What is the scope of .NET in the future? Or what is the future of .NET?
What is the scope of .NET in the future? Or what is the future of .NET? Well, let me start by asking this. What do you mean by future? Do you mean the next 5 years? Next 10 years or 100 years? I can't predict what will happen in the next 100 years but I can be sure that the future of .NET for the next 5 years is very bright. I think the future of .NET for the next 10 years is also very bright. Technologies See, over a period of time, software evolves. I remember when Microsoft announced its C# language in 1999 and couple of years later, .NET was introduced. After 12 years, here we are. .NET and C# is still here. It may have evolved a lot since then. Some noticeable trends are the disappearance of VB.NET, Windows Forms and Silverlight and the appearance of HTML 5, CSS3, JavaScript and Windows Store Apps. If you look today, Microsoft is focusing on .NET 4.5 with Visual Studio 2012. Visual Studio 2012 perhaps is one of the best products to build Windows and Web software applications.
