.NET (pronounced as "dot net") is a software framework developed by Microsoft. It includes a large class library named as Framework Class Library (FCL) and provides language interoperability (each language can use code written in other languages) across several programming languages, including Dyalog APL and APL+Win. FCL provides user interface, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, web application development, numeric algorithms, and network communications.
.NET Framework is the primary implementation, but is restricted to Microsoft Windows only and is mainly proprietary software.
.NET Core is an alternative Microsoft implementation of the framework; it has similarities with .NET Framework and even shares some API, but is designed based on different sets of principles: It is cross-platform and free and open-source. Starting in 2020, it will become the primary implementation.
