C# Getting Started

C# is a versatile, general-purpose programming language developed by Microsoft that runs on the .NET Framework. It's widely used for developing web applications, desktop applications, and games.

Here are the steps on how to get started with C#:

Install Visual Studio Community. Visual Studio Community is a free IDE (integrated development environment) that includes tools for developing C# applications. You can download it from the Visual Studio website.

Create a new C# project. Once you have Visual Studio installed, you can create a new C# project by selecting File > New > Project. In the New Project window, select C# under Project Templates and then select Console App.

Write your first C# program. A simple C# program will print "Hello, World!" to the console. Here is an example of a simple C# program:

using System;

namespace HelloWorld

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

        }

    }

}

Save your program and run it. To save your program, select File > Save. To run your program, press F5 or select Debug > Start Debugging.
