    Study Notes

    Introduction to C#

    • C# is an object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft.
    • Created under Anders Hejlsberg in 2000 as part of the .NET initiative.
    • Aims to provide a modern, efficient, and secure language, improving upon C++ and Java.

    Key Versions and Features of C#

    • C# 1.0 (2002): Introduced core object-oriented principles, garbage collection, and familiarity with C/C++ syntax.
    • C# 2.0 (2005): Added generics, anonymous methods, and iterators for better code flexibility.
    • C# 3.0 (2007): Introduced LINQ for data querying and lambda expressions for concise programming.
    • C# 4.0 (2010): Focused on interoperability with dynamic languages using dynamic types and optional parameters.
    • C# 5.0 (2012): Revolutionized asynchronous programming with async/await facilities.
    • C# 6.0 (2015): Improved syntax with features like auto-property initializers, null-conditional operators, and string interpolation.
    • C# 7.0 and 7.1 (2017): Enhanced expressiveness with tuples, pattern matching, and local functions.
    • C# 8.0 (2019): Introduced nullable reference types for better null safety and asynchronous streams.
    • C# 9.0 (2020): Focused on immutability with records and init-only properties.
    • C# 10.0 (2021): Reduced boilerplate with global usings and record structs.
    • C# 11.0 (2022): Enhanced usability with raw string literals and generic math.

    Development Environment Setup

    • Visual Studio: Comprehensive IDE with robust features including code editing, debugging, and version control.
    • Visual Studio Code: Lightweight, customizable IDE with support for C# development through extensions.
    • .NET Core and .NET 5+: Cross-platform framework enabling C# usage on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

    Basic Structure of a C# Program

    • Must include a namespace for organization, a class as its building block, and a Main method as the entry point.
    • Example components:
      • using System: Imports essential classes.
      • namespace HelloWorldApp: Groups classes to avoid conflicts.
      • class Program: Defines a new class encapsulating methods.
      • static void Main(string[] args): Designates the program's starting point.

    Various Operators in C#

    • Arithmetic Operators: Standard mathematical functions.
    • Comparison Operators: Used to compare values.
    • Logical Operators: Control flow and logic conditions.
    • Conditional Statements: Executes specific code blocks based on conditions.
    • Switch Statements: Provides a streamlined way to handle multiple conditions.

    Summary of C# Syntax Features

    • C# is case-sensitive, differentiating between identifiers like 'main' and 'Main'.
    • Ongoing updates include enhancements for performance and support for functional programming paradigms.

    Modern Use and Future of C#

    • Continues to evolve in enterprise applications, web development (via ASP.NET), mobile app development (Xamarin), and game development (Unity).
    • Future developments focus on functional programming features and maintaining competitiveness in modern programming languages.
