentication methods – Password Hashing & the permission to guess credentials in order to avoid brute force attacks. The former advises developers to hash all their passwords and should they manage an authentication store; the latter lets developers have a casual holdup of a few seconds upon failed user login. This is considered as the most powerful technique of the industry to deal with security loopholes for any web applications. In fact, this technology is usually coupled with 32 bit or even 64 bit encryption technology (Encrypt- Decrypt- Encrypt) to make the process much more secure than the hacker’s expectations.
5. Data validation is another good aspect that helps ASP .Net look secure as a framework. Although it’d be wise to not rely completely on requesting validation as a way to protect an application from malicious threats, developers should validate user input and encode the output. This feature, in ASP .Net, helps users examine every single request and halt the request if any possible threat is detected. It is performed in the back end side to avoid unethical access from the users who tries to enter into your database with corrupt data by disabling the front end JavaScript on the browser.
6. Technically, ASP .Net is quite a safe open-source framework – make sure to always create new encryption keys and admin passwords (particularly, when migrating an application to a production phase). Users should also stay away from saving passwords straightaway or in any encrypted form. It’s advised to always store one-way hashed passwords and to never keep sensitive information like passwords in cookies.
7. At the same time, make sure to use parameters to avoid SQL Injection in the SQL queries (here, users are recommended to install URLScan on their IIS servers). This can be well avoided by highly efficient database query being used in the back end programming instead of skeptical things. The query must be of enterprise standard so as to avoid any such incidents. In fact, if it is not taken cared properly by the web developer, the hacker may take over your admin in no time and control the whole web application from anywhere. Fortunately ASP .Net provides adequate support to avoid these types of attacks from hackers by avoiding SQLInjection from the application. Also, Microsoft’s Developer Highway Code emerges to be a significant contribution towards making ASP .Net a secure web app development framework.
In a nutshell, ASP .Net is a very useful web application framework that allows web developers to develop dynamic web pages. However, by following certain security measures as mentioned above, ASP .Net developers may well prevent security vulnerabilities to their websites and web applications. So, it is not the task of the framework; in fact the developer needs to be highly sensitive while dealing with user’s data. Undoubtedly ASP .Net is efficient enough in crafting enterprise standard secure web solutions; but we must understand that “No framework is perfect; it only provides support and facilities to the developer in building highly secure environment for their application; at the end of day, the developer needs to execute those documentation or tricks to avoid such vulnerabilities”.

“ASP .Net the flagship product from Microsoft has been ruling the Web industry since its inception; undoubtedly it has tremendous power and potential within itself that has been mesmerizing the IT industry. But with the introduction of latest ASP .Net 5, it has proved not only its potential again but also openness as well. Let’s check out few new features of ASP .Net you should be aware of.”
No more Web forms an no more compile: Yes, it’s true that the latest ASP .Net 5 does not have any web form concept as before. In fact, it is refined and implemented within the MVC pattern itself. With MVC, the ASP .Net developer will get many added features and advantages. With MVC, the developer can keep the logic section absolutely isolated from that of the View part i.e. HTML. Along with that, MVC architecture enables web developers in building quick web solutions that are highly optimized and efficient in less time; this is because of presence of large number of libraries, modules etc along with ability to integrate other plug-ins and modules as when required by the application. Hence the developer need not to bother about the absence of Web form; because it’s advanced version is there inside. Again, the latest ASP .Net 5 does not require more effort and time from the developer since you can directly change the code and see its effect in a hassle free manner without need of iterative compile and run commands that are truly frustrating.
Cross platform compatible: The latest ASP .Net 5 has showcased Microsoft’s openness. The Microsoft recognised in the industry for its monopoly has changed its strategy. Now, with ASP .Net 5 it enables web developers in building quality smart apps for different platforms like iOS, Android, Windows or even OS X. So cross platform web development became easier than before. Develop any web application and ASP .Net will warn you if your application will look or behave differently in any other platform other than Windows. This is simply awesome.
Support for HTML5: HTML5 is gaining overnight popularity in the web industry,. Almost every web framework supports HTML5 along with CSS3 for interactive and attractive web application development. ASP .Net 5 supports all the form tags of HTML5 and hence making it compliance with HTML5 for developing modern web applications. With HTML5 an ASP .Net developer can build light weight yet highly graphics intensive web pages without much hassle. The canvas and SVG element of HTML5 can serve the graphics requirement of any modern web apps with less effort and more accuracy. The local storage of HTML5 will definitely help you in creating highly optimized web applications for the industry. Now, you need not to run behind the header, footer issues while dealing with cross platform compatibility rather it can be well taken cared by HTML5 itself. Different web APIs will also serve like a charm for your web application development process.
Integrated twitter bootstrap: Twitter bootstrap one of the most tested and successful micro framework can be integrated with ASP .Net 5 without any hassle. In fact, it is already preinstalled for the ASP .Net environment. With twitter bootstrap, both the jobs of a CSS developers and JavaScript developers will become funny. Because it contains many inbuilt .css and .js file having numerous functionalities associated with them. With twitter bootstrap, many layout related issues get fixed automatically. Moreover, the column system of bootstrap enables web developers in building quick web apps that are not only accurate but also responsive. Yes, the application developed in bootstrap is absolutely responsive!!
