Like coding languages, the needs of programmers evolve over time. What was once revolutionary is now well, dated. Like that old Toyota Corolla on the neighbor's lawn, Visual Basic, C and C++ provided reliable transportation, but lack some of the features that people look for in modern programming languages.
Developers have wished there was a language that was easy to write, read, and maintain like Visual Basic, but provided the power and flexibility of C++. For those developers, the new C# language is here. In fact the .Net framework itself is written using C#. Microsoft has built C# with type-safety, garbage collection, simplified type declarations, versioning and scalability support, and lots of other features that make developing solutions faster and easier, especially for COM+ and Web Services. C# is the best language from Microsoft for writing Windows-based programs for enterprise computing. C# offers several key benefits for programmers:
- Simplicity
- Consistency
- Modernity
- Object-Orientation
- Type-Safety
- Scalability
- Version Support
- Compatibility
- Flexibility
All of this translates to software that is consistent, interoperable and cutting edge: making it easier to use and helping to reduce the cost of writing and maintaining code, which frees up investment for innovations that drive new business value. We can spend more time adding value and productivity to your business.
