Microsoft .Net

Microsoft .NET is a software framework by Microsoft that is known for its scalability, built-in security, robustness, and performance. .NET also provides seamless integration with Microsoft technologies such as Azure cloud services, SQL Server, SharePoint, and Office applications, thus facilitating easier development and deployment of all software applications.   

We, at Akkomplish have a team of backend developers with strong proficiency in programming languages and adequate experience in working with databases, including database design, query optimization, and data modeling. Our team of developers can help businesses leverage the server-side frameworks to build scalable and efficient backend systems. We also follow the best backend security practices, including data encryption, secure API endpoints and input validation. We also protect your business data against common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and XSS (Cross-Site Scripting).

Here are some major benefits of using a .NET framework for backend development:

Streamlined Deployment Process

The .NET Framework simplifies deployment with features such as no-impact applications, controlled code sharing, side-by-side versioning, and support for partially trusted code. This ensures smooth application runtime behavior and effectively reduces versioning conflicts.

Accelerated Development Cycle

The .NET Framework significantly speeds up development processes with its extensive class libraries and robust IDE support. Tools like Visual Studio enhance coding efficiency with features like IntelliSense, powerful debugging, and comprehensive testing tools, facilitating faster code creation, testing, and debugging.

Robust Security Measures

Security is prioritized in the .NET Framework, offering a unified security model across applications. Features like role-based security and code access security provide strong defense against unauthorized access and malicious activities.

Enhanced Scalability and Performance

Applications built on the .NET Framework benefit from native optimization, caching services, and just-in-time compilation, ensuring exceptional performance. It also offers scalability and reliability, making it suitable for large-scale applications poised for growth.

Thriving Community Support

The .NET Framework benefits from a large developer community and strong support from Microsoft. Microsoft also provides abundant resources such as online tutorials, community forums, and official documentation to support the .NET community. This results in enhanced productivity and skill development.

Versatility across Modern Application Types

The .NET Framework serves as a versatile tool for diverse developer needs. It supports various application types including console applications, Windows Forms, WPF, ASP.NET, and Web APIs.

Here is the process that we follow for backend development using .NET:

Choosing the .NET Framework or .NET Core

We first choose between the traditional .NET Framework (Windows-only) or .NET Core (cross-platform) technologies. .NET Core is now unified with .NET 5 and later versions, making it a more modern choice with broader platform support.

Setting Up the Development Environment

Our team then sets up the development environment by installing Visual Studio for .NET development. Visual Studio provides tools for coding, testing, debugging and deploying applications.

Selecting a Programming Language

We then choose a .NET-supported language such as C#, VB.NET, or F#. However, we mostly use C# language for .NET development due to its simplicity, performance, and strong integration with the framework.

Creating the Backend Application

We then start a new project in Visual Studio, selecting the appropriate project template based on your application type (e.g., ASP.NET Core Web Application, Console Application, Web API). At this stage, we also define the structure of your application, including folders for models, controllers (for MVC or API endpoints), services, and data access layers. utions.

Implementing Business Logic and Data Access

Our developers then write business logic and algorithms that define how your application processes data and performs tasks. For web applications or services, our developers define and implement APIs using ASP.NET Core MVC or ASP.NET Core Web API frameworks, if required. We then create controllers that handle HTTP requests, define routes, and process incoming data.

Security and Testing

We then implement mechanisms to secure sensitive data from unauthorized access. Our developers write unit tests to ensure the reliability and correctness of your backend code. We then perform integration testing to verify interactions between components.

Performance Tuning

We then optimize performance by using caching mechanisms, optimizing database queries, and leveraging asynchronous programming techniques where appropriate. At this stage our developers use performance profiling tools to identify and address any bottlenecks and fix them.

Deployment

We then prepare the application for deployment by configuring deployment settings in Visual Studio or using command-line tools. Finally, the application is deployed to hosting environments such as Azure App Service, Docker containers, or on-premises servers.

Monitoring

Our team monitors the application’s performance using tools and logging frameworks. We help our clients maintain and update the application by applying patches, adding new features, and addressing security vulnerabilities, if any.