Inbuilt simulator for smart app developer: Simulator is something that is necessity for a web developer while testing whether his application is cross platform compatible or not. Moreover, it ensures how his web app will look in different screen sizes like iPhone, iPad, windows or android OS. Since ASP.Net development platform provides support for cross platform web development. So, ASP .Net 5 developers will need these tools for accurate production of the web app from the platform. Fortunately, ASP .Net 5 enables the web developers to take the advantages of inbuilt simulators for different smart app development. Now you can inspect your app from within the platform without depending on any third party simulator. You can also test the behaviour of your web app in different orientations and how CSS files and HTML contents get rendered into the browser. This is really a big addition for the framework.
Cloud integration is hassle free with Azure: Cloud technology is a next generation technology for storing data in virtual place i.e. Cloud instead of any need for hardware devices like floppy disk, hard disk or memory devices etc. With time, the multimedia files are increasing their size from few bytes to MBs and now TBs look smaller. Considering this fact, Virtual memory is gaining popularity in the industry. Though Cloud technology is at its infant stage, still experts can clearly visualize a brighter future ahead. Amazon, Google, Apple etc. are top players of Cloud storage service. This time, Microsoft's Azure service has been integrated with its flagship product i.e. ASP .Net to encourage ASP web developers in building web services having capabilities to take the advantage of Cloud service. With Azure cloud service, a user's data can be stored in cloud through the ASP application. It definitely improves the quality of user experience to next level and enables the industry to run on the path for future with more confidence.
Future ready with more support for responsive design: With smart devices being an integral part of our everyday lives, it becomes essential to build web applications that can be well viewable from those devices without any glitch. Responsive design is the process through which we can impart similar user experience irrespective of platform and device screen resolution. With the latest ASP .Net, it encourages web developers to build highly efficient and responsive web applications on the fly. HTMl5 a modern era HTML language can be of extreme useful when developing a responsive web application for our user. With SVG, canvas we can build robust yet light weight graphics for smart browsers. ASP Web developers can develop games that are highly compressed with the use of canvas for the smart phones. ASP .Net with other micro frameworks can enable web developers in building industry standard responsive web applications on the fly.
Better support as usual from Microsoft: If something is related to Microsoft, then the user forgets about the quality of service (QOS); because, this is always at its par. Imagine ASP .Net one of the most ambitious project of Microsoft when being used by developers; just think about the standard and quality of support from Microsoft. It is simply outstanding!!

ASP .Net is the flagship product from Microsoft having an excellent track record. With time, technology depreciates and we can’t find a single technology that has ruled the whole history of IT industry. This is because nothing is perfect in the world and everything comes with some disadvantage. Though ASP .Net is a magnificent piece but it has few limitations that make it second choice in many circumstances. We have seen many ASP .Net developers transitioning to work in Python due to its unmatched quality and reliability. Well, learning a better technology is always welcomed in IT industry and so the case for Python as well. In this topic, we will discuss few factors that trigger ASP.Net developers to learn Python in order to serve the industry in a better manner.
Python is more powerful than ASP .Net: Python is well recognised in the industry as a powerful technology. The huge inbuilt resources make it so efficient that it will return extraordinary millage to the end product. The inbuilt resources are highly optimised and compatible enough to create high speed software applications. No matter which size of application you are going to develop, we can simply rely on Python.
Python is more popular than ASP .Net: Well Python is an old language and was in a dormant stage for more than a decade. With Google’s ambitious project i.e., unladen swallow, it gained not only performance but also popularity in the industry. A recent survey has revealed that the popularity of Python is higher than that of all time enterprise leader java. In that survey the number of entries for Python was simply beyond everyone’s imagination. This indicates the true popularity of Python in the industry and this is possible only due to the performance and reliability of this technology.
Python can handle any type of application: If you are an ASP. Net developer you must admit that your capability is limited within the web domain. On the contrary, Python has no such limit rather it can be used for a wide range of domains. Python can be used for desktop application development, hardware programming, game development and web development etc. Hence you have the option to work in any domain as per the requirement and wish. The best part is due to availability of extensive resources, the output of Python is always outstanding. Hence ASP .Net developers should also learn Python in order to serve the industry in a better manner.
Productivity will be more and cost of maintenance will be reduced: Python developers usually write less code as compared to asp .net developers. This is because of presence of a large number of inbuilt functions and classes within the technology that will definitely lessen the effort of the Python developer to a large extent. Hence, the time of development will also reduce and so the productivity will increase. Moreover Python encourages developers to write better readable and maintainable codes. This will definitely help in debugging the application in future and hence the maintenance cost of the project will decrease.
At Mindfire Solutions, we have dedicated teams of ASP.Net programmers and Python programmers who have been passionate about their respective technologies and have been catering to our esteemed clients’ technological needs since years. If you have any custom applicaton development needs in ASP.Net or Python or both: you can get in touch with us and we will revert back within one business day.
