On Windows 11 and Windows 10, the .NET Framework (often referred to as “dot net”) is a comprehensive development platform that includes programming languages, libraries, and tools used to create a wide range of applications. Developers rely on it to build software for desktops, laptops, tablets, servers, websites, and even games.
While .NET originated as a Windows-specific framework, it has evolved into an open-source and cross-platform technology. Today, it runs not only on Windows but also on macOS and Linux, making it a flexible solution for modern software development.
