.net is the Microsoft development environment and it supports several different languages. C# is the primary language in the .net world and is very similar to Java. There is also a .net framework for web sites and web applications called ASP.NET. Microsoft's MSDN site is a good place to find info about .net and there are some tutorial sites out there as well.

MS just announced they will be moving to an open source model for .net, so you can actually get the new dev tools (Visual Studio) for free now.
