What does the . mean in Microsoft .Net ?

Question

I would also like to know what the 2 in J2EE stands for?

Answer 1

Nothing. It's just a name. It comes from the way Internet addresses work, like answers. yahoo.com or aol.net. Microsoft .Net is networking technology, so they wanted a name that would evoke that feeling.

J2EE stands for Java 2 Enterprise Edition.

Java 2 is the currently used Java platform...in fact, they've dropped the "2" because it's been the current one for years.

It's a little confusing because the current version of Java is actually 5, but somewhere between 1 and 5, there was a big change in the architecture, and Sun called it Java 2 to indicate that it was much more powerful than the previous versions, but I forget what the version number at the time actually was.

Answer 2

Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) .NET has been widely heralded as the next big thing in the Internet world, but how this new technology will affect e-commerce is decidedly less clear.

According to some analysts, the answer is simple: not much. "Overall, it is going to be a nonevent for e-commerce," Giga Information Group analyst Andrew Bartels told the E-Commerce Times. ".NET is more at the infrastructure level than at the commerce level."
The 2 in the acronym J2EE stands for Version 2. As with many software applications, J2EE is Java Platform Version 2. Actually, the number 2 is often dropped

Answer 3

the dot means nothing on .net is just like a file type..
etg .html .php etc..
Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition or J2EE is a programming platform for developing and running distributed multi-tier architecture applications, based largely on modular components running on an application server. The J2EE platform is defined by a specification. J2EE is also considered informally to be a language or standard because providers must agree to certain conformance requirements in order to declare their products as J2EE compliant; albeit with no ISO or ECMA standard.
so the 2 means the 2nd version.

Answer 4

The "." was to help identify .Net as an Internet adaptable programming language. The 2 in J2EE simply signifies the 2nd version (or edition) of the Enterprise Edition of the Java platform.

and the second Q
Java 2 Platform Ent. Ed, 2 is here

Answer 7

i'll just add that the .Net environment makes internet applications more adaptive. It has greatly improved the development of internet applications by providing existing framework that developers just build upon, this means that the applications that are meant to do different things will be able to understand each other and coexist. lesser crashes due to incompartibilities etc since they are all built on thesame framework.
