One of .NET’s most compelling features is its language flexibility. Unlike some other platforms, .NET supports multiple programming languages, including popular options like C#, Python, and VB.NET. This versatility allows developers to choose the language that best fits their project requirements and personal preferences, ensuring optimal productivity and code quality. Another significant advantage of .NET is its seamless integration with the broader Microsoft ecosystem. Whether you're leveraging Azure cloud services, using Visual Studio for development, or relying on other Microsoft tools and technologies, .NET offers unparalleled compatibility and interoperability. This integration streamlines development workflows, enhances collaboration across teams, and maximizes the value of your existing Microsoft investments. |

Platform Highlights
Built on .NET
.NET is a technology, developed by Microsoft and deeply integrated with the Windows ecosystem, which is widely used in many industrial settings. This technology makes it easier to build applications that work seamlessly with existing infrastructure as it installs side by side on your computer and will never cause a lockup, with significant performance that often outperforms Java in various benchmarks and allows you to deploy the application runtime to multiple types of hardware platforms and operating systems.
Completely Integrated Tools
Tatsoft offers a comprehensive suite of integrated tools, the FrameworX architecture enables you to develop in a single environment and deploy the necessary components from the server to the edge, based on your requirements. The architecture provides a more flexible and scalable solution for automation and control applications, allowing faster development, simplified maintenance, and enhanced adaptability to changing requirements