Why ASP .Net? A web developer understands the importance of a framework. Framework is something that helps in quick development process without compromising on quality of the end product. In fact, frameworks provide enough scope for the developer to take the advantage of modern features and industry standard security features in their application. Well ASP .Net is a web framework from Microsoft for .net developers. We all know the quality that Microsoft provides to the industry through its various outstanding products from its inception. ASP .Net is yet another wing to Microsoft’s success list. It provides adequate scope to ASP .Net developer in developing enterprising standard web applications in less time and effort. Today we will discuss few must know best practices of ASP .Net that can help any web developer in developing brilliant web application.
Naming convention is the first thing to consider: The best practices list starts with naming convention. This is the most important and basic thing that a developer must adopt. It makes him developing professional codes on ASP .Net platform. An ASP .Net developer must use an uniform naming convention for different components of a web programme like data type, class name, variable name, method name etc. He must prepare a document for the same so that he can follow it throughout the development process. Moreover when a new developer is projected to the development process, he can write the same professional codes on the IDE. It will definitely help in preparing well readable and maintainable code.
Proper Validation check: After naming convention, validation comes to the list. While an ASP .Net developer dealing with a web development project he usually finds many forms and fields in the application. These fields should be properly validated by the developer so that we can enter only correct data to the data base from the user interface. For example if there is a field for mobile number then we must check for only numeric value in the field. Along with that we should also check the number of numeric data entered into the field. Moreover we should also validate the field in backend programming. This is because to avoid any unethical access from hackers who can disable java script on the frontend.
Use of cache for performance: An ASP .Net developer should be aware of cache management. Cache memory is something that keeps some important user data like session value and few other important data so that the user can be given an improved user experience. On the other hand it also helps in avoiding unnecessary communication with the server making the application optimised.
Top level Security standards to be adopted: Security matters a lot in today’s life. We must ensure that our user is under a secure environment and his data can’t be accessed by anyone else. For the same ASP .Net developers can use 128 bit encryption technology for secure database connection. Moreover they can also implement multi tier security measures in the application for better security.
Adopt master page concept for professional look n feel: This is a new generation concept and we should adopt it. Through master page, a web application can get a uniform and professional look throughout the pages i.e., all the pages look similar and professional to the end user.

e-Commerce is the next generation enterprise: In past couple of years we have seen a sudden growth of e-commerce websites in the industry. Particularly in developing countries like India and China this trend has been spreading like a wild fire. Very small e-commerce platforms have been converted into multibillion turn over farm in a very less span of time mostly within three to five years. Experts have already predicted even bigger and brighter future ahead for these e-commerce applications. This is possible because of the door step service of quality materials at a very affordable price to the customer. The elimination of all mediators from the supply chain management, these e-commerce portals are able to provide quality products and services directly from manufacturer to the end user at an affordable price. Considering its future potential, e-commerce web applications are treated as next generation mega mart for the industry.
ASP .Net can build above all industry standard e-commerce application: When we are considering e-commerce applications, the first thing that strikes to our mind is none other than web development process. Though we can develop web applications in any language like PHP, JSP, ROR or Python etc, but ASP .Net has its unique presence in the industry in developing enterprise standard web applications in a much professional manner. ASP .net is a web framework having all the necessary and additional features to develop industry standard e-commerce portal. As a proficient ASP .Net developer, you must ensure high quality of user experience along with performance of your application to survive in the competitive IT industry. You must adopt all futuristic features so that you can end up with a beautiful output.
ASP .Net provides higher security for all your financial transactions over internet: An e-commerce website can’t be competed unless and until we integrate a third party payment get way to our application. Through these payment get ways, our customers can make online financial transactions with their banks or credit cards to purchase different items for our portal. Hence it becomes even more responsibility for us to provide better security for our customers so that all the financial information can be remain private through industry standard security measures. As a proficient ASP .Net developer, you must integrate 128 bit encryption technology for better security of our users. You can also adopt multi tier security features to avoid any type of loop holes.
ASP .Net developer can design your e-app for better user experience: Now a days, the popularity of smart phones and tablets are going up at an exponential rate. Users love to browse e-commerce apps from these devices for better user experience. Moreover these apps are also enables the user to use them at anytime from anywhere using mobile internets like 2G and 3G services. Fortunately an ASP .Net developer can design enterprise standard smart phone apps for your e-commerce portal without much hassle. You can also offer responsive e-commerce apps to fit into different devices and hence providing optimum user experience. If you are planning to hire asp.net developer, you must evaluate them to see if they are sufficiently agile or not!

