C# consistently ranks among the top 10 most popular programming languages.

If you want to start programming and choose a language to start learning, C# is one of the best options. C# is one of the most balanced languages in terms of typing, not to mention the brevity of syntax and lack of heavy legacy baggage as in the case of C++. A few years ago arguments about which language is better than C# or Java were holivar in their essence, but such disputes are becoming less and less, because C# has become cross-platform, has greatly advanced in the possibilities to achieve a high level of performance, and in terms of typing and syntactic features has long ago overtaken Java. So if you are choosing between Java and C#.... well, you get the picture.

In short, if you're just starting your programming journey, C# is a great choice as your first programming language. The popularity of C# is not only due to the fact that it is easy to learn, but also due to the real advantages of the language in the sense of its professional application for solving complex automation problems. C# is a cross-platform language and programs written in it run on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. It has a concise and elegant syntax. A huge number of ready-made libraries makes it possible not to reinvent bicycles at every step.

This course covers all the main features of C# and gives recommendations on writing competent, clean code.
