      C# Programming Illustrated Guide For Beginners & Intermediates - William Sullivan

      Chapter 1 - Introduction

      C# is the Microsoft’s premier language for software development. Microsoft developed C# between 1999 and 2002. In the year 2002, the first version of C# was released to the general public as an integral part of the .NET framework. Since then C# has taken over Visual Basic as the default language of choice for .NET programmers.

      C# is one of the most powerful programming languages on the planet. Fully object-oriented and strongly typed, C# is currently being used for web development as backend language for ASP.NET web development framework. It is also widely being as backend language for Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Framework applications. In the world of mobile application development, C# is ruling the Windows Phone development arena.

      Salient Features of C#

      Following are some of the most important features that make C# so powerful and versatile:

      1.  Object-Oriented Language

      C# is 99.9% object oriented. Like Java, apart from the primitive data types, everything in C# is an object. An object has some properties and can perform some functions. We will see object-oriented programming in detail in a future chapter. For now, just remember that it is the object-oriented programming owing to which C# is modular and maintainable.

      2.  Strongly Types

      C# is a strongly typed language which means that you have to specify the type of data before the program compiles. This is also known as type-safety, which makes C# applications more robust and less prone to run-time errors.

      3.  Automatic Garbage Collection

      In C#, the garbage collection is performed automatically. After a certain amount of time, .NET framework runs garbage collector automatically which removes all the unused objects and dangling pointers from the memory.

      4.  Easy to Learn

      Unlike C or C++, which are considered mid-level programming languages, C# is very high level. Most of the functionalities that require careful handling in C or C++ such as pointers and memory management are handled by default in C#. You can literally set yourself up and write a C# program in less than 10 minutes.

      5.  Application Range

      Since C# is Microsoft’s premier programming language, almost every Microsoft technology depends upon it. For instance, ASP.NET framework runs C# as backend language, Windows Phone development also utilizes C# and, Windows Form and Windows Presentation Framework (WPF) also depend heavily on C#.

      6.  Part of Visual Studio

      Microsoft’s Visual Studio is one of the most widely used IDEs in the world and C# is the part of Visual Studio languages which highlights the importance and power of the language.

      7.  Huge Developer Community

      C# has a huge developer community. You can get help almost immediately about any problem that you might face during C# development. On www.stackoverflow.com, C# has the 4th largest community. Not to mention that www.stackoverflow.com was also developed using C#.

      In short, C# has everything that it takes to become a professional programmer.  Enough of the theory, in the next section, we will install the environment that we are going to use to run our application.

      Environment Setup

      Ideally, to run the C# application, you should have a window machine with .NET framework installed. However, for the starters, I would recommender simply downloading the latest version of Visual Studio, which installs everything that you need to run your C# programs. Visual studio is the first choice IDE for C#.

      The latest version of the visual studio can be downloaded here. Once you open the link, you should see the following interface:

      Visual Studio comes in three versions: Community, Professional, and Enterprise. The Community version is free of cost while the Professional and Enterprise versions are not free. For the sake of this book, we will only use the Community version. To download the community version, you only need Microsoft account which you can create for free if you do not already have. Visual Studio installation is very straightforward and can be done with few clicks of the mouse.

      Running Your First Program

      Follow these steps to run your first C# program.

      Open Visual Studio. You can do so by searching Visual Studio at the windows search box as shown below:

      From the top menu, select File -> New -> Project. Look at the following screenshot for reference.

      You will see a list of different types of programs that you can create with C#.  Select Console App (.NET Framework), give any name to your application, I named it MyProgram. Click OK button.

      You will see a window where you can write C# code. Write the following code in the window and press the green triangle with label Start, from the top menu. I will explain what is happening later.

      Once you execute the script above, you will see that a console window, like the command line, will appear that will contain the message Congratulations, you wrote your first Program as shown below:

      Now let’s see what is actually happening. Take a look at the code that we wrote:

      using System;

      using System.Collections.Generic;

      using System.Linq;

      using System.Text;

      using System.Threading.Tasks;

      namespace MyProgram

      {

      class Program

      {

      static void Main(string[] args)

      {

      Console.WriteLine(Congratulations, you wrote your first Program);

      Console.ReadKey();

      }

      }

      }

      The using statements at the top of the code are used to import any libraries. Libraries are basically set of pre-built functions that we can directly use in our code. Every code snippet in C# has to be inside a class which in turn lies inside a namespace. In the script above our class name is Program and it lies inside the MyProgram namespace.

      Inside the Program class, we have method Main whose return type is void and method type is static. This is the starting point of our code. Do not worry much about the terms void and static at the moment. We will see these terms in detail in a later chapter. For now, just remember that the Main method is the starting point of C# code.

      Next, we write a simple line on the screen. To do so, we used WriteLine method of the Console  class and passed it the text that we wanted to display on the console window. Finally, we used the ReadKey method of the Console class so that our console window doesn’t disappear immediately after printing the text. And that’s pretty much it. Congratulations on successfully executing your first program.

      Conclusion

      C# is one of the most frequently used programming languages in the world. In this chapter, we studied some of the salient features of C# followed by the environment setup. To get our feet wet, we actually ran a very small program to see how C# program executes. In the next chapter, we will start our discussion about Data types in C#.

      Chapter 2 – Variables and Data Types

      Type safety is one of the most important features of C# language. In C#, the type of the data is specified at compile time which makes the application robust. In this chapter, we will see how C# handles a variety of data ranging from numbers to texts and dates to Boolean. However, before that, we will define what is a variable is.

      Variable

      A variable in C# is a code feature that is used to store data that is changed repeatedly. A variable in C# is similar to the variable in Mathematics to which a new value can be assigned, updated and deleted. Normally a variable is used to store data
