C#
Modern, object-oriented programming language
C# is a modern, type-safe, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft. It's designed for building robust applications on the .NET platform.
Why Choose C#?
Type Safety
Strong typing system prevents many common programming errors at compile time
Garbage Collection
Automatic memory management eliminates memory leaks and dangling pointers
Cross-Platform
Run on Windows, macOS, and Linux with .NET Core/.NET 5+
Rich Ecosystem
Extensive .NET ecosystem with NuGet packages and frameworks
What Can You Build with C#?
Web Development
Very HighServer-side web applications and APIs with ASP.NET
Desktop Applications
HighWindows desktop applications and cross-platform apps
Game Development
Very HighGame development with Unity engine
Enterprise Software
Very HighLarge-scale business applications and services
C# Code Example
Hello World & Basic Class Example
// Hello World using System; class Program { static void Main() { Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!"); } } // Basic Class Example using System; public class Person { // Properties (C# feature) public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } // Constructor public Person(string name, int age) { Name = name; Age = age; } // Method public void Introduce() { Console.WriteLine($"Hi, I'm {Name} and I'm {Age} years old."); } } class Program { static void Main() { Person person = new Person("Alice", 25); person.Introduce(); } } // Modern C# with LINQ using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections.Generic; class Program { static void Main() { List<int> numbers = new List<int> { 5, 2, 8, 1, 9 }; // LINQ query to filter and sort var result = numbers .Where(n => n > 3) .OrderBy(n => n) .ToList(); // Print results result.ForEach(Console.WriteLine); } }
