Missing C# introduction Concepts for beginners

Education role: Beta Student Ambassador

After reviewing this document Bug-Bash/C# Beginner Training/1_LP_AZ_get-started-with-c-sharp/M01-write-your-first-c-sharp-code/includes/1-introduction.md I found some missing information which when I was learning C# few months ago, was confusing to me. As a beginner I had so many questions like

1. As a beginner I need to know what is c#? C# is a statically-typed, compiled, object-oriented language used with the .NET frameworks and runtimes. The official Microsoft C# language reference can be found on docs.microsoft.com. Like Java in syntax and structure, C# programs are compiled and executed against a .NET runtime running on a computer. The output of compiling C# code can be called a ‘.NET program’.
2. What is .NET Runtime? is a collection of commands native to the computer operating system that instruct the computer how to interpret and run a .NET program There are several different .NET runtimes available that give C# flexibility to run in many different locations. ➡️.NET Framework — runs on Windows and support desktop user-interface, console, and server development ➡️.NET Core — runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux with support for desktop user interface, console, and server development. ➡️.NET Core — runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux with support for desktop user interface, console, and server development. ➡️Unity — runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android devices with support for game development using the Unity3D tools. ➡️Mono — runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Web Assembly.
3. What is Dotnet Framework? A .NET Framework is a collection of programming instructions and tools that help you write a program of a specific type. Examples of .NET Frameworks include Windows Forms, ASP.NET, Xamarin iOS, and Blazor
4. C# Syntax follows this rules ? • C# uses a semi-colon to denote the end of a statement. This is a hard and fast rule, and you’ll get used to it quickly. Every statement in C# needs to end with a semi-colon ; This allows us to also have very flexible spacing in how we structure our code. • C# is NOT space sensitive - You can place as many spaces, tabs, or blank lines around your code as you would like. • C# IS case sensitive - C# is case-sensitive. All variables, objects, and their interactions must be referenced with the proper casing. • Everything in C# is an object - As C# is an object oriented language, everything we want to work with is an object. Objects can be declared of various TYPES and then interacted with. The simplest types in C# are called Built-In Types We can define variables, in-memory storage for a type by preceding the name of the variable we would like to create with the type of the variable we are creating.

A beginner can now understand the basics of C# and the Dotnet framework. This is because Dotnet serves as the engine for C# projects. I believe that after this, a learner will be able to begin coding a hello world program. I've written a blog post on introduction to C#

Yeah , this would be great if included, it gives a better overview

@kelcho-spense this is great content - you can close as we added to our considerations backlog for V-next, or collection that will follow where we start with OOP. For this first collection we tried to lower the cognitive load and opted to cover first steps in how to code and limit the How code works and vocabulary. For our next rev we want to introduce videos, some of the items mentioned would be easier to consume if in videos.

thank sir
