C# Programming C# (pronounced C-sharp) is a new object oriented language from Microsoft and is derived from C and C++. It also borrows a lot of concepts from Java too including garbage collection.

Default Why C# and not Java?
Since Java is also a CLI language and can also be used for programming in the Java platform, why would you choose C# above Java?
This might be a stupid question, since I'm not really a programmer and I only started learning about it recently.

With C# you get the .NET Framework, I don't think it is used for Java.

Default Re: Why C# and not Java?
Java doesn't have .NET, but does have native support for running on non-MS systems. Personally, I've found Java apps very handy since they run on both Windows and my EEE PC.

Default Re: Why C# and not Java?
So J# is not the same as Java? Or what does it mean to be a CLI language than?

Default Re: Why C# and not Java?
I think J# is a version of Java that uses .NET. It wouldn't be multi-platform, though, because the .NET Framework only runs (reliably) on Windows.

You're a good member of CodeCall Xav, you answer the most stupid questions too. So thanks for answering mine.
Can I ask why I find somebody with a Tux avatar in the C# section? :-)

Default Re: Why C# and not Java?
I'm not sure I would choose C# over Java because of the simple fact that Java is cross-platform. It works well although I've seen a lot of bad code in Java make people dislike Java applications in general. C# runs well and supports the .NET language but isn't portable at all. Another problem with .NET is the man different versions. People have varying versions and are not always running the latest version meaning you new .NET app may not run on their old .NET version (and they may be unwilling to update just to run your application).

On a side note, C# is a great language and is easy to develop in. Visual Studio and C# has great support for Windows Mobile devices.
