It has been more than a decade since the release of .Net framework by Microsoft and since then we all have been enjoying numerous benefits offered by different web and desktop application development. .Net development is such a platform that includes servers, building-block services like web-based data storage, basically, it includes the entire collection of programming support. With such a wide range of capabilities and tools, there are times when even the most experienced .Net developer finds it difficult which skills to master now.
Well, there is a lot going on the .Net space. I mean recently, Microsoft has announced the release of the .Net Framework 4.7 featuring windows 10 creators update. The framework also includes new features in the following areas such as:-
There are plenty of resources out there for ASP .Net developers who want to work hard on enhancing their technical skills. In this section, I would like to share a few pointers that will fine-tune some of your technical abilities and improve your earning potential.
Be The Master Of One- Being a .Net developer, one has to be proficient with a framework in particular and nothing can beat the increasing popularity of the ASP .Net MVC today. This framework, in particular, can provide a great help in creating beautifully styled web applications featuring high-end web development technologies.
Develop your SQL Skills- Whether you remain focused on Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL, a reliable .Net developer has the potential to architect as well as maintain a database like never before. The world of technology is dominated by data and the better your SQL skills are, the more likely you can grow in your career.
Better understanding of client- side technologies- Any ASP .Net developer should incorporate the skill of creating creative, interactive and catchy web applications. And for this, he or she must have a profound knowledge of client-side technologies such as CSS, HTML, jQuery, JavaScript, and Bootstrap.
The future of .NET and its related technology is simply great. So keep going!
Well, there is a lot going on the .Net space. I mean recently, Microsoft has announced the release of the .Net Framework 4.7 featuring windows 10 creators update. The framework also includes new features in the following areas such as:-
- Core- the framework includes “DataContractJsonSerializer” which improves serialization with the ECMAScript 6 standard. Although, this is an opt- in feature for applications running under .Net framework 4.7 but even supports the previous versions as well.
- Networking – Speaking about the Network- related feature, components such as HTTP, FTP and SMTP enables the developer to use the default TLS protocols. Hence, they no longer need to a hard-core TLS version.
- ASP .NET- ASP .Net adds an exceptional range of APIs that eventually allows the developer to replace the default version for in-memory object caching and memory monitoring. Due to this, programmers can easily replace any components in case if the ASP .Net is not adequate.
- Object Cache Store- Here a .Net developer can easily plug –in new implementations of an object cache with the help of the new ICacheStoreProvider interface.
- Memory Monitoring- For those who don’t know what is memory monitor in Asp.Net, it notifies applications when the machine is low on total available physical RAM. The updated version allows the developer to write their own memory monitors to replace the default one by using the HostingEnvironment.ApplicationMonitors.MemoryMonitor property.
- Memory Limit Reactions- The ASP .Net version by default tries to trim the object cache especially when the process limit is near. The .Net Framework 4.7 enables the developers to replace or supplement the default behavior to the application’s memory monitor.
- Object Cache Store- Here a .Net developer can easily plug –in new implementations of an object cache with the help of the new ICacheStoreProvider interface.
- Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) - The future of .NET is great. WCF incorporates a variety of code changes that eliminate race conditions which ultimately results in Performance and reliability improvements of serialization options. Features such as:-
- Better support for mixing asynchronous and synchronous code in calls to SocketConnection.BeginRead and SocketConnection.Read.
- Improved reliability when aborting a connection with SharedConnectionListener and DuplexChannelBinder.
- Improved reliability when removing a waiter by calling the ChannelSynchronizer.RemoveWaiter method.
- Windows Forms – The framework features high DPI support and dynamic DPI for windows forms applications on windows 10. High DPI results by improving the layout and appearance of forms and controls on high DPI monitors while on the other hand, dynamic DPI changes the layout and appearance of forms and controls of a running application.
- Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) – Like I said before, the circle of .Net is exploding. Instead of using Windows Ink services platform, an ASP.NET developer has this option of using the touch/stylus support for windows that is based on WM_POINTER messages. Apart from this, one can even try using the new implementation for WPF printing APIs as well as the enhanced cryptography support.
