What is C#?

    C#, pronounced as C Sharp, is an object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft in the early 2000s, led by Anders Hejlsberg. It is part of the .Net framework and is intended to be a simple general-purpose programming language that can be used to develop different types of applications, including console, windows, web and mobile applications. Like all modern programming languages, C# code resembles the English language which computers are unable to understand. Therefore, C# code has to be converted into machine language using what is known as a compiler (refer to footnote). The compiler that we’ll be using in this book is the free Visual Studio Community 2015 provided by Microsoft.

Why Learn C#?

    C# has syntax and features that resemble other programming languages like Java and C++. As such, if you have any prior programming experience, you will find learning C# a breeze. Even if you are totally new to programming, C# is designed to be easy to learn (unlike C or C++) and is a great first language to learn. In addition, C# is part of the .Net framework. 

    This framework includes a large library of pre-written code that programmers can use without having to write everything from scratch. This allows programmers to rapidly develop their everything from scratch. This allows programmers to rapidly develop their applications in C#, making C# the ideal language to work with if you are on a tight schedule.
