Introduction to C# Programming

Welcome to the world of C# programming! In this lesson, we will provide an overview of the C# programming language and its features.

C# (pronounced C sharp) is a modern, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft. It is widely used for developing Windows desktop applications, web applications, and games.

C# is part of the .NET framework, a powerful and versatile platform for building all kinds of applications. The .NET framework provides a rich set of libraries and tools for developers to create robust and efficient software solutions.

One of the key features of C# is its simplicity and ease of use. It has a clean and readable syntax that makes it easy for beginners to learn and understand. However, C# is also a powerful language with advanced features and capabilities that allow experienced developers to build complex and sophisticated applications.

Let's start by looking at a simple C# program:

TEXT/X-CSHARP
1class Program {
2    static void Main(string[] args) {
3        Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
4    }
5}

In this program, we define a class called Program with a Main method. The Main method is the entry point of a C# program, and it is where the program execution begins. Inside the Main method, we use the Console.WriteLine method to output the message "Hello, world!" to the console.

Now that you have a basic understanding of C# programming, let's dive deeper into the language and explore its various features and concepts.
