Microsoft's .NET platform, which has become platform-independent through .NET Core, provides an extremely robust and versatile development environment. It enables the creation of desktop applications (WPF), modern web applications (Blazor, ASP.NET), as well as video games and AR/VR software (Unity). Typically used in conjunction with Visual Studio and C# as the programming language, .NET is one of the most popular development platforms, especially in the enterprise environment.
In contrast to PHP and JavaScript, C# is a fully object-oriented, compiled language with a strict type system.
