I've found that the understood meaning of .NET has changed from when the term was first defined by Microsoft. Originally it meant the C# language and the multi-language library that it employed. Now it means specifically the parts of that library that are used for server applications.
- dragonwriter 5y agoEh, I hear people talk about .NET desktop apps all the time and they are understood quite well. .NET (and, frankly, everything that isn't HTML/CSS/JS) may be less used outside of backend use than was once the case, but I don't think .NET is conventionally understood to be backend-specific in any general sense.
- mark-r 5y agoPerhaps that's still true in casual conversation, but in the hiring world .NET appears to be about server applications exclusively. At least in my observations.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agoYeah when I see anything .NET related, it's always backend or fullstack oriented positions.
