CrystalTech Unveils .NET 3.5 Beta
Phoenix, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - July 24, 2007 - Windows web hosting provider, and Newtek Business Services company, CrystalTech Web Hosting, has developed a new beta version of Microsoft’s .NET framework, version 3.5.
While the upcoming release of Microsoft’s .NET framework contains several bug fixes and updates (so-called ”red bits”), it also brings a number of new assemblies and technologies (so called ”green bits”) that net developers have been waiting to get their hands on. These green bits include AJAX, LINQ for both C# and VB, and enhancements to the tool sets that will help ease building applications using Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation.
Robert Cichon, President of CrystalTech offered, ”CrystalTech prides itself as one of the premiere Microsoft partners specializing in Windows web hosting. We have been part of the Beta program with Microsoft and .NET since day one, and we were one of the first, if not THE first, to have a full-fledged web site management application based on the .NET framework. Our WebControlCenter is a prime example of the reliability, stability and security you can get when using the .NET framework.”
As with previous beta hosting plans CrystalTech offered, the plan based on .NET 3.5 will be free for a limited time. The Plan will offer enough disk space and bandwidth so that early adopters can get running on .NET 3.5 as quickly as possible. In addition, CrystalTech is considering offering .NET 3.5 on Windows Server 2008 and IIS7 as a separate beta Plan.
Mr. Cichon continued, ”The future is now. Even though Microsoft is still a few months away from having a release to market of its next generation server OS and platform, there’s no reason people can’t start seeing what is on the horizon. This is a great way for those who are unfamiliar with our reputation for providing first-rate hosting solutions with the highest levels of service and support to try us out. CrystalTech was founded by developers and for developers. Catering to that market and following that business plan has served us well for the past ten years; there’s no reason to stop now.”
CrystalTech will release the beta plan for public consumption by the end of July.
