To quote from "ASP.NET for Dummies" :
"You just can't do business without a Web site, and
the more compelling and interactive it is, the better. In a
competitive environment, keeping your Web site fresh and
exciting can have a real effect on your bottom line...
ASP.NET is the technology that can give you that
competitive edge. It's easy to use and works with other
familiar languages, like Visual Basic and HTML, to help you
set up cool interactive Web pages."
However, there's a lot more to it than that.
ASP.NET allows us to create multi-user software, with
powerful database functions built in. End users can
access the software via their web browsers and it makes no
difference whether they use PCs or Macs.

Virtually any software application which you can imagine
can now be created in ASP.NET.
And it doesn't really matter whether this is over the
internet or on an intranet (your organisation's own
network).
This solves a long standing problem by opening up easy
access from multiple branches across town or across the
world! Excellent security features allow you to
restrict access to people with appropriate authority.
C# (pronounced C Sharp) is the designated benchmark
programming language used in ASP.NET and is the one that we
use.
