.net is a British Internet magazine founded in 1994 and published monthly by Future Publishing.
The magazine is aimed at general internet users and Web designers, and a significant proportion of its readers are professional Web developers; a typical issue will include several features on internet issues (censorship, encryption, security), hardware and software reviews, Internet-related news, and a few irreverent items such as the best ways to waste time at work. The magazine's tutorials in (formerly ASP; no tutorials have been done in ASP in a while), PHP and other Web technologies have been particularly popular, and in 2004 the tutorial section was moved from the main body of the magazine, dubbed Web Builder, and bound separately. As a result, .net was sold with Web Builder as two magazines in the same package. However, due to negative response from the readership, .net assimmilated the Web Builder suppliment.
The magazine is slightly shorter and wider than most British magazines, and until quite recently placed artwork where one normally expects to find advertisements, such as the back page and inside covers. Artwork is still a key part of the magazine, and it features various digital artists' work in a dedicated section each month.
.net also noted for its dry sense of humour and its irreverent attitude, and the penultimate page every month is written by drew, developer of Toothpaste for Dinner.
