Brief History

C# (pronounced “C sharp”) is a modern, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft as part of the .NET framework. It was first released in 2002 and has since become a popular choice for developing desktop applications, web applications, mobile apps, and video games.

C# is often compared to Java, and indeed, the two languages have many similarities. Both are object-oriented, strongly-typed, and designed to be platform-independent. However, C# has some features that set it apart, such as support for properties, delegates, and events, as well as more sophisticated support for garbage collection and memory management.

C# can be used to build a wide variety of applications, including desktop applications using Windows Forms or WPF, web applications using ASP.NET or ASP.NET Core, and mobile applications using Xamarin. C# can also be used to create games using popular game engines like Unity.