21st century is highly influenced by mobile devices: Mobile devices were introduced with an aim to connect with each other through mobile calls and SMS before few decades. With time, the functionality and look and shape of mobile devices have been changed in a magical way. Now this devices are not just performs calling or sending sms but they are having a wide range of utility functions within these devices. Mobile phones are now transformed into smart phones because they are much smarter than before. Now these devices can be used for browsing internet, playing multimedia files, capturing wonderful moments of our life and playing graphics intensive games etc. As a result they have received a tremendous popularity from the users throughout the globe. The numbers of smart phones in the industry are growing in a much faster pace and beyond our expectations. Considering its popularity and global presence we can say 21st century is dominated by smart phones.
ASP .Net for mobile website design: Due to high population of mobile devices including smart phones, web developers are now trying to reach at every user through their website i.e., mobile friendly. This means in order to reach at more number of users the industry must have to adopt mobile web app development methodologies in 21st century. Well Microsoft’s flagship product i.e., asp .net, a web framework is also well equipped with various features and facilities to make the development process transform from ordinary websites to mobile web applications. It provides extensive and adequate supports to the .net developers in building responsive web applications for different screen sizes and mobile devices.
Responsive web design and fluidic design through ASP .Net platform: Though fluidic web design and responsive web design creates confusion among the web developers many times, but there is a thin separation line between them. Fluidic design refers to developing mobile websites with the help of percentage layouts i.e., it displays different components of website according to the screen size of the device. It allows the developer to fix the component’s size and shape as a reference of some percentage value of screen size of the device. On the other hand the latest asp .net developers can develop modern mobile websites in a responsive manner that takes the maximum help of different sensors of the device along with screen size to make the website look much more beautiful and professional than before. It allows the asp .net developers in checking the rotation of the device and accordingly changing the contents of the website to provide better user experience.
Take the help of modern web libraries for better output: Now asp.net developers can also take the help of modern and smart web libraries like JQuery, Twitter bootstrap and other plugins that can help them in developing enterprise standard responsive web applications. They can also adopt HTML5 and CSS3 in developing file attractive and interactive web applications for mobile devices. What is more? Web developers can also integrate futuristic features like cloud storage in order to provide enhanced user experience and improved performance for their web applications. If you are planning to hire asp.net developer, you must evaluate them to see if they are sufficiently agile or not!

In December 1996, Active Server Pages (ASP) was released by Microsoft as a server-side scripting engine for building dynamic and interactive web pages. In January 2002, Microsoft released version 1.0 of ASP.NET, along with .NET framework 1.0. Despite being promoted as the successor to ASP, ASP.NET was designed by Microsoft as an advanced server-side web application development framework for creating websites, internet applications, and web services. Further, Microsoft has been updating ASP.NET at regular intervals to make it complement the latest trends in web development. So there are several advanced features and functionalities that make ASP.NET completely different from, and far superior than classis ASP.
Major Differences between Classic ASP and ASP.NET
Platform Support: Microsoft introduced ASP on its own server, i.e., Internet Information Server (IIS). So the server side scripting technology was available only for Windows platform. ASP.NET was also released initially as part of the .NET Framework. So the web application development framework was running on platforms that support the .NET framework. But in 2014, Microsoft made ASP.NET available for Linux and Mac OS X, in addition to Windows. The web programmers can use the latest version of ASP.NET as a cross-platform and open source web development framework.
Language Supports: While using ASP, the programmers have option to write code in any of the two interpreted language, i.e., JScript or VBScript, The VBScript was the default scripting language for ASP, whereas JScript was the Microsoft’s version of JavaScript. On the other hand, the ASP.NET programmers have option to choose from a wide range of programming languages supported by the .NET framework, including C#, J#, and VB.NET.
Process Isolation: The ASP applications run under the inetinfo.exe process space of IIS. Thus, their performance will be impacted when IIS is restarted or stopped. On the other hand, ASP.NET uses a different worker process, i.e., aspnet_wp.exe, which is completely distinct from inetinfo.exe. Therefore, the process isolation keeps the performance of ASP.NET independent of other IIS working processes.
Server Based Controls: Unlike ASP, ASP.NET comes with a variety of server based components and controls. These server based components make it easier for web programmers to accomplish event driven processing at the server, and avoid writing lengthy code. For instance, ASP.NET developers have option to choose from three types of button controls, i.e., buttons, link buttons and image buttons. Likewise, they can also use basic ASP.NET controls like text, label, checkbox, radio button, and several types of list controls.
Used Technologies: ASP and ASP.NET also vary from each other due to technologies used by them. For instance, ASP.NET is designed with built-in support for XML, whereas ASP does not support XML by default. Likewise, ASP.NET uses ADO.NET to work with databases, but ASP used ADO for similar purposes. Also, ASP pages can have HTML and coding logic mixed. But ASP.NET uses code-behind files to keep the HTML and coding parts separate. The code-behind files further help programmers in hiding both code and sensitive information from end users.
Debugging Options: The interpreted model of classic ASP makes debugging both restricted and difficult. But ASP.NET is designed with advanced debugging features. The ASP.NET programmers also have option to use several debugging tools. As the page errors are generated as compiled errors, they can be easily identified at the time of compilation and much before the runtime. As both C# and VB.NET are strongly typed programming languages, it also becomes easier for developers to debug their code.
