C# in 100 Seconds

C# or C-Sharp is the programming language behind .NET (dotnet) and the Unity framework. It was created at Microsoft as a C-like object-oriented language and is used to build apps for web, desktop, mobile, and more.

I feel like this is actually the most important part of a language for me. Like C++ isn't a bad language, but the documentation and tooling around it just makes me hate working with it. I'm not a big fan of C# (more of a Rust guy), but having nice documentation and tooling just elevates the experience so much.

LINQ was my introduction to functional programming many years ago. At the time, I didn't know it was functional programming. I just knew it was very different and very cool.

LINQ is what I miss the most when working with Java and even Python. The fluent syntax is just so good to use. I personally dislike the global-style of the functional part of Python. I'd rather do a list comprehension for filtering/mapping than using map and filter. What I do miss from Python, though, is list, tuples, sets and dicts being built-in, which cleans up the syntax quite a lot.

[@mctechcraft7]

LINQ is honestly the most OP feature of C# in my opinion. You can get so much done with just a few chained method calls. Even better you can add your own extension methods to make custom LINQ methods

[@mctechcraft7]

@ lists and dicts are part of System.Collections.Generic namespace. I think that is auto imported if you enable implicit using sus but id have to check

@@mctechcraft7 extension methods are a close second indeed. About Sytem.Collections.Generic what I meant is having these data structures literally part of the syntax. Auto-importing it everywhere is cool, but still not as "transparent" as it is in Python. Out of the basic data structures, Tuple is the closest right now to feeling like part of the language (not the library), although having to access members as Item1, Item2, Item3... is still ugly IMO.

[@janne_kekalainen]

@ For tuples in a method return type, you can do the following: public (int X, int Y) Do something(int a, int b){ // Do something useful return (a*2,b*3) } var thing=DoSomething(1,2) // Since the elements were named before, we can do. Console.WriteLine(thing.X+thing.Y) // or alternatively if you want x and y as separate variables. (var x, var y) =Do something(1,2) //--- I absolutely love tuples; they solve the annoying issue of returning multiple values from a method. Sure there was a way before with an out parameter, but tuple is a cleaner solution, in my opinion.

Some comments based on the C# code seen in the vid: 1. While you can write finalizers/destructors for types in C#, it's not very common and not very useful. Due to how garbage collection works, you can't ever count on a finalizer being called. If you need to do something to deallocate special resources (like a file handle or a database connection) you'd implement the IDisposable interface on the class instead. 2. When writing asynchronous code, try to avoid writing 'async void' functions as much as possible! Async void will break the exception-handling system of .NET. Instead, declare async methods as returning Task. (e.g. 'public async Task MyCoolAsyncMethod()')

1:22 Nowadays most C# programmers would write `var hello = "string";` (equivalent of `let` in Typescript) 1:32 It would have been nice to use C# 10 syntax for namespaces (e.g. no brackets). 1:39 Finalizers are not invoked when objects go out of scope. The closest thing to scope-based resource management is `using`/IDisposable. Finalizers are invoked non-deterministically once an object is eligible for garbage collection (which is only tangentially related with scope).

Why on Earth would people intentionally use var? I do not understand this. One of the biggest advantages of C sharp is that it’s statically typed.

Am I missing something?? Using the actual types makes it way easier to understand what you are doing in the first place

Couple of things that stood out to me. It's Microsoft's .NET framework, not Windows. There's nothing windows specific about it. Writing private in front of members is completely unnecessary. And lastly, namespaces are just an organizational tool, you can use types across files without them. They are not modules. It's hard to convince people that c# isn't java when so many still write it like it is.

[@thatKurtis]

Reference types can still be null even with the nullable reference type feature enabled, but you get warnings in most scenarios it's not a destructor but a finalizer, and you have no way of knowing when or even if it gets called at all, since it is called when the garbage collector decides it want's to get rid of that object after it is no longer in use. The closest thing to a destructor is Dispose in combination with using which you get through the IDisposable interface. Also, when you use async/await you almost always want to have Task or variations thereof as your return type and not void :)

[@Bliss467]

You can force things to be deleted with the "using" keyword or calling gc.collect on them.

[@thatKurtis]

@@Bliss467 a using statement calls Dispose on an object after it leaves the scope but does not directly call the finalizer GC.Collect() will force a garbage collection of all generations so that might trigger the finalizer if the object was marked for deletion

A destructor does not match that behavior, so the term "finalizer" doesn't make sense.

I have a 4 part Blazor WASM video series if thats something you might be interested in.

Well, starting today I'll be learning how to code starting with C#. Wish me luck lol.

[@daurham]

How’s it going?

[@mobwow6833]

@@daurham Well, save to say I didn't practice as much in my free time as I wished. But I'm doing a short internship at a local software company right know. And if they decide to take me in, I'll be starting an apprenticeship to become a Software Developer later this year. They are primarely working in C# aswell, so that would be very fitting.

