Fundamentals Of Computer Programming With C
Fundamentals Of Computer Programming With C
This course is about programming. It is intended to teach you to think as a programmer, to write code, to think in data structures and algorithms and to solve problems.
We use C# and Microsoft .NET Framework (the platform behind C#) only as means for writing programming code and we do not scrutinize the language’s specifics.
Let’s give a short account of C# (pronounced "see sharp"). C# is a modern programming language for development of software applications. If the words "C#" and ".NET Framework" are unknown to you, you’ll learn in details about them and their connection in the next chapter. Now let’s explain briefly what C#, .NET, .NET Framework, CLR and the other technologies
related to C#. C# is a modern object-oriented, general-purpose programming language, created and developed by Microsoft together with the .NET platform. There is highly diverse software developed with C# and on the .NET platform: office applications, web applications, websites, desktop applications, mobile applications, games and many others. C# is a high-level language that is similar to Java and C++ and, to some extent, languages like Delphi, VB.NET and C. All C# programs are object-oriented. They consist of a set of definitions in classes that contain methods and the methods contain the program logic – the instructions which the computer executes. You will find out more details on what a class, a method and C# programs are in the next chapter. Nowadays C# is one of the most popular programming languages. It is used by millions of developers worldwide. Because C# is developed by Microsoft as part of their modern platform for development and execution of applications, the .NET Framework, the language is widely spread among Microsoft-oriented companies, organizations and individual developers. For better or for worse, as of this course, the C# language and the .NET platform are maintained and managed entirely by Microsoft and are not open to third parties. Because of this, all other large software corporations like IBM, Oracle and SAP base their solutions on the Java platform and use Java as their primary language for developing their own software products.
