hey!

the .net framework thing....a recommended update... what is this exactly and why would i need it, if at all?

any help greatly appreciated! 🙂
 
.NET framework is required to run applications written in Microsoft's .NET family of languages (VB.NET, C#.NET, VisualC++.NET). In the same way that Java applications/applets require a Java Virtual Machine in order to run, .NET applications require the .NET framework.

That said, if you don't use any .NET applications, you don't need the framework installed.
 
MS did a presentation on campus last week (I went for a shot at a free X-box, but that's besides the point). More of a presentation of Visual Studios .NET. Anyways, on the demo, they wrote code in four distinct languages (C#, VB, etc). They were all compiled together on the framework, and were able to communicate with eachother seamlessly. For me, someone who hasn't had much experience with the "real world" of programming, it was a very interesting.

I'm a .NET Framework developer and my experience is that (my) apps written in the .NET Framework are cleaner/smoother and less buggy. Plus there's going to be less memory leaks. This is because the .NET Framework makes it easier to develop and handles all the memory management for you.

Right now you're not going to find too many apps that use it but it's on the rise. I was job hunting and I found plenty of companies that have already switched to developing .NET apps
