What is C# all about?

C# is very established, scalable, versatile and users do not have to worry about memory management. You can create great outcomes without having to remember every detail. It is an object-oriented and type-safe programming language. C# can run well in a .NET ecosystem. This ecosystem is supported by Microsoft - .NET is a framework for building applications on windows.