Quality and Performance of Code: As noted earlier, in ASP, the code is executed through an interpreter like VBScript or JScript. So each time an ASP page is requested, its text has to be processed linearly. Further, the programmers have to write lengthy blocks of server side code to replace the static HTML elements. But the ASP.NET pages can be easily compiled into .NET classes. The .NET classes, which are housed within assemblies, also include both static HTML and server-side script. So the ASP.NET page is compiled when it is being accesses for the first time. The pages will be rendered on subsequent requests through compiled code execution. So the speed and performance of ASP.NET pages is much better than that of ASP pages.
In late 2014, Microsoft completely revamped ASP.NET. In addition to making it open source, Microsoft also made ASP.NET available for non-Windows platforms like Linux and Mac OS X. ASP.NET 5 comes with a set of innovative features including a cross-platform runtime, cloud-ready environment configuration, and a modular HTTP request pipeline. ASP.NET 5 further includes a unified framework called MVC6 that includes Web Pages, MVC and Web API. If you are planning to hire asp .net development companies, you must evaluate them to see if they are sufficiently agile or not!

Since its initial release in 2002, ASP.NET has been updated by Microsoft at regular intervals. But Microsoft completely revamped the web framework in late 2014. In addition to making it open source, Microsoft further made it available for Mac OS X and Linux. The version 5 of ASP.NET also comes with several new features and enhancements to effectuate development of websites, mobile sites, internet applications, web services and web API. The new features also make ASP.NET one of the most demanded web frameworks in 2015.
Features that Make ASP.NET 5 One of the Most Demanded Web Frameworks
Three Runtimes: The developers have option to run ASP.NET 5 on three different runtimes, i.e., full .NET CLR, Core CLR, and Cross-Platform CLR. As the default runtime for Visual Studio projects, the full .NET CLR allows developers to use the entire API set, and maintain backward compatibility. As a cloud-optimized runtime, Core CLR enables programmers to build applications by including only the required features. The Cross-Platform CLR is the runtime for non-Windows platforms like Linux and Mac OS X. It enables developers to run ASP.NET applications on Mac and Linux devices.
A Unified Programming Framework: ASP.NET 5 comes with a unified programming model called MVC 6. The unified programming model makes it easier for developers to implement Web Pages, MVC and Web API together. The developers can now use MVC 6 to create application without reconciling three different programming frameworks. The unified programming framework further significantly reduces the duplication and inconsistencies.
Cloud Ready: While creating an ASP.NET 5 project, the developers have option to configure it to deploy to the cloud. Instead of using the web.config file, they can use the new environment configuration system provide by Visual Studio. The new environment configuration system can read values from XML, JSON, and environmental variables. So after deployment, the application can correctly read the value specified for each environment. The programmers can further use the diagnostic and tracing tools to identify and fix the issues associated with deploying an application in the cloud.
Host Agnostic: ASP.NET 5 comes with a new modular HTTP request pipeline that makes it host agnostic. The pipeline is optimized to effectuate deployment of the application on multiple platforms including Internet Information Services (IIS), Kestrel server, Open Web Interface for .Net (OWIN) based server, and self-hosted in a custom process. The ASP.NET 5 applications, however, do not talk directly to the web server. As feature interfaces like IApplicationBuilder are used to accomplish the host agnosticism, the applications can switch seamlessly from one host to another.
Dynamic Compilation: Visual Studio 2015 used Roslyn compiler to allow developers to take advantage of dynamic compilation. The feature enables programmers to see the impact of changes made to the code without rebuilding the project. They can simply modify the code, save the changes, and refresh the web browser to see code changes. In addition to using code editors, the developers can also switch from the interface to writing command line scripts and vice versa. The dynamic compilation feature further makes code writers more efficient and productive.
Supports Popular Web Development Tools: Visual Studio 2015 supports several widely used open source web development tools like Gulp, Grunt and Bower. These tools make it easier for developers to create ASP.NET 5 applications more quickly. For instance, Bower can be used as a package manager for CSS and JavaScript libraries. It allows users to add a JavaScript library directly to the ASP.NET project. On the other hand, Gulp and Grunt can be used a task runners to effectuate work flow automation.
No Need to Modify Existing Applications: Despite revamping ASP.NET completely, Microsoft does not require organizations to rewrite their existing applications. ASP.NET 5 does not require users to port or update their legacy applications. The new .NET framework fully supports the applications developed using Web Pages 3, Web Forms, MVC 5, SignalR 2 or Web API 2. However, the organizations can update their application to take advantages of the new features of ASP.NET 5.
Microsoft has made ASP.NET accessible to small and local businesses by making it open source. As a free web framework, ASP.NET 5 helps businesses in reducing project overheads. At the same time, its features help developers in curtailing the amount of time and efforts required for building modern applications. To get maximum benefits of .Net, you may consider hiring services of a asp.net development company.

