Computer Network Outsourcing for Midsize Businesses

Microsoft's .NET cross-platform development environment operates with a range of programming languages and steadily expanding libraries of tested code that enable the quick production of apps for the web, mobile devices, desktop PCs, and the Internet of Things. Open source .NET allows you to use a common code base to create native applications for Windows, Linux, and macOS devices. The .NET MAUI platform, formerly branded Xamarin, permits you use the C# language 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 create interactive web user interfaces that share the same code and libraries.

Progent's app developers have created solutions with continually-evolving .NET technologies and the Visual Studio development platform for 20 years and can assist your organization to benefit from the full-featured .NET ecosystem by building apps quickly and at low cost. Apps developed by Progent are simple to deploy and manage and can be designed as new solutions or as enhancements to your existing applications. Because newer .NET tools have maintained backwards compatibility with outdated versions of .NET, Progent's extensive background makes it possible to maintain, improve, or modernize your legacy .NET solutions. Progent's programming skills added to the open-source libraries of proven code and the simplicity of installing .NET apps allow companies of any size to afford custom programs that can streamline operations, improve the user experience, or otherwise provide competitive advantage.

Progent's Categories of Expertise for .NET Development
Microsoft's .NET ecosystem includes a broad array of tools for planning, creating, testing, installing, and upgrading multi-platform applications. Progent offers expert help for building major categories of .NET applications.

Web Apps
Progent can help accelerate the development of custom applications with ASP.NET, the web platform for .NET. Progent has expertise with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and C++, and can also use Blazor, a framework of ASP.NET, to create client-side web UIs using C# rather than JavaScript. Progent can also use the Razor programming syntax for ASP.NET to create dynamic web pages with C# or VB.NET.

Microservices and Containers
Progent can help you to reduce management costs by creating apps for Windows and Linux built around modular microservices that are easy to deploy and scale. In a modern microservices system, you create applications from a set of services that can be built, validated, and installed independently. You can manage these applications using .NET Core and Docker containers in the cloud or locally. Containers offer a significantly smaller footprint than VM images and provide a high level of isolation, portability, versatility, and scalability.

Microsoft Azure Cloud
Progent can assist you reduce OS administration hassle by using Azure App Service for developing and operating ASP.NET websites and Windows Communication Foundation services. Azure App Service saves effort and expense by delivering features such as as-needed scaling, updates, continuous integration/continuous delivery, health monitoring, and debugging snapshots. Progent can also assist you to design and implement a cloud-native ASP.NET Core microservice to Azure Kubernetes Service using Docker.

Mobile and Desktop
Progent can utilize the .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI), formerly called Xamarin, for developing natively compiled applications for macOS and Windows desktops and for Android and iOS mobile devices. With .NET MAUI, developers can work with C# along with XAML in a unified codebase.

Internet of Things (IoT)
Progent can take advantage of .NET's large set of open-source Internet of Things (IoT) libraries by creating C# applications that run on devices based on Raspberry Pi, HummingBoard, BeagleBoard, Pine A64, and other IoT platforms. This offers rapid development of applications for integration and control of specialized hardware such as humidity sensors, gas sensors, RFID modules, ADCs, gyroscopes, and input devices that use GPIO, SPI, I2C, and serial interfaces. Device bindings compatible with .NET support HATs such as Adafruit Seesaw, and Raspberry Pi Sense.

.NET Upgrade Support
.NET tools are expanding quickly in key areas including cloud integration and IoT support. Progent's experts can help your in-house development team to stay current by deploying tools like .NET Upgrade Assistant for updating your older .NET Framework-based Windows apps at your own pace to a current release of .NET. Modernizing your .NET environment offers a range of advantages including additional features, cross-platform support, higher performance, better security, and more integration possibilities.

Progent's Database Expertise for .NET Development
Progent can provide advanced skills with leading database platforms for building .NET applications. In addition to providing MS SQL Server programming services, Progent also supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, and other popular database platforms.
