Why .NET Core Development is Better Than You Might Think

With so many companies going mobile, Microsoft has been working hard to provide developers with the tools they need to be competitive in an increasingly digital world. .NET Core is a lightweight and modular framework that provides support for cross-platform development and can run on Windows, MacOS, and Linux operating system. With these new innovations from Microsoft, it's easier than ever for businesses of all sizes to keep up with the latest trends in technology. 

The use of .NET Core allows for faster application development, making it possible to get your product out into the market more quickly than before. Plus, you have access to a wealth of resources such as templates, tutorials, and samples which can help you build a better app faster! 

Why .Net Core Is The Most Effective Framework 

The .NET Core framework is a cross-platform, open-source set of tools that allow the development of ASP.NET applications and services that run on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. This new framework will provide your company with an opportunity to have a sustainable competitive advantage in today's market by providing you with: 

  • Faster application deployment times - Deploying on your application, it can take as few as three seconds to deploy instead of days. 
  • More efficiency - Reusing code across platforms saves time when developing or debugging.
  • Enhanced security - Cross-platform apps can't be used to access data on other systems without permission due to lack of trust between operating systems.
  • Migration from legacy- Transition from .NET framework to .NET Core offers high performance and ensures simpler package management.

Let's understand the key features of .NET Core development to get better clarity on this topic.  

Open-Source Framework: 

.NET Core and its frameworkhave been available as open-source since 2014. Being an open-source development platform is itself an advantage. It means, it's free to use and distribute among other users. Additionally, it also allows the user to modify the framework. Thus, it makes bug fixing quicker and gets you the latest enhancementsearly. 

This is one of the best features of the .NET Core platform bringing immense popularity to it. The .NET framework code is available on GitiHub that allows users to use, review, and modify.  

Simplicity That Makes It popular: 

Another prime reason behind the popularity of.NET Core and its framework ASP.NET is the platform’ssimplicity. Being a simple framework means different functionality like client authentication, form submission, and site configuration are built-in andmuch easier to use. It offers top-notch MVC architecture, which helps when creating APIs and in custom software development. 

The simplicity of the key features allows programmers to test, code, anddebug a custom software application all in one integrated development environment (IDE). The available code is reusable in nature, and it makes the software development work a lot easier and saves an ample amount of time. 

Platform Independence: 

.NET Core is among a few of the frameworks used for software development with any platform. The framework is built to support several differentplatforms. The mobile application develops using the .NET Core framework helps the developers support various operating systems like Android, iOS, Windows, etc. 

Excellent Productivity Tools: 

.NET Core provides excellent tools that enhance productivity and make the developer's work a lot easier. Different toolslike Microsoft Visual Studio allow the user to download and use plugins for custom software development. 

Remember, not all the tools of the .NET Core are available for free. However, it provides an ample number of features. Thus, it is considered one of the most flexible and successful frameworks. 

High Performance: 

When all the key features work efficiently, it providesexcellent performance in applications. Undoubtedly, the .NET framework is fast, flexible, reliable, and scalable. 

During code compilation, the .NET framework facilitates automatic code optimization resulting in higher performance. The other effective features like faster release cycle, memory allocation help to make it an effective framework for IoT, cloud, and mobile application development.    

Conclusion: 

Hopefully, this post has provided better insight into .NET Coreframework and its features. Whether the user plans to develop a mobile application, dynamic website, or business software application, the .NET Core framework providesyou with the solution you need. 

The popularity of .NET Core development is soaring continuously in comparison to previous years. And the reasons for popularity are the key features mentioned above. So, choose.NETCore as the platform for your software development needs and experience the business growth you deserve.
