Synopsis:

C# is a new object-oriented programming language in development from Microsoft. Based on C++ it contains features similar to those of Java. The intention is to combine the computing power of C++ with the programming ease of Visual Basic.

C# has been created with the Internet in mind and an aim to balance power with productivity. It provides rapid web development for the C++ and C programmer.

Forming part of the new .NET initiative, C# is designed to be used in conjunction with Microsoft's .NET platform of products. C# makes use of XML data and SOAP in order to simplify programming, these facilities allow the user to build on existing code rather than making repeated duplications. C# is expected to make it faster and less expensive to market new products and services. Microsoft's aim for this product is to facilitate the exchange of information and services over the Web and to enable developers to build highly portable applications.

Karli is an in-house author for Wrox Press with a penchant for multicolored clothing. He started out with the intention of becoming a world famous nanotechnologist, so perhaps one day you might recognize his name as he receives a Nobel Prize.
