.net (magazine)
Encyclopedia : N : NE : NET : .net (magazine)
.net is a British Internet magazine founded in 1994 and published monthly by Future Publishing. It is sold under the name Web Builder in the USA.
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 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 ASP (formerly; 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 reintegrated the Web Builder supplement.
.net is currently edited by Dan Oliver. Past editors include Paul Douglas, Dave Taylor, Richard Longhurst and Lisa Jones.
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.
