The raspberry is basically just a computer.
It's really cheap 30$ or so, has an ARM processor and runs Linux (raspbian, a debian variant) it's powered by USB (so 5v) and uses a microSD as a disk

What I do is run the mono framework on raspbian, which is an open source implementation of the microsoft .net framework.
This allows me to develop in C# and Visual Studio.

The program I wrote uses nancyfx to host some webpages that makeup the graphics.. (using the Telerik kendoui controls) and read data from the serial.
