I am utterly confused here. I see different jobs and stuff for .NET or c# or c++, etc. I thought they were all a part of .NET? Why for example, are the forums c# separated from c++, when they are both part of the same framework? I seriously can not wrap my head around this. If somebody says “I need some .NET work”, are they referring to any language within .NET, like c# and c++? Please help me!
