Why Does the .NET Framework Exist?

[OakBluff55]

Good job - covered a lot of history without any "Rick Perry" moments - which is impressive. Thanks. Feynman had it easier - he had a live audience of college students who wanted good grades so they laughed at the right times. Just noticed this is from 2008! Wow - really good to be useful 4 years later!

Yep, i'm subscribing!

I am in love with this lecture.Thx.

Libraries aren't integral to the operating system, you need header files to compile a program to integrate into the OS. DLLs are however, the .net framework expands this structure. DLL's are however replaceable this is the key concept of COM infrastructure. What exactly is the operating system ? This is pretty much undefined in Windows and changes regularly, only its programming interface is defined. NET framework again just reworks this. Personally I think its brilliantly complex though.

i like this guy because he explains code in the REAL WORLD something most teachers cant do

[pagola]

perfect explanation sir

[pagola]

@stathisdj dude how else do you freakin fuk learn

[borisstanar1]

so that it can screw peoples mind

[SwuaveWEB]

Great talk, thumbs up and subscribed. Thanks for sharing you knowledge. Some of the things you put in such a way that made it more clear than I already understood it.

Python will take over soon, but nice input on your language aspects

good teacher

[hanrinch]

net framework was planned to be a next generation platform for replasement of both c++/java/ amx/css/html as unified langauge for program developer to easily writing application without and kind of difficulty. however because most of x86 platform are heavily depand on C++ which made c++/html stand still.

using application to write another application instead of coding is sounds good but in reality this cause bad campatibility issue for some x86 platform like amd and other.

have break, have a kitkat ;)

nice video, thx

[RosieDesire]

Great video. I love how you compressed the history to make it easy for people to consume. One thing you didn't talk about that was very important with the evolution of these languages was the Internet and networking in general. Because of it, there was a greater need to stable code, hence the birth of managed code such as Java. C# and the CLR was more a response to Java and the internet than VB. C++ is alive and well for its niche. Love the talk... looking forward to more.

AmigaBASIC was awesome :)

[kaiwaig]

I remember when I first learnt how to programme at Polytech, they had just phased out Pascal in favour of VB; before that I taught myself AmigaBASIC and AMOS (dabbled in a bit of REXX as well). Gradually getting through C because eventually I'd like to learn Objective-C (because I run a Mac) so it should be a heap of fun :)

[RosieDesire]

REXX there's something I haven't heard in awhile. Loved AmigaBASIC but my first language was PetBASIC.

[laidback4sho72]

my first language was BASIC...that was back in the days of the Tandy TRS-80 circa 1983? god i feel old!

[RosieDesire]

Yeah mine was in 1980... Our school had a CommodorePet, later we had access to an AppleII and the TRS80.. the 8 inch drives.. yes before the high tech 5 1/4 inch single density floppies.

Yeah, I feel old too. My teenage daughter asked me earlier this year, "what's this thing" It was a 5 1/4 that she found in an old box.
