Learn C#

C# (pronounced "C sharp") is a high-level, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft as part of its .NET initiative. It was first introduced in 2000 as a modern alternative to languages like C++ and Java. C# is designed to be simple, modern, and easy to learn, while still offering powerful features for building a wide range of applications. C# is commonly used for developing desktop applications, web applications (using ASP.NET), mobile apps (using Xamarin), games (using Unity3D), and many other types of software. It has a large and active community, with extensive documentation, tutorials, and support available for developers.

Key features of C#:
  • Object-Oriented: C# fully supports object-oriented programming principles.
  • Component-Oriented: C# promotes building reusable components and libraries for large-scale applications.
  • Rich Standard Library: C# has access to the powerful .NET Framework (or .NET Core), which provides a vast array of libraries.
  • Automatic Memory Management: C# uses a Garbage Collector (GC) to handle memory allocation and deallocation.
  • Type Safety: C# ensures type safety, meaning that variables are strongly typed, and conversions are checked at compile time.
  • Asynchronous Programming: C# has built-in support for asynchronous programming with the async and await keywords.
  • LINQ (Language-Integrated Query): C# introduces LINQ, which allows querying collections of objects using SQL-like syntax.
  • Cross-Platform Support: With .NET Core and .NET 5/6/7, C# can run on Windows, Linux, macOS, and most other platforms.
  • Interoperability: C# can interact with other languages and technologies, it has built-in support for COM (Component Object Model).