ASP .Net – A true web framework from Microsoft: If we say Microsoft is the father of IT industry, it will not be an over statement at all. It had changed the face of IT industry with its flagship product i.e. Windows operating system. Windows operating system is the first graphical operating system and hence treated as a revolution in the IT industry. So there is always a tremendous respect and popularity of Microsoft in the industry. Anyway, now industry is flooded with different attractive and futuristic operating systems like iOS, Android and MAC etc.; still Microsoft has its strong presence in the industry with other products. The most important product of today’s time is its web framework i.e. ASP .Net. It is an efficient and effective web framework of the industry to develop ASP applications that are not only optimized but also of higher performance.
Web developers get adequate scope from ASP .Net for enterprise standard web solutions: As a framework, ASP .Net provides enough scope for the web developers in building quick web applications without compromising on the quality of the application.

Enterprise ASP .Net is always Enterprise class: The Asp .net framework is the one of the most successful product from Microsoft that was born in early 21st century. It was aimed to compete with all time industry leader java JSP to help the industry to come out from the java eco-system. Fortunately it succeeds in most of the targets. The industry come out from the capture of JSP and saw a brighter future ahead under the ASP .Net hood. Since it is highly inspired from JSP, we can expect a tremendous potential within this technology to serve the industry in a better way than before. Microsoft knows how to deal with the demands of the industry. With the enterprise ASP .Net framework, it proved the same again. It has not left any stone unturned during the development process of enterprise edition ASP .Net. It is power packed with all useful and modern amenities for the ASP .Net developers in building enterprise standard web applications in a very less span of time. Well though it helps the web developers in developing quick web applications, that doesn’t mean it compromise on quality rather it always gives maximum priority to the quality of the application from its inception.

Why we need migration? In technical world, migration means modification or improvement. So we take it in a positive way because it is always beneficial for the user as well as industry. In web industry there is always modifications and enhancements happens to meet the expectations of the industry. Tech experts strongly believe upon the migration process to give a new and improved look and feel to any application. Before a decade most of the web applications were developed in ASP. Those applications were not built on ASP .Net framework and hence they lack severely in terms of modern features, look and feel and efficiency. To avoid all these short comings, we should take a step ahead for migration process.
ASP to ASP .Net migration benefits: We have seen many ASP applications being transformed into ASP .Net framework to give modern look and feel to the website. Using ASP .Net framework an ASP .Net developer can take the advantage of the framework in optimising the website to a large extent along with performance boosting. Moreover it will give adequate room to the web developer in developing quick web applications i.e., not only efficient but also effective. It can change the user experience of the entire website with modern and futuristic features like interactive graphics, dynamic web contents and responsive web design etc. Though, it has many benefits as stated above, but it also having some draw backs from the developer’s point of view.
Code compatibility issues: This is the most tedious issue found in any migration process. During the migration from ASP to ASP .Net, the ASP developer will find many blocks of codes creating problems in the application. This is very common because when we migrate to a new platform, we must have to give some extra effort to make it fit into the new environment.
Plugin issue: Well when we migrate from ASP to ASP .Net we have to forget about those old plugins that were integrated to the ASP application. We should find a there up dated versions for the asp .net platform so that we can make our things work perfectly find. If an asp .net developer could not imagine this issue from the very beginning of the migration process then i would say his doing the most foolish job in the industry. So be prepared to deal with those incompatibility issues for the plugins of the application.
You may have to write some extra codes: During the migration process, an asp .net developer must mentally prepared to write some extra codes so as to make the application run smoothly on the new platform without any bugs and unexpected out puts. Most importantly the web developer may have to write the code on behalf of any incompatible plugin of the web application. Sometimes we may have to replace a plugin entirely from the application with our own code.
You may take chance through migration software, but you can’t rely on the same: There is much migration software available for asp to asp.net migration process. We can use any of them but we can’t rely on them because they may decrease our effort to a large extend but can’t eliminate it anyway. So it will be a foolish decision if we think of relying on those softwares. To get maximum benefits of .Net, you may consider hiring services of a custom .net development company.

While dealing with development of any application it is the responsibility of the software developer to keep the security features at the top level in order to get success for the application or product. It becomes even more essential when we deal with web applications like ASP web development projects; because there is a threat of unethical access of your website which may lead to lose the reputation of your application. To avoid this, as a web developer (ASP .net developer), you must take some necessary security measures to avoid all types of threads related to security.
SQL injection: This is the most common way of hackers to take the access of your database. They use to try to fetch the data from your database using various SQL queries. They usually insert these vulnerable queries into the database through different commands from the browser itself and try to get sensitive data of your application or of your user’s from the database. Though asp .net provides many security features to prevent SQL injection but it’s better to learn what SQL injection is and how it works; before you start programming your application.
Cross Site Scripting: This is yet another way of hacking your website using java script. A hacker can hack you user’s data using this technology. Moreover he can get all your cookies values from your browsers which will enable him to login using your credentials that he had hacked from your cookie and can perform any type of unethical work on behalf of you. You must take care of this issue very seriously because this is a sensitive topic from the developer’s point of view.
