Describing .NET to clients

I saw a blog on this recently, but I cannot find it now.  Can someone refer me to the blog, or, in your best laymen words, give me a paragraph or two on how you describe .NET to your clients?  This is to a client who is not technical. 

 

Thanks

  • .NET is a system, created by Microsoft, that allows computer programs to be more powerful. They do this by letting you use the same skills to write programs for Windows, the Internet, cell phones, voice applications... you name it. There are several languages you can use to write for .NET, and through a concept called "Web Services", you can even let separate applications talk to each other using XML. These web services will even let you talk to non-.NET programs, like ones built on Java. It's really cool, and the technology is only getting started.



    How is that?

  • Robert, perfect!

    Chris, thanks!

  • ".Net is a set of building blocks that allow you to develop desktop, mobile and web applications that run on top of Microsoft Windows operating systems. These applications can easily intercommunicate with applications and systems running on different operating systems using industry agreed protocols. It provides the developer with flexibility in terms of the programming languages with which they develop the applications and costs nothing to install except for the cost of the operating system licence."

  • My manager asked me "Hey, where is XML and webservices?"



    Ofcourse those cannot be in, because they aren't .NET. Webservices are made easy by .NET, but they are also possible in VB6 and Java. As is XML.

  • Like any 1.0 Microsoft product - wait for version 2.0 before committing yourself to delivering solutions to your customers on it.
