questions about C#
-
Hello, My name is Aaron Thompson. I am a student at Columbus State Community College in Columbus Ohio. I am currently seeking an AAS of Computer Programming Technology, but I have just started into the world of programming, so my experience is very limited. I am currently working on a report about C#, and needed to get some primary research data. I have done a good deal of research into what C# is about, but I am still very much the novice. The report is for my Business English class, and does not have to be overly technical. I have a few questions that I have come up with, and any responses would be greatly appreciated. If possible could I have responses by Friday March 1st? If you would like to send your response to my hotmail account, it is aroconthom@hotmail.com. If you could also leave your name and an email address for reference information that would be great. If you would not like to be referenced, your response is still very much welcomed. Thank you in advance for any help I receive. 1) What features of C# do you find to be the most useful to you when writing programs? Please list 3-5 features for your answer. A few examples of what I would consider features of C#: The garbge collection mechanism, access to the .NET libraries for easier inheitance of code, and the ability to manage memory yourself by declaring a section of code as "unsafe". 2) What features would you consider to be the least useful to you when writting programs in C#? Please list 1-3 for your answer. 3) What previous programming languages experince do you find the most helpful when learning to use C#? Such as profficiency with Visual Basic, C, C++, JAVA, etc.

No direct and easy access to the Windows API No "real" pointers I can't compile native applications Aaron T. wrote: What previous programming languages experince do you find the most helpful when learning to use C#? Such as profficiency with Visual Basic, C, C++, JAVA, etc. I have programming C++ for a looong time, and some years ago I also programmed in Delphi, both have been very usefull when trying out C#. (Delphi and C# is both designed by Anders Hejlsberg, and several features in common) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Thank you so much for your response, it will help a great deal. From everything that I have read experince in C++ will make learning C# the easiest. Doing this paper has helped me to get a direction of what areas I want to concentrate on in programming. Have a great day, Aaron T.
