What is ASP.NET MVC?

MVC (Model-View-Controller) is a software architectural pattern based on the concept of separation of concerns (SoC) where each software component is responsible for a particular functionality that is independent from the functionalities of other components. The MVC pattern is mostly used with business applications, where the model represents the entities, rules, and constraints of the business domain, the view is responsible for acquiring and displaying information for the user, while the controller is responsible to control the interactions between the models and the views. Software systems designed with the MVC pattern are reliable, flexible and maintainable; the separation of concerns makes the system component loosely coupled and independent from one another.

ASP.NET is a technology used to build web applications, it’s developed and maintained by Microsoft® corporation, the ASP.NET is developed and customized specifically for business applications, providing great performance, high levels of security and extensibility. The MVC pattern is heavily integrated within the ASP.NET framework, making it a perfect choice for developing line of business (LOB) applications, with the introduction of ASP.NET 5, websites can run under Windows®, Linux, and OS X.

What is SQL server?

SQL server ® is a relation database management system (DBMS) developed and maintained by Microsoft® corporation, it provides support for very large databases and works very efficiently on Microsoft Windows Servers by processing queries in parallel, SQL server databases can be backed up, either incrementally or completely while the database is in use making it available up to 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it can also be integrated with the Windows Server operating system security to provide a single log on to the network and the database.

SQL Server has an automatic recovery mechanism that recovers a database to the last state of consistency in a matter of minutes, it also supports atomic transactions with transaction logging, which guarantees that all changes performed within a transaction are either committed or rolled back.

SQL server also supports stored procedures and triggers to centralize and share application logic, business rules and policies, complex queries, and data validation and referential integrity on the server, rather than on the client.

What is Java?

Java is a general-purpose cross-platform computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation and dependencies as possible, it’s heavily used to produce variety of applications and software systems, including web applications, Cross-platform mobile apps and many other applications.

Java was designed on the principle of “write once, compile anywhere” therefore programs written with Java run similarly on any combination of hardware and operating system with adequate runtime support.

Java offers high levels of security by running each application inside its own sandbox, called Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which also contributes to the stability of Java applications.

What is Cloud computing?

Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer, there are several advantages associated with using cloud computing:

• Flexibility: scale up and down to meet your business needs.
• Security: data in the cloud is much more secure than personal computers or unsecured server rooms.
• Capacity: there’s no need for specialized IT administrators.
• Cost: using cloud technology reduces maintenance costs. No more servers, software, and update fees, many of the hidden costs typically associated with software implementation, customization, hardware, maintenance, and training are rolled into a transparent subscription fee.
• Open: Internet standards and web services allow services to connect to each other, therefore information can be centralized and accessed from anywhere in the world, on any computer or mobile device, at any time.
