Here is a nice little article about .NET and why maybe you should think twice about getting into it:

DeVryGuy:
.net is sort of a developing ideal. In fact it is the opposite of the Java Approach, one language to many OS, .Net is Many Languages to one OS. Basically let's say you are programming in C# and you get to a part of the program that you don't know how to write in C#, so you write it in VB instead. .Net allows that to work. The idea is programmers can have any area of specialty and work together on the same software project, but those projects will only work on the Windows platform, thus securing Microsoft's position in the market today

how is it a choice when you are programming in VB OR C#? last time i looked neither of those were real programming languages.

why would somebody be programming in that shit anyway? i think those people deserve to use windows!  :D

Now that's not fair. I'm making myself a MUD server with vb. I don't deserve to use windows. I wouldn't be if I weren't so far into this project. And I've always found C a bit harder when it comes to databases and socket connections. Never got it (yet, we'll keep hope).


As for what .net is, i'm still going with a TLD.

FINALY THE ANSWER!

.net basically turns all programming languages into a microsoft only scripting language.

c++.net
c.net
java.net
perl.net

etc etc.

i think it may have something to do with creating porthole websites where applications like MSword run in your webbrowser
