Programming Languages: C#

• Because of the excellent performance of .NET and the beauty of the syntax
• .NET ecosystem

Frameworks: CodeBehind Framework

• Faster execution than ASP.NET Core MVC and Razor Pages
• Modularity and flexibility
• View is preferable to controller and there is no need to set controllers in route
• No need to follow MVC for different parts of the application

Databases: SQL Server, MySql, XML and INI file

• In cases where writing is done once or very little, I use XML files and INI files
• I use MySql because it is open source
• I use SQL Server Express because it is free

Development Environments and Tools: Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Notepad++, Mozilla browser inspector

• Usually, I permanently add static files that change a lot to Notepad++ and just open Notepad++ and have quick access to these files
• Visual Studio gives me high maneuverability
• I do web design with Mozilla browser inspector tool

Testing and Debugging: Visual Studio

• I make a copy of the program and open the copied program in Visual Studio and then debug it with the debug tool
