Microsoft's .NET cross-platform development framework operates with a range of languages and continually expanding libraries of tested code that enable the quick creation of applications for the web, mobile devices, desktop PCs, and the IoT. Open source .NET allows you to use a common code base to build native applications for Windows, Linux, and macOS devices. Microsoft's .NET MAUI platform, formerly branded Xamarin, permits you work with C# to create natively compiled iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows applications. With the Blazor feature of ASP.NET you can use C# rather than JavaScript to build interactive web user interfaces that share the same code and libraries.
Progent's application developers have worked with ever-evolving .NET technologies and the integrated Visual Studio development environment for two decades and can assist your organization to benefit from the vast .NET platform by creating apps quickly and at historically low cost. Apps created by Progent are easy to deploy and can be built as new solutions or as enhancements to your current applications. Because ongoing .NET tools have maintained backwards compatibility with outdated releases of .NET, Progent's extensive background makes it possible to support, improve, or modernize your older generation .NET solutions. Progent's programming skills combined with the wide selection of reusable code and the simplicity of deploying .NET applications make it possible for businesses of any size to afford specialized software that can streamline workflows, improve the user experience, or otherwise deliver business value.

Progent's Areas of Expertise for .NET Development
Microsoft's .NET environment features a wide range of tools for planning, building, validating, deploying, and troubleshooting cross-platform applications. Progent offers expert help for building major types of .NET applications.
Web Applications
Progent can help speed up the development of specialized apps with ASP.NET, the web platform for Microsoft's .NET. Progent offers expertise with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and C++, and can also use Blazor, a feature of ASP.NET, to create interactive web UIs using C# rather than JavaScript. Progent can also use the Razor programming syntax for ASP.NET to create dynamic web content using C# or VB.NET.
Microservices and Containers
Progent's experts can assist you to reduce management costs by creating apps for Windows and Linux based on modular microservices that are simple to deploy and scale. In a microservices system, you create apps from a collection of services that can be fabricated, tested, and deployed independently. You can manage these apps using .NET Core plus Docker containers in the cloud or locally. Containers have a dramatically more compact footprint than VM images and feature excellent isolation, portability, versatility, and expandability.
Azure Cloud
Progent can help you eliminate operating system administration hassle by utilizing Azure App Service for developing and operating ASP.NET websites and Windows Communication Foundation services. Azure App Service saves effort and expense by delivering capabilities such as auto scaling, updates, CI/CD, health monitoring, and troubleshooting snapshots. Progent's experts can also assist you to create and implement a cloud-native ASP.NET Core microservice to Azure Kubernetes Service via Docker.
Mobile and Desktop
Progent's experts can utilize the .NET Multi-platform App UI, formerly called Xamarin, for developing natively compiled apps for macOS and Windows desktops and for Android and iOS mobile endpoints. With .NET MAUI, application developers can work with C# and XAML in a unified codebase.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Progent's experts can leverage .NET's extensive set of open-source Internet of Things (IoT) libraries by writing C# apps that work with devices powered by Raspberry Pi, HummingBoard, BeagleBoard, Pine A64, and other IoT platforms. This offers fast development of applications for integration and control of IoT hardware such as temperature and humidity sensors, gas sensors, RFID modules, ADCs, gyroscopes, and input devices that use GPIO, SPI, I2C, PWM, and serial interfaces. Bindings available with .NET support HATs (hardware attached on top) such as GrovePi, and Raspberry Pi Sense.

.NET Upgrade Support
.NET tools are evolving rapidly in important areas such as cloud connectivity and IoT support. Progent's experts can assist your internal development team to keep current by deploying tools like .NET Upgrade Assistant for updating your older .NET Framework-based Windows apps steadily to a current version of .NET. Modernizing your .NET development environment offers an array of benefits including additional features, cross-platform support, higher performance, tighter cybersecurity, and more deployment options.
Progent's Database Support for .NET Applications
Progent offers advanced skills with leading database platforms for creating .NET apps. In addition to offering Microsoft SQL Server programming skills, Progent also supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, and other popular database systems.
