C# — Introduction

What is C#?

C# ("C sharp") is Microsoft's modern language, built for the .NET platform. It runs Windows apps, web APIs, cloud services — and Unity, the engine behind roughly half of all mobile games.

Think of it as Java's cousin: similar structure, similar philosophy, very pleasant tooling.

Hello, world

using System;

class Program {
    static void Main() {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
    }
}

(With newer .NET versions this shrinks to just Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!"); — the scaffolding became optional.)
