C# For Beginners - Nathan Metzler
Words
1. Introduction
C#, pronounced as C-Sharp is a general purpose object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft. It supports multiple paradigms. Programming paradigms are used to classify programming languages based on their features. Microsoft initially developed C# as a part of the .NET framework for developing Windows applications but today, several alternate implementations exist for Linux and Mac OS. Some of the major alternate implementations are DotGNU and Mono. In this eBook, we will be focusing on C# .NET implementation on Windows.
C# is quite simple and modern. It is very easy to learn. Knowing some programming language such as C or C++ before learning C# is recommended.
1.1 Potential of C#
Being a general-purpose programming language, C# can be used to develop anything such as simple console applications, desktop applications with graphical user interface, video games, web applications and cloud computing applications. In fact, there is a good chance that some of the applications that you use in Windows may have been developed in C#.
Mobile applications can also be developed in C# using a cross-platform framework called Xamarin. Because it is a cross-platform framework, a single application developed in Xamarin can be deployed across Android and iOS. Video Game development can also be done in C# using SDKs such as Xenko and Unity.
2. Getting Started
Although C# can be used to develop applications on Windows, Linux, and macOS, we will be focusing on Windows application development. In Windows, C# applications run within the .NET framework.
2.1 Introduction to .NET framework
.NET Framework is a software framework by Microsoft, initially intended for Windows operating systems but now has expanded into a family of mobile computing, embedded devices, etc. This framework offers language interoperability which means, one programming language can use code written in another programming language. For example, an application written in C# can make use of code written in C++. This is especially useful when developing native code or performance critical code.
Applications written for .NET framework execute in a software environment called Common Language Runtime (CLR) which is an application virtual machine. Native applications, like the ones written in C execute in a hardware environment where the compiler generates machine level code. Execution of C# applications is quite different from this approach.
.NET framework is present by default in almost all Windows operating systems.
2.2 Installation
To develop C# applications, we will be using Microsoft Visual Studio. It is an all in one Integrated Development Environment (IDE) used to develop desktop applications, web applications, etc. Visual Studio is available free of cost for non-commercial use. Visit https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/, download the installation file and execute it. Once the installer loads, select .NET desktop development and click Install.
You could be reading this book when a different version of Visual Studio is released which has a different installation interface. In such a case, select the installation as close to this one which allows C# development.
The installation process is straightforward and will also install the appropriate version of the .NET framework in case it is missing. This is how the installation process is going to look like:
