Generally osm is independent from yout programming language, as it's 
"just" the data in the database.

I guess you're talking about tiles. You may just get them from 
tile.openstreetmap.org, see 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy

To get a slippimap you can use OpenLayers, a free JavaScript 
implementation of a map browser. It can load data from remote servers 
(e.g. POI locations) and display them on the map. There are various 
formats supported.

tiles: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy
vector data: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6
individual searches: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Xapi or better 
your own database.
