C# 4.0 - Ch:01 - A - Introduction

C#—pronounced "See Sharp"—is a programming language designed for Microsoft's .NET platform. C# is a general-purpose, type-safe, object-oriented programming language. The chief architect of the language since its first version is Anders Hejlsberg (creator of Turbo Pascal and architect of Delphi). The goal of C# is to provide a simple, safe, modern, object-oriented, Internet-centric, high-performance language for .NET development. C# was first announced in July 2000 with the announcement of the .NET platform by Microsoft. It was released in January 2002 with .NET framework 1.0. C# was first called "Cool" which stood for "C-like Object Oriented Language". C# is a strongly typed object-oriented language whose code visually resembles C++ (and Java). This decision by the C# language designers allows C++ developers to easily leverage their knowledge to quickly become productive in C#. C# syntax differs from C++ in some ways, but most of the differences between these languages are semantic and behavioral, stemming from differences in the runtime environments in which they execute. Covers the Common Language Runtime (CLR), Language Interoperability, Just-InTime (JIT) compiler, Platform Independence and Performance Improvement.
