Why C#? (Coding in the Microsoft world.)
Abstract : C#, introduced with Microsoft's .NET environment, has been available for over five years now. But when people think of .NET, it's most frequently the web environment, specifically ASP.NET, that comes to mind. But ASP.NET is coded with VB, or VB Script, right? So why use C#? Much of the answer to 'Why C#?' lies in the Collection Classes, which were introduced as part of the .NET development suite. This one-hour talk will introduce the C# language and the Collection Classes. I will review some of the coding tasks generally done in Windows, concentrating on those features which can be simplified by using C# (and how some of them might be better done in VB.NET).