Have you learned the basics?! Please tell us the truth!

[@mobwow6833]

@@hkn5539 In my other reply I talked about the internship I was doing doing and yea I learned the basics while being there. I will be doing an apprenticeship at the same company starting in August this year, and they also hired me to work for them in the meantime. Got my first day on the 16th this month, so I will be learning a lot more about programming in the upcoming months. :)

The best language ever

[@kagedevshorts4886]

C# Gang Here!!

[@JXQU3]

C# now with .NET 7 can also compile directly to native AOT (machine code) like C, Rust or Go.

[@RHV044]

The discussion C# vs Java doesn't make sense anymore, c# is objectively better basically because it has evolved and its not the same language it was 10 years ago. If you focus on performance the gap is so fucking big that it's almost humiliating

[@TheNew1234_y]

C# also has also *alot* of stuff built in that require extra work in java or extra understanding.

[@being_aslam_tiger]

You underestimated c#

[@dahahaka]

A couple of things that really need to be fixed, maybe honestly worth a reupload because the video is already outdated: .NET Core is no longer relevant, it's just .NET now (.NET5 and soon .NET6) Xamarin is soon to be deprecated, people are already starting production of .NET MAUI apps (successor of Xamarin with Windows and MacOs support) Blazor is not only used for web but can also be used to deploy full on Mobile and Desktop apps using MAUI Blazor bindings, Hybrid Components and Blazor Desktop (think electron but more powerful and lightweight) Next thing is the compilation: While C# is most often Compiled to CIL and then run by the CLR, C# can also be compiled DIRECTLY to machine code with CoreRT or NativeAOT in the future. Also C# in unity is AFAIK C# script that isn't necessarily compiled to IL but i'm not actually sure about that one. Garbage Collection also isn't necessarily required when using AOT Compilation if you're doing anything super time sensitive like games.

[@Igbon5]

Imitation Java? It is obviously a C++ directed extension and expansion of Turbo Pascal, Object Pascal and Delphi. That's why Microsoft head hunted Anders, not to copy Java. He already had a head full of better ideas than Java. C#'s dad can beat up Java's dad.

[@amidfallen]

embrace extend extinguish... Microsoft in a whole beauty

[@mxbx307]

I know C# is spiritually similar to Java, but C# is just _nicer_ somehow. It feels more slick and more cohesive, meanwhile Java feels very cobbled together and discrete.

[@Vexxel256]

It’s because of that bedamned NullPointerException

[@VuLinhAssassin]

As someone who had worked in Java, transition to C# is easy.

[@Jeremyxyx]

Visual Studio > Visual Studio Code, for the sake of Programming in C# at least. I like VSC as a Nodepad alternative though

[@quachhengtony7651]

.NET 8 is coming, and I feel a storm brewing

[@TejoAgus]

My favorite language! I'm always trying to learn the cool new thing, but keep coming back to C#. It may be more verbose than others like Python or Ruby, but it is so elegant, easy to read and intuitive that it is totally worth it.

[@__jan]

You should have these language introduction videos reviewed by people who actually use and understand the language, because the content is often misleading or just plain wrong.

[@nort5396]

Personally, a Unity tutorial would be so helpful! I've also wanted to build games, but current Unity tutorials are just so overwhelming. I hope you decide to make one. It would help so many aspiring game developers just like me!

[@FelineRaptor-gv4te]

same with me

[@Katt1n]

Not sure what tutorials you are looking at, there is almost a redundancy of Unity tutorials on the web.

[@sjoerdev]

Watch brackeys

[@joaovitorreynaldo]

Watch Code Monkey. It's one of if not the best channel about Unity and programming in general.

[@Stridsvagn69420]

In my opinion, C# is the better Java: It doesn't take that much resources like Java does (the same example program in C# uses like maximum 25 MB with debugging while even just the JVM takes like 150 MB of RAM) and you can easily compile it to a standalone binary for Windows, macOS and Linux. It's one of my favourite languages because it's so easy and well documented, and I even think it's very beginner friendly.

[@MOTAMINE.]

Wow...... 100 sec. = 2:27 min. New algorithm 🙄

[@stroiman.development]

There is a small factual error, c# does not have "destructors" as the narrator explains, but "finalizers", as the popup comment correctly says. It's not called when the object goes out of scope as explained, but during garbage collection, which makes the timing unpredictable. C# provides the interface IDisposable and a corresponding Dispose method for more predictable cleanup, combined with the "using" keyword, where necessary. Finalizers are only intended for cleaning up unmanaged resources, which most programmers don't need to be concerned with

[@kusayfarhan9943]

Ah C# my go to language. One of the best languages for real world applications (outside of specialized applications).

[@jammincoder]

I've been thinking about getting into C# for a while now, this just encourages me to do so even more. Next time I have free time I will! Cool video, BTW 😎

[@robertwallace5498]

I used to love working in c# when I made some small demo games in Unity. And since it is similar to java, making that transition for my new company was not so bad
