What is Asp.Net?

In this post, I will explain what is ASP.Net?

ASP.Net is a server-side web application framework which provides a programming model, a comprehensive software infrastructure and various services required to build dynamic web sites, web applications, web services and mobile applications. 

ASP.Net was developed by Microsoft, it is a part of Microsoft .Net platform. ASP.Net applications are compiled codes, written using the extensible and reusable components or objects present in the .Net framework. These codes can use the entire hierarchy of classes in the .Net framework. ASP.Net works on top of the HTTP protocol and uses the HTTP commands and policies to set browser-to-server communication and cooperation.

ASP.Net was released in 2002 as a successor to Classic Asp. ASP.Net pages have the extension .aspx and are normally written in C#, VB.Net or J#.
