The emerging world of IT is bringing up a lot of job opportunities for IT professionals. As Microsoft’s .NET development environment is expanding, the number of job openings is increasing as well. To prove to you that there is a great demand for .NET in the marketplace as it continues to be one of the most popular technologies, stay with us by the end of this article, and find a job listing @VentivoGroup that may be of interest. 

Before talking about what makes you a good .NET Developer, let’s better understand the .NET development environment

.NET is one of the most popular frameworks and is poised to stay that way in the foreseeable future. But why has it become so popular in recent years? Here are 3 reasons:

  1. High Speed

Websites and applications built using .NET tend to be faster. This is because .NET applications are compiled and not interpreted and that this tends to be faster than interpreted code (used in PHP) because translated code needs to be read first before it is executed.

  1. More control over the code

.NET uses Object Oriented languages like VB.NET, C++, and C#. The primary advantage of oriented languages is that the code tends to be more granular. It also lends itself more easily to testing and reuse. 

Nowadays, the ASP.NET MVC has grown in popularity, replacing other frameworks in the professional field. It’s an open-source software that provides access to client-side technologies, which allows .NET developers to produce software quickly and efficiently. So, knowing how to operate ASP.NET MVC will get you some great opportunities on the job market right now. 

  1. Variety of applications

Microsoft has always tried to provide developers with the right tools for developing. Today .NET supports a wide variety of applications: from cross-platform responsive web applications and 3D games, to enterprise applications and cloud-enabled apps. And if you want to have a good resume, one that will impress every company, earn a certification. A certification can test your technical skills and show everybody that you have specialized training as a .NET developer. Consider the Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MSCD) endorsement and the Microsoft MVP (Most Valued Professional) endorsement. We, at Ventivo, try to help all our colleagues to get their certifications!

A good .Net Developer is a technical superhero & problem-solver

Especially in this always changing environment, a good .NET Developer is a constant learner, one who likes to be around smart and experienced people, knowing that this is how they get better. A good .NET Developer is someone who can deep dive technically and solve complex business problems, always thinking about finding the solution instead of complaining about the situation. Someone who is always open to other ways of doing things, understanding the business objectives and their key role in its growth. Lastly, a good .NET Developer is also someone who has the following tech requirements:

  1. Strong C# web development experience
  2. Web and Backend
  3. Web API
  4. MVC
  5. .NET Core

Besides the technical skills, you have to became a business growth master

Although .NET has been around for more than 15 years, it continues to be one of the most relevant and commonly used frameworks in software development. It has evolved tremendously since it was first released by Microsoft in 2002 and is becoming increasingly popular. But besides being a technical #superhero, a good .NET Developer must have also some other skills:

  1. listens to the customer and asks enough questions to know what they want to accomplish.
  2. explains what they’re going to do and has the patience, the diplomacy and the communication skills to answer all the customers’ questions in terms that they can understand. A good .NET Developer needs to be able to take the ideas, requirements, and requests of nontechnical individuals and be able to understand their needs and what they’re requesting to create a solution.
  3. gives a reasonable (i.e., reasonably accurate) estimate of the cost and time to do a project. And, also, respects it.  
  4. is self-driven and self-motivated
  5. is a good colleague and has people skills: works well with the customer’s team, as well as, other programmers and colleagues. Also, incredibly important: doesn’t talk down to people who are just learning how to programme.
