No more be a novice or dummy in C# programming. Start the fun learning NOW in the easiest way ever!

C# is a server side object oriented programming language, pronounced as C Sharp. It enables


developers and programmers to develop robust applications and programs to run within the .Net
Framework. It was developed by Microsoft development team which was led by Anders Hejlsberg.
What can I create or develop using C#?
You cannot only create simple programs and applications using C#, but can do a lot more than that. With
the help of C#, you can create:
Windows Client Applications
Distributed Components
XML Web Services
Database Applications
Client-Server Applications
Web Applications
The list does not end here. You can do a lot more than these. Since C# is a part of the .Net framework, it
is a widely used professional language. Other reasons that make it possible are because C# is:
A Structured Language
Easy to Learn
Object-Oriented
Server-Side Language (widely used these days)
A language that produces efficient programs
Platform Independent
Logic behind C Sharp
Programmers believe in logic wherever they go. They believe that there is logic behind everything
existing around them. So, similarly there is a very apt logic behind the name C Sharp. Ever wondered
why they named it this way? C Sharp is a musical notation every musician is familiar about. Sharp
indicates that the node written should be made a semitone higher in pitch. The Sharp symbol even
indicates that this language is an increment of C++ since the symbol has a ligature of four + signs in a
2x2 grid.
Important Features of C#
Apart from the general features that C# has which include robustness, platform independency, easy to
learn, there are other core and strong features as well that make it endearing to multiple programmers
worldwide. These features are:
Automatic Garbage Collection
Standard Library
Properties and Events
Assembly Versioning
Delegates and Events Management
Easy-to-use Generics
Indexers
Simple Multithreading
Integration with Windows
LINQ (Provides built-in query capabilities) and Lambda Expressions