Proper Cookie implementation: While you are dealing with modern era web application development, as a asp .net developer you must ensure that you are using the users cookie in a very efficient and sensitive manner; because if these cookie value will be accessed by a hacker then that will definitely create a trouble for your users and hence it will impart a bad user experience for your user. So be careful while dealing with cookie in your application.
Use Session: It is a common development feature that every asp .net developer should take care of. Session is something that enables the user of your application to be in contact with your application through a continuous support from the database. It also enables him to feel like a privileged member of your application. It also isolates your user from others with session in the browser. The best part is it enables the user to access only his private data and hence it keeps other’s data invisible for him.
Server side validation: This is yet another way to prevent unnecessary unethical access of your application. A good ASP .Net web developer must validate all the form data in both front end as well as backend programming. This is because, if someone disables JavaScript on the browser, he can enter any value in the form to your database. So, to avoid this you must ensure your application to be quite secure with two tire security from both frontend and backend. To get maximum benefits of .Net, you may consider hiring services of a custom .net development company.

Microsoft- still the king of IT industry: Before three decades, it was Microsoft who dared to introduce an uncertain operating system in the industry i.e., windows; but it received a tremendous and stupendous response from the users from around the globe. Since then the industry respects Microsoft for its daring venture through windows operating system. On the other hand, Microsoft is also trying its best to give maximum care and service to the IT industry through different updates and upgrades of the operating system as well as many other products. It has been dominating the industry since its inception with its unmatched quality and reliability. Hence it is treated as the king of the IT industry even after decades.
ASP .Net a flagship product from Microsoft for better web development: In past century we have seen an overnight growth of web industry in a magical way. To cope with the situation, there are a lot of web domain specific technologies born in past few years like PHP, JSP, Python and ASP etc. ASP .net is a .net framework for asp developers. It is the flagship product from Microsoft to serve the web industry with more accuracy and efficiency to meet the expectations of the industry. Fortunately it performs outstanding for which it is aimed for.
It is highly inflammable now with advanced features: The latest ASP .net framework helps the ASP developers in building enterprise standard web solutions in less time and more efficiency. It is equipped with all modern features that enable the ASP .Net web developer in building futuristic web applications on the fly. The best part is its dual nature i.e. it can be used in developing large web applications like financial web solutions as well as small but efficient web apps for smart computer devices like smart phones and tablets.
You can develop modern web apps using ASP .Net: Well, we cannot ignore the importance of smart operating system in the industry like Android, iOS and windows 8.1. Recently, they have spread like virus. So, how can Microsoft spare them? The ASP .Net framework is well equipped with all modern features to enable you in developing quick web solutions for these platforms. It is providing simulators to test the look and feel of your web application in different platforms like windows 8.1 and android etc. It will definitely encourage ASP .Net developers to put their hands over the web apps for these platforms. Moreover, you can also develop native apps under ASP .Net hood. This makes it a perfect choice for highly motivated web developers of the industry.
It is reliable too: Well, anything related to Microsoft is itself fortunate; isn’t? So, if ASP .Net is an ambitious product from Microsoft, you can imagine an unexpected reliability from it. There are lots of super brains working behind for you to overcome any issue while dealing with complicated application development. Moreover, there are a lots of support communities available 24x7 on the web to help you out from any unfavourable situation within no time. So, you can rely on the service and support of Microsoft without any second thought. To get maximum benefits of .Net, you may consider hiring services of a asp.net application development company.

Micro Framework yet powerful: One can guess what vNext is, because it is associated with ASP .Net. Well, it may be either a library of ASP .Net or a new version of ASP .Net. Isn’t? Yes, it is a new version or we can say a modified isolated version of ASP .Net to develop modern web applications. It is considerably small and tiny than the full fledged ASP .Net framework. But, it owns all the essential features of ASP .Net along with few major improvements to help the ASP .Net developers in developing future web apps. It is a lightweight and efficient framework for dot Net developers to develop quick web applications. Even though it is tiny but it is having all the features of a fully fledged framework just like its sibling ASP .Net. So, we can say it is tiny Dynamite!!
Creates “Responsive web applications” for modern web browsers: In modern web applications, As a web developer, you can’t ignore the importance of Responsive web development for future handheld computers. We have seen a tremendous growth of handheld computer devices like smart phones and tablets to perform similar tasks as in a desktop PC. Hence, we can say the modern version of desktop PC is smartphones!! Again, due to its internet connectivity through mobile networks like 2G, 3G, 4G LTE or even WiFi, users love to browse internet from anywhere using these devices. So it is now essential for ASP .Net web developers to develop modern web apps for these devices and hence the concept of Responsive web design came into the game. Responsive web application is one which offers the same user experience and look and feel of a web application irrespective of platform, device and screen size or form factor. This is the talk of the web town now!! Fortunately, ASP .Net vNext is empowered with such features to develop enterprise standard responsive web applications.
