Computer Programming?
Computer programming is the process of
designing and building an executable computer
program to accomplish a specific computing result
or to perform a specific task.
Computer programming: creating a sequence of
instructions to enable the computer to do
something.
Programming Phases
Define a task/problem = Specification
Plan your solution = Design
Find suitable algorithm to solve it
Find suitable data structures to use
Write code = Implementation
Fix program error (bugs) = Testing & Debugging
Make your customer happy = Deployment
A console application
A console application is a program designed to be used via a
text-only computer interface, such as a text terminal,
the command line interface of some operating
systems (Unix, DOS, etc.) or the text-based interface included
with most Graphical User Interface (GUI) operating systems,
such as the Win32 console in Microsoft Windows, the Terminal
in macOS, and xterm in Unix. A user typically interacts with a
console application using only a keyboard and display screen,
as opposed to GUI applications, which normally require the use
of a mouse or other pointing device
What is a GUI?
GUI is the acronym for graphical user interface, which is the
interface through which users interact with electronic devices,
such as computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets. A
graphical user interface offers visual representations of the
available commands and functions of an operating system or
software program.
These visual representations consist of elements like icons,
menus, tabs, pointers and windows, which allow users to easily
access and manipulate available functions
Structural elements of a GUI
A GUI consists of structural elements that together define the
appearance of the interface. Here are a few examples of such
structural elements:
• Windows
• Menus
• Icons
• Widgets
• Tabs
What are the benefits of a GUI?
Older desktop operating systems, such as MS-DOS, as well as
many current programming languages, employ command-line
interfaces.
As a GUI provides visual representations of commands.
The benefits of using a GUI are multiple. Apart from the fact
that it provides users with an intuitive and easy-to-use interface
and immediate visual feedback, a GUI also allows a user to
open up multiple programs or instances and displays these
simultaneously.
C# is a Sharp C
C#, pronounced c sharp, C# is a simple & powerful object-
oriented programming language developed by Microsoft. C#
can be used to create various types of applications, such as
web, windows, console applications, or other types of
applications using Visual studio.
C# is one of the languages used in the Microsoft .NET
Framework. The Microsoft .NET Framework is a library of
objects that create or draw things on the computer.
C# is used for:
• Mobile applications
• Desktop applications
• Web applications
• Web services
• Web sites
• Games
• Database applications
• And much, much more!
Why Use C#?
• It is one of the most popular programming language
in the world
• It is easy to learn and simple to use
• It has a huge community support
• C# is an object oriented language which gives a
clear structure to programs and allows code to be
reused, lowering development costs.
• As C# is close to C, C++ and Java, it makes it easy
for programmers to switch to C# or vice versa
What is Microsoft .Net Framework?
• .NET is a software framework which is designed and
developed by Microsoft. The first version of the .Net
framework was 1.0 which came in the year 2002.
• In easy words, it is a virtual machine for compiling
and executing programs written in different
languages like C#, VB.Net etc.
It is used to develop Form-based applications, Web-
based applications, and Web services
There is a variety of programming languages available
on the .NET platform, VB.Net and C# being the most
common ones. It is used to build applications for
Windows, phone, web, etc. It provides a lot of
functionalities and also supports industry standards.
.NET Framework supports more than 60 programming
languages in which 11 programming languages are
designed and developed by Microsoft. The
remaining Non-Microsoft Languages which are
supported by .NET Framework but not designed and
developed by Microsoft.
11 Programming Languages which are designed
and developed by Microsoft are:
• C#.NET
• VB.NET
• C++.NET
• J#.NET
• F#.NET
• JSCRIPT.NET
• WINDOWS POWERSHELL
• IRON RUBY
• IRON PYTHON
• C OMEGA
• ASML(Abstract State Machine Language)

What is a compiler
A compiler is a program that transforms source
code written in one programming language into
another programming language.
When you run the C# compiler, it takes your code
as an input, does some processing, and then
outputs your program in intermediate language
(IL) code which is saved in *.exe or *.dll files.
Compile process
Common Language Runtime
CLR is a program running on your computer that
manages the execution of IL code.
