Why You Should Learn To Use C#
By Martin Schaeferle | April 03, 2013
C++ is one of the most popular programming languages and is used on a wide-ranging variety of operating system platforms. Therefore, you may wonder why you'd want to learn all you can about C# if you're already familiar with C++. Here are just a few reasons why a C# video course could be beneficial to you as a programmer:
- C# borrows some of the best components of C, C++, and Java to create a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. This makes C# safer and easier for the average developer.
- The standardization of C# allows it to be run on many different platforms and architectures. This makes learning C# a valuable goal for any developer.
- If you know C++, you should have no problem learning C#.
- Learning C# will broaden your client base. Many large companies that hire contractors to do their programming and development want to use languages like C# because of their stability and standardization. Having C# as another tool in your professional toolbox will make you a more productive developer.
