.NET is a programming platform – and can be said to be quite familiar to those working and learning about the software engineering industry. .NET is seen as an effective support platform because most of the software’s success has included .NET. However, we cannot ignore the usefulness of .NET Core – ‘close’ siblings to .NET as they were both born and developed by Microsoft. Briefly, one of the best scenarios where .Net Core can be applied across multiple platforms When your application requires running on multiple platforms such as Linux, Windows, and Mac OS.
So, in the countries specializing in .NET and .NET Core development in Asia – the continent has just started to be famous for its strengths in software technology, and more specifically, Vietnam. Thus, which is the best choice for businesses that need support for .NET and .NET Core-related projects? The answer will be in the following article, with the universality of knowledge going from the smallest points to the list of top 10 .NET and .NET Core development companies in Vietnam.
What is .NET as well as .NET Core
The .NET Framework is developed by Microsoft and runs mainly on the Windows operating system. There's also an open-source project - it's called Mono. Mono provides a cross-platform .NET Framework compatibility toolkit (such as runtime, C# compiler, etc.).
On the other hand, .NET Core is especially useful when it comes to processing software products related to cloud computing, or re-establishing cumbersome applications of organizations/businesses into small branched applications to serve users more effectively for more detailed purposes.
How to tell .NET & .NET Core apart?
In 2002, Microsoft officially launched the .NET Framework, which only works on Windows. In particular, the application platforms such as Winforms, WPF, ASP.NET (1-4) operate based on the .NET Framework.
11 years later, in 2013, Microsoft re-researched the market and made a cross-platform approach. From there, .NET Core was unveiled. .NET core is currently used in the Universal Windows platform and ASP.NET Core applications. The .NET Core is also considered a cross-platform of the original .NET framework, specifically used to develop websites, servers, and console apps on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
How .NET works
The correlation between .NET Core and .NET is probably the neutrality and innovation of .NET Core - the 'brother' developed by Microsoft. The .NET framework itself has several design principles that make it popular and trusted. Such as:
Interoperability: The .Net framework provides a great deal of mutual support.
Portability: Applications built on .Net framework can work on any Windows platform.
High Security: The .NET Framework has a security mechanism that is believed to be optimal and reliable.
‘Garbage collectors’: works efficiently and on a fixed schedule to free up storage resources, thereby creating memory comfort.
Then, when would Developers use .NET Core?
.NET Core itself is a cross-platform framework and is always open, free, and ready for multi-purposes. Developers, however, will need to use .NET Core when their products are related to cloud computing, or re-establish and adapt a large application of the organization into small service branching applications. can better serve the users/customers of the business.
Specifically, it provides Web user interfaces and Web APIs, which make it easy to combine different client-side frameworks. The separate Web API and MVC are now unified. However, there are still specific applications that .NET Core does not support such as WPF, Win Forms, and SignalR.
In fact, .NET Core is becoming more and more popular because of the main reasons, which can be summarized below:
- When your application needs to run on many different platforms
- When it comes to Microservices
- When required flexibility for containers.
- When the product requires more flexible expansion in the future
- When the command-line interface (CLI) is promoted and plays a key role
What makes Vietnam a reliable destination for .NET and .NET Core development?
CIO magazine suggests that software outsourcing in Vietnam saves up to 90% of costs, compared with software development in the United States. Even better, when compared to India, software development in Vietnam is 1/3 to 1/7 times cheaper. In fact, outsourcing in Vietnam is being recognized as a cost-effective, high-quality software development solution in Asia. More specifically, for products using .NET and .NET Core frameworks, Vietnam is also an ideal outsourcing destination thanks to its solid and rapid software development industry foundation over the past 10 years.
Young dynamic human resources
The workforce also has a much lower turnover and stability than most countries operating in other outsourcing sectors. To talk about one of the factors that make Vietnam a reliable destination, we must talk about a young, enthusiastic, and highly specialized workforce.

Advanced talent pool
With a workforce at a young age and still highly capable of dedication, Vietnam has confidently promoted education and developed software technology. Thus, it can be said that Vietnam has gradually asserted its responsiveness to the technology industry worldwide, then, become one of the most trusted offshore software outsourcing destinations.
Flexibly competitive Price
Since the main goal of outsourcing is to reduce costs, countries with more competitive outsourcing costs will naturally gain the upper hand when any business thinks about this option.
Currently, the primary location for outsourcing in the world is India. However, if considered within the reasonable price range, a Vietnamese developer has a cost of 30% lower than an Indian developer, accompanied by products of equivalent high quality and capacity power is not inferior.
