CLI (Common Language Infrastructure)
Common language infrastructure (CLI) is an international standard from Microsoft for developing software. It defines a set of rules that determine how programs written in different languages can interoperate. This means different programming languages can be used to create software that will run on the same computer.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About CLI (Common Language Infrastructure)
Standardization of this kind is essential for SMBs because it allows them to use the best programming languages for their needs without worrying about compatibility issues. Businesses can take advantage of the CLI to create a common software infrastructure used by different departments or divisions within the company. This will allow them to share code and development resources, leading to cost savings. With CLI, businesses can also hire programmers with different skills since they will work together using a standard set of tools.
