ASP.NET Development

There are many benefits of hiring a Dot Net developer to developing your next application in ASP.NET. These are a few:

• It is built on top of a solid web framework software library of common functions that every programmer needs called the ASP.NET Framework. It has been around since 2002 so it’s a very mature and evolved platform.

• It does not require any installation on the client computer, instead, it runs in a browser.

• It allows leveraging of powerful management and monitoring tools provided by Windows Server.

• Recovery, caching, and scalability capabilities are built into the underlying technology.

• ASP.NET Web Forms allow developing web application screens as easily as developing desktop screens. It comes with a rich toolbox of prebuilt widgets that an ASP programmer can drag and drop onto a visual designer and then configure. This significantly reduces the amount of code and time a .NET consultant is required to build web apps.

• Several powerful data access technologies are provided, which allow integration with almost any backend data store. A very high degree of integration with SQL Server makes data access a snap with Microsoft’s Entity Framework.

• High-productivity toolsets include Visual Studio, Team Explorer, Expression Blend, Profiling, Debugging, and Testing tools. Visual Studio has built-in tools for UX/UI design. All of these tools make life easy for the ASP.NET consultant.

• ASP Dot Net can be used in conjunction with ReactJS/React Native or Angular for the user interface design.

• Language independence – an ASP.NET web development company can work in Visual Basic or the C# programming language.

• ASP.NET has built-in industrial strength security.

• Built-in support for APIs that allow you to integrate with other web applications, like SalesForce, via ASP.NET Web APIs.

• Built-in high-security user authentication.

• ASP.NET MVC provides support for the Model-View-Controller which is a common software architectural pattern/template that separates an application into three main logical components: the model, the view, and the controller.

• It allows applications to be integrated with Windows Active Directory.

• It can be used to develop cloud applications with Microsoft Azure.

• There is a robust ecosystem of 3rd party tool developers who produce add-on toolkits that make ASP.NET web applications even better. For example, Telerik’s ASP.NET Core UI Component Library is a superb library of over 100 mobile responsive widgets that we use on almost every project.

• It has support for mobile app development.

• ASP.NET is now Open Source with its  platform. It now has cross-ASP.NET Core development platform support and can target different operating systems like Windows, Linux, macOS, and Docker which helps build better applications with ASP.NET core development.

• ASP.NET provides a robust framework for building mobile applications, enabling developers to create native and cross-platform apps with high performance and a rich user experience.

• ASP.NET’s runtime environment ensures seamless execution of web applications, providing the necessary support for ASP.NET code to run efficiently on web servers.

• ASP.NET’s web-based architecture allows developers to create web applications that can be accessed and used through web browsers, providing a wide-reaching and accessible user experience.

ASP.NET is a great choice for web application development. ASP.NET application development is a robust and versatile approach to building dynamic and feature-rich web applications, and our team specializes in delivering high-quality ASP.NET development services to cater to your specific business needs. ASP.NET produces high-speed applications in part because it is pre-compiled. This also catches syntax errors before they get into production. It’s a low-cost, open-source platform with a large base of Microsoft ASP.NET developers who provide Microsoft .NET development services. ASP.NET web development is appealing because of its robust framework for creating responsive, interactive web applications, allowing businesses to deliver seamless user experiences that leverage the full potential of the ASP.NET platform.

Because it comes from Microsoft and has been in production use since 2002, it is a stable, mature platform you can count on to be around well into the future. ASP.NET comes with a great IDE (Integrated Development Environment) called Visual Studio that combines an editor, code management, compiler, and debugger all rolled into one tool.

ASP.NET is designed to work very efficiently with Microsoft SQL Server, but it also works with MySQL, Postgres, and MongoDB database platforms.

The two main programming languages available, C# and VB.NET, are Object Oriented (OO) languages that provide patterns for code organization and code reuse, making applications less complex and easier to maintain. Between the .NET Framework and 3rd party toolkits, the amount of programming needed to solve complex problems is greatly reduced.

