C# (pronounced “See Sharp”) is a powerful and versatile programming language developed by Microsoft. It’s widely used to create various software, from large-scale enterprise applications to web apps, mobile apps, and even games. C# is object-oriented, making code reusable and maintainable, and strongly typed, ensuring fewer errors. It also boasts modern features and integrates seamlessly with the .NET framework, offering a rich ecosystem of tools and libraries. Learning C# opens doors to diverse career opportunities due to its high demand and wide range of applications.
