Overview

.NET is a mature platform with C# as its main language. It powers web APIs, internal business apps, Windows desktop software and cloud services, with ASP.NET Core for the web and Entity Framework for data.

Modern .NET runs on Linux and in containers. Many enterprises are moving old .NET Framework apps to modern .NET to stay supported and cut hosting costs.