Now, with ASP.NET Core web applications, ASP is even better. .NET Core is the new and exciting cross-platform framework used to build Windows, Mac, and Linux applications. Originally released in 2016, it is an open-source successor to Microsoft’s wildly popular .NET Framework

Keene Systems is an ASP.NET development company that combines technical depth with real-world business experience to produce web applications and workflow solutions that work for your business. Our focus is on designing, developing, and supporting business software that achieves results for our clients. Our team of ASP.NET programmers, designers, business analysts, testers, and .NET systems architects shares a passion for programming that solves real-world problems. An agile approach lets us build dynamic, scalable web applications for a wide range of industries, and every one of them is built around your actual business process instead of an off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all package. Whether you are building a new application from scratch, modernizing a legacy system, or finally getting your data out of Excel spreadsheets, Keene Systems has you covered from the first requirements meeting through long-term support.

ASP.NET Application Development: What We Build

Most of our ASP.NET work falls into a handful of categories. Chances are your project looks like one of these:

• Customer and partner portals: secure logins where your customers place orders, check status, upload documents, or pay invoices without calling your office.

• Internal line-of-business systems: the application your staff lives in all day, built around how your company actually works, from quoting and scheduling to inventory and job tracking.

• Workflow and approval tools that replace email chains, paper forms, and the spreadsheet only one person understands.

• Reporting dashboards that pull data from several systems into one screen, so managers stop waiting for month-end reports.

• APIs and integrations that connect your application to accounting, CRM, ERP, payment, and shipping systems, so nobody re-keys the same data twice.

• Modernization: moving Web Forms, Classic ASP, and Microsoft Access applications to ASP.NET Core and SQL Server without losing the business rules buried in the old code.

Behind every one of these is the same full-stack toolkit: ASP.NET Core and ASP.NET MVC on the server, React or Angular when the interface needs it, SQL Server for the data, and Azure or your own servers for hosting. We also handle the database side, including moving Access databases to SQL Server, upgrading older SQL Server versions, and tuning slow queries.

Custom ASP.NET Development Services

Custom ASP.NET development means the application is built from scratch around your requirements rather than bent to fit a packaged product. Our custom ASP.NET development services cover the full life of an application:

• New development in ASP.NET Core, the current, cross-platform version of the framework.

• ASP.NET MVC applications that keep business logic, data, and screens cleanly separated, so the system stays maintainable for years.

• Integration and migration, including moving applications off PHP, Java, older .NET Framework versions, and Classic ASP.

• Back-end development: APIs, web services, and database design.

• Front-end development with React, Angular, and Telerik UI components for rich, fast screens.

• Maintenance and support after launch: bug fixes, security updates, and framework upgrades.

Work Directly With Senior ASP.NET Developers

When you hire an ASP.NET developer through Keene Systems, you are not handed off to a call center. You work with experienced ASP.NET programmers and a business analyst who learn your business before they write a line of code, and you talk to the people actually doing the work.

We have built ASP.NET applications since the framework first shipped in 2002, and Classic ASP applications since the late 1990s. That history matters: many of the systems we are asked to rescue or modernize were written in exactly those technologies, and we know where the bodies are buried.

Every project follows the same proven process:

• Requirements: our business analysts and developers work with your team to document who uses the system, what it must do, and how success will be measured.

• Design: screens, workflow, and database design, with wireframes or prototypes you can react to early, when changes are cheap.

• Development: our ASP.NET developers build in short agile cycles, so you see working software regularly instead of waiting months for a big reveal.

• Testing: unit, integration, and user acceptance testing before anything reaches your staff or customers.

• Deployment: to your servers or to Microsoft Azure, configured and verified.

• Support: updates, upgrades, and fixes for as long as the application is in service.

The day-to-day toolkit is Visual Studio, C# (and VB.NET where an existing system uses it), SQL Server, Entity Framework, Web API, React, Angular, Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core, and Git. If you need an ASP.NET expert to extend a system someone else built, we take on that work too.

Not ready to build yet? Sometimes the right first step is an outside opinion: an architecture or code review, a performance audit, or a second opinion before you commit to a rebuild. That is the work of our ASP.NET consulting team; see .NET consulting
