C# series 1.1b : What is c# ?

What is c# ?

  • C# is design to be a simple, modern, general - purpose, object - oriented programing language, borrowing key concepts from several other languages, mostly like java.
  • C# could theoretically be compiled to machine code, but in real life, its always used in combination with the .NET framework. Therefore, applications written in C#, requires the .NET framework to be installed on the computer running the application. While the .NET framework makes it possible to use a wide range of languages.
  • C# is an Object Orientd language and does not offer global variables or functions. Everything is wrapped in classes even simple types like int and string, which inherits from the System.Object class.
Tools for writing the code

  • The code can be written in any text editor like notepad and can be compiled with the C# command line compiler, csc.exe which is part of the .NET Framework.
  • The second and the most preferred choice is the use of IDE, for that Microsoft has its own product - Visual Studio, with express edition being available for free for developers and learners.