Optimization matters more in resource constraint environment: Think you want to develop an application that needs just 5% components of a bulky framework like ASP .Net, and then is it wise to use that option!! Rather, web developer should consider a lightweight framework for this purpose; isn’t? Here comes the concept of Optimization i.e. you need an optimized version of ASP .Net which can handle your task efficiently and effectively just like that old heavy ASP .Net framework. This optimized version is none other than ASP .Net vNext!! So, Come On put your hands over this magnificent piece!!
Cloud technology on its core heart: The best part of vNext is it is future proof along with feature rich i.e. it has all the features to deal with the demands of future!! The best part is Cloud Computing!! ASP .Net web developers can use this feature in their application to build future oriented web applications which are not only efficient but also super fast and secure. The end user will jump in joy when he finds this feature in his smart phone app which is having terrific memory issue!!
Ready to meet the expectation of modern mobile users: If a framework is having all modern amenities like Cloud technology, HTML5, CSS3 and Dynamic JavaScript etc that too in a tiny package without compromising on the quality; then it will definitely get honour from the industry and so from web developers; because all these modern features enables them to develop enterprise standard modern web apps on the fly.
The same essence as before: With all such powerful features within a tiny package, the vNext doesn’t lack the essence of reliability and productivity as that of the Original charming ASP .Net framework. So, we must say a big bang for its tremendous future!! To get maximum benefits of .Net, you may consider hiring services of a asp.net application development company.

1. String concatenation instead of StringBuilder: When a software developer enters into the industry he has a habit of using string concatenation in asp .net just like he does in C and C++. But here the situation is different. In asp .net when we concatenate a string with a older one the entire new string get transferred to a new location and this process goes on as a result it leads to an inefficient process. To avoid this, there is a StringBuilder i.e., it enables the concatenation process that occur on the same location of the address leading to an efficient programming.
2. LINQ: While dealing with LINQ, programmers usually return the data to the first occurrence using “First” method but sometimes the “First” method doesn’t reside in the program. As a result an exception will be thrown. As a good asp .net developer, you should use “FirstOrDefault” so that the default value for the type will be returned and there will be no exception.
3. Mapping for rewriting properties: While dealing with a big data asp application, the developer many types need to write a property definition repeatedly. In that case as an efficient asp .net developer you should take the help of mapping tools like Automapper etc for more efficiency and accuracy.
4. Not using “using”: Using is a vital key word in C# but many asp .net developers are not aware of the same. It can be used not only for addition of namespaces but also for disposing objects. Though developers usually use it for the first case but they hesitate to use it for the second situation. So you should avoid hesitation to use “using” for disposing objects.
5. Use “foreach” instead of for: When you are aware of the number of elements in the array, you can use for loop. But this is not an efficient way of programming. Because this habit may lead to fatal situation in the course of application development. Hence you should use “foreach” to avoid all types of critical situations.
6. Unnecessary db calls: Usually new asp .net developers make multiple calls to the database unnecessarily while programming in C#. They think it will help in more accurate database operation. But they unaware of the unnecessary load on the server. Hence you must avoid multiple db calls.
7. Misunderstanding default value for uninitialized variables: When we write programme in C#, many times we deal with variables which are uninitialized. While checking the values of those uninitialized variables we think it is a null value but this is not the true case. Because C# adds a value to every uninitialized variables unlike in case of a class.
8. Improper string comparison: Usually new asp .net developers implement “==” operator to compare two strings. But, this is not at all accepted from a good developer. You should use “equals” method for the same.
9. Allowing Complier Warnings: While working with any programming language, developers usually don’t bother much about the warnings. But it is really a bad practice. Before you over look any warning you must know the reason behind. So you should be careful while avoiding any type of warning in your application during compilation.
10. Use exception handler: Usually developers are over confident while programming their application and they forget to implement exception handler in the programme. This is really a bad practice and a good asp .net developer must use exception handler in his application in every required stage. To get maximum benefits of .Net, you may consider hiring services of a custom .net development company.

History of ASP .Net: Microsoft is the biggest brand of IT industry till date. It has an undisputed track record for than two decades, which shows its talent and potential to understand the demand of users and its effort and passion for the rest of the world. When Windows OS get born, the industry was astonished!! Microsoft has always given shocks to the industry with its outstanding products in a mesmerizing manner. ASP .Net is one such piece. It is a framework for its .Net scripting language!! It is extremely popular in the industry with special reference to web industry and web developers. Let us have a quick look over few important fundamental materials that a web developer must learn to be a good ASP .Net developer.
Have a strong grasp on HTML: HTML is the core of any web application. It is the content that render on the web page and visible to the end user. So, a ASP .Net developer must learn HTML in depth. Web page starts with HTML tag “<HTML>” and it follows other tags. There are many tricky tags in HTML which a web developer or ASP dot Net developer must learn before he jumps into this challenging career. Well, the modern HTML5 is a big advantage for the developer if he wants to sustain in the industry with dignity.
Knowledge of backend programming is must: Back end programming is something which is nothing but the core logic of the application. It is usually written in programming languages like C# in case of ASP .Net. So an ASP .Net developer must have a strong knowledge on back end programming. This will determine the efficiency of any application so, it is must.
