Study C# Programming
This course gives students a thorough introduction to C#. By the end of the course, the student should be able to produce their applications using their understanding of the key C# concepts. Microsoft created the contemporary object-oriented language C sharp (C#).
Advantages of C#
- It is readable and simple (not all languages are as simple or readable)
- Working together produces more
- runs smoothly on a number of platforms
- versatile, all-purpose, and multi-paradigm
- runs smoothly on.NET

Why Study C#?
There are numerous varieties of programming languages. The most popular language for utilising the.NET Framework is C#. Hence, understanding C# serves as a launching pad for developing business systems, desktop applications, websites, and mobile apps.
The following benefits of C#:
- across a variety of platforms (desktop, mobile, web)
- Cross-platform and open source (using .NET 5)
- (For C++ and Java developers) Approachable
- centred on objects (with many functional features)
Since 2014, C# has been available as open source software, enabling the creation of console and web applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is a general-purpose language that can be used to create anything, including desktop applications, mobile apps for Android and iOS, games, and automation plugins using Microsoft’s PowerShell technology.
