.NET is Microsoft’s new strategy for the development and deployment of software. Depending on your interests and development background, we may already have a number of preconceived notions regarding

• NET fundamentally changes the way applications execute under the Windows Operating System.
• with .NET Microsoft is, in effect, abandoning its traditional Way of application development, one which favors compiled components, and is embracing Interpreted technology (similar, in many ways, to the Java Paradigm).

• The Common Language Runtime (CLR)
  

CLR is execution environment for all programs in the .NET Framework. The CLR is similar to a Java Virtual Machine (VM) in that it interprets byte code and executes it on the fly, while simultaneously providing services such as garbage collection and exception handling. Unlike a Java VM, which is limited to the Java language, the CLR is accessible from any compiler that produces Microsoft Intermediate Language (IL) code, which is similar to Java byte code. Code that executes inside the CLR is referred to as managed code. Code that executes outside its boundaries is called unmanaged code.
