2. WHAT IS ASP.NET ?
“Asp.net is an open source server-side Web application
framework designed for Web development to produce
dynamic Web pages. It was developed by Microsoft to allow
programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications
and web services.”
Source: wikipedia

3. WHYTHIS PRESENTATION ?
“ASP.NET is in the process of being re-implemented as a modern and
modular web framework, together with other frameworks like Entity
Framework.
The new framework will make use of the new open-source .NET
Compiler Platform (code-name "Roslyn") and be cross platform.
ASP.NET MVC,ASP.NET Web API, and ASP.NET Web Pages (a platform
using only Razor pages) will merge into a unified MVC 6.
The project is called "ASP.NET vNext”

A big change is coming
