Microsoft’s flagship development platform, the .Net Framework, has grown and evolved from the origins of the original ASP (Active Server Page) technology which represented their first foray into web application development. Not just for the web, it also encompasses applications for desktop, devices and cloud services, and continues to grow and support some of the world’s largest companies – and the smallest, for those who are just beginning to learn how to write and design code using .Net.
MOBILE OPTIMIZATION AND YOU!
Take a moment and think about your daily routines. You wake up, start a pot of coffee and reach for what first? The newspaper, or your smart device? More than likely, the answer is the latter. And, much like the ad section of the weekly journal, you avoid poorly designed websites with unattractive design and information. Why? Because there aren’t enough minutes in the day to sift through poor websites, when you KNOW which are the best and fastest at delivering desired information. Welcome to the daily routine of your customers.
