Programming Language C#

 

C# (pronounced "See Sharp") is a modern, object-oriented and type-safe programming language.

The origins of the C# programming language go back to 2002 when Java was on the rise and Microsoft was trying to push its solution. This approach didn't always work, but in the case of C#, we can say that the risk paid off. C# is thus based on Java and C++, a progressive, high-level object-oriented language that still tries to reflect current trends in programming. It's currently the fourth to fifth most widely used programming language, and its position continues to strengthen. In the early days, it was favoured by large enterprises and corporations who built their robust business solutions on top of it. As a result, software programmed in this language does not have to worry about losing support, as is seen with many "trendy" solutions that die out after a few years, and hard and expensive to develop programs have to be hard and expensive to program again. In addition, it takes advantage of the wide background of the .NET framework libraries (and other libraries from other companies), which makes development very cheaper and faster.

Recently, Microsoft came out with the .NET Core platform. So today it can be used almost everywhere. It's an open-source ecosystem, and .NET Core is a cross-platform solution that doesn't just target Microsoft, but also runs on Linux and Mac.

So where is C# most used in practice? That hasn't changed much since its early days. It's mostly for enterprise solution programs. From business management systems, to warehouse systems, to all sorts of ordering software. ASP.NET technology for web application development also plays a big role in practice. In most cases, these are mainly larger, more complex solutions that often consist of individual modules.
