C#

OK... Heres the thing...

I code C#.

I code C# for work, I code C# for fun... I enjoy C# :D

What is C# you ask?

Well, there's a very technical definition here.

My version?

It's a Programming Language that let's you create... Well... Programs :)

Mind you, it can only create programs for Windows (As I couldn't be bothered with Linux Coding, and I HATE Macs... *Hiss*)... But for Windows? Well... It's AWESOME!

In my life of coding, I went from (Non-Decent Programming Languages (Eg: BASIC) left out)

- 1.) Visual Basic - Bleurgh!

- 2.) Delphi - A bit better...

- 3.) C# - OMG! THIS ROCKS!

To run a C# Program, you need Windows. Preferably XP (As Vista, like Macs, suck!), and preferably with Service Pack 2, Downloadable here (266 MB - Link to EXE).

Depending on how advanced the person coding the app, you need either .NET 1.1, .NET 2.0, or .NET 3.0

Download .NET 3.5 here (197MB - Direct Link to EXE (Can be inserted into DL Manager))

For those people who actually want to TRY programming, download:

Visual C# 2008 Express Edition here (894.7 MB - Link to web-page - Scroll down to Offline Install).

C# Examples

Some nifty little things i've learnt over time (Links open in new window)

GDI+ GIF Animation

You might already be able to code - RIGHT NOW! (Read This!!!)

Ok - Here's the thing...
Most Modern-Day PC's already HAVE the .NET Framework installed!!

Navigate to:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\

If that directory exist - You're doing well so far!

Now, navigate to "\Framework\v3.5" - Might be a lower number depending on your PC (1.0, 1.1, etc)

Now, stay in that new directory, and type "csc.exe" and pres enter.

If you get an error similar to " fatal error CS2008: No inputs specified " Then you can start coding!

Open up notepad, and type:

using System;

class program
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Console.WriteLine("Yay! It compiles!");
      Console.WriteLine("Enter a word!");
      string myWord = Console.ReadLine();
      Console.WriteLine("You entered: " + myWord);
      Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to quit.");
      Console.ReadLine();
   }
}

And save it under "C:\myEg.txt", then close notepad.

Now, in the above command window, type the following:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5>csc /out:c:\done.exe c:\myEg.txt

and press enter.

If you're successful, you'll have a c:\done.exe

Congratulations! You've jsut created your first C# Program :)

ASP.NET

ASP.NET is a language that let's you create web-pages.

All web-pages are coded using some sort of programming language, be it HTML, PHP, ASP.NET, etc.

The easiest way to see what a page is coded in is to look at what the URL ends in...

Although, it seems Google is an exception to that... -_-

The cool thing about ASP.NET, is that it let's you use C# for all the coding stuff on your site :D

ASP.NET Examples

Some nifty little things i've learnt over time (Links open in new window)

E-Mail From Code - E-mails someone, specifying From, To, Subject, and Text, with multi-line support.

View Source - Displays the source of any web-page.

Mouse Cursor - Changes the Mouse Cursor whilst moved over ANY Asp.NET Control.

Conclusion

And... Well... That seems to be it for now... Will update this page at a later time :)
