C# Introduction

C# is a general-purpose, modern and object-oriented programming language pronounced as 'C sharp'. It was developed by Microsoft led by Anders Hejlsberg and his team within the .Net initiative and was approved by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) and International Standards Organization (ISO). C# is among the languages for Common Language Infrastructure and the current version of C# is version 7.2. C# is a lot similar to Java syntactically and is easy for the users who have knowledge of C, C++ or Java. What would you like to build? If you can name it, you can probably build it with C#. This programming language can be used to make interactive websites, mobile apps, video games, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), desktop applications, and back-end services – just to name a few. For example, the mobile game Pokemon Go and the Stack Overflow website were built with frameworks that can be run with C# (Unity and ASP.NET, respectively). Even if you already know a programming language, learning C# (pronounced “cee sharp”) can make you a better programmer.
