 Are Web Forms Dying?!

 In February 2015 some blogs in some websites

has issued that MS company had stopped
supporting Web Forms, therefore there is no
more Web Forms

 But in fact, two days later MS has issued that it

will continue supporting Asp.Net web forms but
it is better to move to newer technologies such
as MVC

including
 web services
 web resources
 web APIs

Sites Services
Single
Web Web Web
Page MVC SignalR
Forms Pages API
Apps

ASP.NET

11
 Web Applications Framework

 Advantages of Web Applications
 Web applications just need to be installed only
on the web server, whereas desktop
applications need to be installed on every
computer, where you want to access them
 Maintenance, support and patches are easier
to provide
 Only a browser is required on the client
machine to access a web application
 Accessible from anywhere, provided there is
internet
 Cross-Platform, why?!

 Technologies to build Web Applications
 In addition to ASP.NET, there are other
technologies that can be used to build web
applications
 PHP
 Java
 CGI
 Ruby on Rails
 Perl
