Microsoft .NET 6.0 is a free, cross-platform, open-source developer platform for building many different types of applications. With .NET, you can build web, mobile, desktop, gaming, and IoT using multiple languages, editors, and libraries. Modern language constructs such as generics, language-integrated query (LINQ), and asynchronous programming, combined with extensive class libraries, common APIs, multi-language support, and the powerful tools provided by the Visual Studio family, enable developers to be productive.
With .NET, you can target any type of application running on any platform. Developers can reuse all skills and code in a familiar environment. From mobile applications running on iOS, Android and Windows, to enterprise server applications running on Windows Server and Linux, or large-scale microservices running in the cloud, .NET has a solution for you.

Language
- You can write applications in C#, F# or Visual Basic.
- C# is a simple, modern, object-oriented and type-safe programming language.
- F# is a cross-platform, open-source, functional programming language. It also includes object-oriented and imperative programming.
- Visual Basic is an approachable language with a simple syntax for building type-safe, object-oriented applications.
Cross-platform
- Whether you work in C#, F# or Visual Basic, your code will run natively on any compatible operating system.
- .NET Core is a cross-platform .NET implementation for website, server, and console applications on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Xamarin/Mono is an implementation that runs applications on all major mobile operating systems.
- The .NET framework supports websites, services, desktop applications, and more on Windows.
Consistent API
- Standards are the basis for a set of APIs that are common to all implementations. Each implementation may also expose additional APIs specific to the operating system it runs on. For example, the .NET Framework is a Windows-only implementation of .NET that includes APIs to access the Windows registry.
Application Model
- You can build many types of applications. Some are cross-platform, while others target specific OS or .NET implementations.
- Networking: Build network applications and services for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Docker.
- Mobile: Build native mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows using a single codebase.
- Desktop: Create beautiful and attractive desktop apps for Windows and macOS.
- Microservices: Create independently deployable microservices that run on Docker containers.
- Game Development: Develop 2D and 3D games for the most popular desktop, mobile and game consoles.
- Machine Learning: Add vision algorithms, speech processing, predictive models, and more to your applications.
- Cloud computing: Use existing cloud services, or create and deploy your own.
- IoT: Make IoT applications with native support for Raspberry Pi and other single-board computers.
