🆚 .NET vs. ASP.NET MVC

.NET is a free, cross-platform, open-source developer platform from Microsoft used to build web, desktop, mobile, cloud, and IoT applications across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

It includes a runtime with automatic memory management, a large standard library and APIs, support for various languages such as C#, F#, and Visual Basic, and a package ecosystem with over 400,000 NuGet packages, along with frameworks like ASP.NET Core for web applications and .NET MAUI for cross-platform interfaces.

Microsoft ASP.NET MVC is a web application platform that implements the model-view-controller pattern as part of the ASP.NET framework.

Unlike ASP.NET Web Forms, it avoids view state and server-side form events, gives developers full control over generated HTML, uses a front-controller routing system, and supports easier unit testing.
