Question about .NET |
I preface this question by the comment that I know very little about
what is discussed on this NG.
I am nearing a point where I will need to write an application, but
that's a later, much more complicated topic.
I just did a very brief review on the concepts of .NET. Based on
that review, it appears that this is a support environment where I,
as a developer, have the ability to accomplish certain tasks through
a common remote interface.
Tasks such as authentication, commonly used routines, and other
building block pieces, that might appear commonly in many appli-
cations.
I guess that the effort here is to finally begin to bond common fun-
ctions together through web access, as opposed to only what's
available locally, or in a function library.
I know my description is a little sketchy, but stay with me here.
The "Whatis" reference also describes this as a "premium online
subscription service". This, apparently from a MS point of view.
If MS is developing/offering this "premium online subscription
service", how is that aiding in any transition to open code, or a
better utilization of development across platforms?
IOW, is this merely a tactic to "box up" the platform resources
of other vendors, and further a monopoly by MS?
I'm not really asking for an explanation, but rather, maybe a source
where I could gain a better understanding, and a more thorough
perspective.
Here's the reference that I was reviewing:

I preface my answer with if you're not going to be considerate enough to
find out what's on-topic for this newsgroup, why should anybody try to
answer your question here? comp.lang.c++ talks about C++ as defined by the
Standard.
..NET is a platform-specific library (infrastructure?) and thus is off-topic
for comp.lang.c++. Try over on the Microsoft newsgroups.

ISO C++.

You should check Microsoft newsgroups.

a common remote interface.
It is a framework, in other words an architecture, providing a common
API for all languages.
