Platform dependency vs Independency
• What is platform:-is the combination of
CPU architecture and operating system
architecture.
• What is platform dependency:-code that
has been generated by the language
compiler compilation doesn’t run/execute
on a different processor and in different
operating system that which it has been
compiled , this nature is known as platform
dependency. Compiled By Abrham Y. 5
• What is platform independency:-if the code
generated by language compiler
compilation run on any processor and in any
operating system that which it has been
compiled the it is known as platform
independent.

What is .Net?
.Net is a framework tools which supports
many programming languages
What is framework :
– Is a collection of program that you can use to
develop your own application
– A set of pre-written code libraries designed to be
used by developers
.Net support more than 60 programming languages
like

What is C#.Net
• C#.Net is the most powerful programming
language among all programming language in .Net
, because C#.Net will contain all the feature of
C++, VB6.0 and Java and additional features
• In C#.net , the symbol # must should be
pronounced by “sharp” only because microsoft has
taken the symbol from musical note, whose name
11
is “sharp”
• We can say that C#.Net=c++ + VB6.0+Java

The only thing we’ll do with the code is to write some text to the screen. But
here’s the code that Visual C# prepares for you when you first create a
Console Application:
