The discussion highlights confusion surrounding the .NET framework and its relationship with programming languages like C#. Participants express frustration over the lack of in-depth learning about .NET, noting that the focus has been more on high-level overviews rather than practical application. Key points include the understanding that .NET is essential for running applications, often requiring users to download it. Comparisons are made between C# and Java, with .NET being described as a collection of libraries that facilitate application development across various platforms, including mobile, web, and desktop. The distinction between .NET framework and .NET platform is also acknowledged, though not fully clarified. Overall, there is a call for clearer explanations and practical insights into how .NET operates and its functionalities.

As you can see we are not learning the real programming but high level overview of what .NET does. The textbook that I have (which isn't a official textbook but a solution manual forced to buy by teachers)

It is pretty confusing. What are the things that it does?
The only time I have encountered .NET is while trying to run applications, it asks for "download .NET".

Some are saying C# uses dotnet and sth. It is just confusing me. Some saying it is like java, in what sense? And there is .NET framework, .NET platform. One thing that I have somehow managed to enter my mind is that it helps to make applications for mobile, web, desktop and anything you want. (Not sure how it does by just 1 .NET.)

The below are the slides given by our professor

C# is a language similar to java.
.NET is a set of libraries similar to the libraries that are provided or can be downloaded when developing with java.
 

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
