Introduction
Sometimes finding the best programming language to start with can be in pain in the binary. With the internet being the hub for all-you-can-eat-tutorials. This guide will introduce you to the basics of C# in a simple and friendly way. C# (pronounced "C-sharp") is a powerful and popular programming language used by millions of developers worldwide. Side note it is one of the top 5 programming languages on GitHub.
WHAT IS C# ?
In music it's a note, but for us as developers its means of communication with a PC. C# is a modern, open-source programming language created by Microsoft. It's designed to be easy to learn and use, making it perfect for beginners. C# is widely used in various industries, from gaming to finance, because of its flexibility and powerful features. It's part of the .NET platform, which means you can use C# to build all kinds of applications, from mobile apps to websites, and even cloud-based services.
WHY SHOULD YOU LEARN IT?
Beginner-Friendly
C# is known for its clean and easy-to-read syntax, making it the perfect choice for beginners. The language is designed to be straightforward, so you can focus on learning the fundamentals of coding without getting overwhelmed.
Hello World
The "Hello, World" program is traditionally used to introduce a programming language. Here it is in C# which you are able to practice in your browser as well. Check out the link below:
// This line prints "Hello, World"
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World");

Think of C# as a type of spice that you could throw into ANYFOOD. Literally you could build games, desktop applications, mobile apps & web services like C'MON !!! If i had to round it all up into two words, it is CROSS PLATFORM, meaning one for all (excuse the My Hero Academia Reference).
Job Opportunities
I'm pretty sure google is your friend when it comes to these things, you could search " Junior or just in general jobs for C# developers. Once you have that information, use it as your guide or motivation to do what's needed to be done. My 2cents is that C# is widely used in the industry, making it a valuable skill for job seekers. Many companies use C# for their software development needs, from startups to large enterprises. Learning C# can open doors to roles in software development, game development, web development, and more.
LEARN C# WITH DEVELOPERS
Not much of a reader? My visual learners, I got you covered! Start learning with the C# experts! Scott & David will be introducing you to C# and teach you all about the language syntax & fundamentals.
SELF-TAUGHT TUTORIALS
I couldn't think of a better name to describe this, simply because there is so much information of C# on the interwebs from different people explaining it in different ways which may be tailored for you. My intention is to highlight the opportunities from the source itself. You have the luxury of knowing your progress while earning badges like some Pokémon specialist. (CATCH THEM ALL, TRUST ME)
Collections
A perfect compilation of learning paths put together by Microsoft to make sure you get the best out of your C# experience. Learn the basic syntax and thought processes required to build simple applications using C#. Take a look for yourself.
freeCodeCamp
I mentioned badges, well... with this you can get an actual certificate at the price of 0.00, yep that's correct. You can earn a free Foundational C# Certification after you complete the training. The certification is made in partnership with freeCodeCamp and is a great way to showcase your new C# skills. Goodluck !
AN ACTIVE & OPEN COMMUNITY
That's just how we do it! The nice thing about all of this, is that sometimes you need some feedback or human assistance when starting your coding journey. Lucky us, we have this .NET Developer Community. Which connects you to developers all over the world & a discord channel.
CONCLUSION
I hope you found my guide a little bit refreshing of a read, excuse any grammar errors, I'm a blogger in practice who tries his best to help others by compiling content that's usually all over the place. I wish you luck on your C# journey, may the code be with you!
