MCSD .net: Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer .net

Definition & Purpose

Microsoft .NET is a set of Microsoft software technologies for connecting your world of information, people, systems, and devices. It enables an unprecedented level of software integration through the use of XML Web services: small, discrete, building-block applications that connect to each other and as well as to other, larger applications via the Internet. XML Web services let applications share data, and more powerfully invoke capabilities from other applications without regard to how those applications were built, what operating system or platform they run on, and what devices are used to access them.
