Full Version: What Do You Mean By .net(dotnet)?
.net = network provider in Internet addresses as you know I'm sure.
However ".NET" = one of several comprehensive software development platforms from Microsoft, introduced starting in 2000 as the company's next generation programming environment. Pronounced "dot-NET"
E.g. Microsoft provides several .NET languages, including C# (C Sharp), J# (J Sharp), Managed C++, JScript.NET and Visual Basic.NET (or VB.NET).

As Koan said with programming references, '.net' is also used to refer to websites. Heres a list:
.com = company
.net = network
.edu = education (al)
.gov = government
Then you have such abbrevations as .fr etc. Those stand for the country.
.fr = france
Im sure if you Google it, there will be many more.
