Hey everyone,

Today I will be explaining the basics of the C# language. I will be using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 but all the code should work in Microsoft C# 2008 Express Edition which can be downloaded here.

C# is a language developed by Microsoft and is more of a colaboration of other languages than completely unique. It takes concepts from, among others, C, C++ and Java. It uses a "curly brace"({}) syntax which is easy to understand and use. In essence it takes the good bits from other languages and use them to support the downfalls of other languages to create a well rounded, simple to understand, and powerful language. For more information you can read the wikipedia entry here.

In this tutorial I will be showing how to create basic console programs as these are a lot simpler to understand at first and have less to do with design properties and the likes. I hope you all enjoy learning C# with me.

If your ready continue on to the next page.
