With the introduction of v11 last year, Alpha Five began supporting the .NET Framework. This means that .NET developers can create data-driven business applications for the web and mobile web in the fastest, most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. Recently, we spoke to a number of these developers about their journey to Alpha Five and the game-changing applications that they are now able to build.

See examples of Alpha Five's integration with .NET at our blog.

Charles Anderson demonstrates Alpha Five v11/.NET integration where an external web server is called with one of his recent applications.

• Distributed programming: Using the .NET Framework, you can consume existing XML Web services written in any language, wrapped as function calls in Xbasic. Alpha supplies function calls that make constructing a wrapper class for a Web service trivial.
• System integration: Many Microsoft products have .NET APIs, and you are able to use them from Alpha Five's Xbasic. In addition, many useful .NET libraries and classes are available, and you can easily use them as part of your Alpha Five applications.
