 Software developers use .NET languages like C# and F# to write source code. Each line of code they write expresses an instruction or command the computer should perform while the program is running.
 
-Before software developers can run their code, they must first compile it. The *.NET compiler* is a program that converts the source code (in any supported programming language) into a portable language called *intermediate language* (IL).  The .NET compiler saves the IL code into a file called a *.NET assembly*. By compiling the code into an intermediate format, you can use the same code base wherever you run the code, whether on Windows or Linux, or on 32-bit or 64-bit computer hardware.

 > [!TIP]
-> Sometimes people think that the C# programming language *is* .NET. However, C# and .NET are distinct. C# is a programming language syntax. As part of the syntax, you can reference and call methods defined in .NET code libraries, or *assemblies*. Next, you'll use the C# compiler that's installed with the .NET SDK to create a .NET assembly from your C# code. The .NET runtime then runs the .NET assemblies. These distinctions are important concepts as you learn more about .NET and C#.

 ### Use .NET application frameworks and libraries to harness prebuilt functionality
 
 All software is built in layers, meaning software runs at various levels of abstraction on a computer:
-- At the lowest level, software communicates directly with your computer's hardware. It controls the flow of data on the motherboard, processors, memory, and hard drives.

 - At the next level, application frameworks and libraries of functionality allow you to quickly build rich applications with less effort than older development methods.
