I used CSharp in Aptech, I built a WPF Application, and worked on some ASP.NET MVC 3 with Razor and the last I touched CSharp was 4.0, till I followed the JVM.

CSharp is nice, I worked on a Database project, it was called Entity to SQL before it became EF, CSharp has some advanced features like LINQ, Extension Methods and Delegates.

I wonder why CSharp is not as popular as it should be.

I like c# because it straight forward and easier to understand building winform, WPF , winUI3 ,Maui and ASP.NET core . The latest is dotnet7

I think there is not so many dotnet developers on Nairaland . Microsoft is really updating the codebase and it is hard to keep up if you are not improving your skill. The latest version is C#11

Yeah I think the reason is mainly .NET wasn't open source for a while so Java took most of the devs. You had to be in an Enterprise environment to do .NET, but now there's js which is an easier path for others into programming

It is very popular in Nigeria too. Many large organizations in Nigeria (banks, oil companies, Telcos etc) use the .Net ecosystem for their applications: the .Net framework is designed for creating Enterprise applications.

It is not for the faint-hearted though, because .Net is designed as a full-stack developer framework (same code base for web, mobile (android and iOS), desktop (windows, Mac) , RESTful HTTP services with templates for front end frameworks like Angular, React etc plus very easy integration of cloud technologies); you can't afford to stop learning.

Your job may require you to create/manage the backend for huge applications in addition to creating/managing the front end and the web services that provides the data for your front-end to consume.

.Net gives you all the tools you need to make your application as huge as you can imagine and C# is the language of choice.

Recently, a UNILAG 200 level student told me they have to learn C# in their department though he is not a computer science student.

NOUN Post graduate degree in Computer Science also requires you to learn C# only (Confirm on their website).

There are many .Net developer jobs at these big organisations and it takes quite some time to get the vacancies filled because the skill sets are not as abundant as Java in Nigeria at the moment.

Quick question, asides syntax is the thought process different if you're building the same thing but in different languages?

I don't believe its difficult,i think it would be difficult if someone doesn't understand the preliminaries,how it works. Actually right now, im not good with the syntax at all, but I understand how it works. If someone doesn't understand the preliminaries,then to grasp it would be very difficult

Nothing is difficult and you have the right mindset already, but it takes a lot of works to be job-ready as a .Net developer.

You want to create a modern (Not Windows-only) data-driven web application making use of Microsoft's modern cross-platform .Net framework (also known as .Net Core), you need to know at least all of:

1. HTML,CSS, JavaScript and/or Bootstrap/jQuery
2. C# and OOP
3. T-SQL (Microsoft's flavour of SQL) and SQLServer
4. Entity Framework Core (Microsoft's flagship ORM) with code-first approach.
5. ASP.Net Core MVC

Learning C# with Winform/console may be interesting to you, but to be job-ready, you need more than just the language.

Just go on LinkedIn now and check the available .Net jobs, you'll find that they all state the above and more as requirements (some include knowledge of React/Angular and creating of web services/API/RPC as well as familiarity with microservice architecture for intermediate/entry level developer jobs).

Enjoy the process, but C# is just the beginning.

Of course, I'm through with Css,Html,and Java,and boostrap infact we are through with UIUX. C sharp is in another course entirely. We have even done python, but i don't know shit of that till I go back on it
Also,I didn't know people learn Csharp alone though. And im not learning it for jobs,im learning because I love it. I really don't care about jobs, i have a job that i love so much already and its a leadership position. Even though I know there may be money in programming,im not doing it for that. I just have zeal for learning new skills every new year

That's an interesting mindset you don't see that often. It's a good thing in the long run, you will always find more roles should you, qant to move to something else.

That's how I did it too: I had a job and I learnt lots of new skills in-depth with no pressure buoyed by pure passion for knowledge.

Its quite common, not just in Nigeria and with females. People change their career many times. A doc can become a lawyer and vice versa. Its just an extra 4-5years once you have saved enough money to spend for the 4years, talkless of programming. Programming ISS one of the easiest knowledge to have because theree are resources everywhere, YouTube, different online courses andd it doesn't require certification (license)to practice like other jobs. I still don't know why Nigerian ladies prefer to learn tailoring,make up and other hand skills more than tech courses
Sewing skills is harder for me to learn and practice more than programming but I know alot of people would disagree. I'm learning for many reasons, and one of the main reasons is to motivate girls that its easy to learn.

Sometimes,all it takes to learn is to have someone tell you its easy and that would spark the motivation. Ass im seeing it,i would end up being a teacher than actually work with it.

Mine is a higher education,so they have curriculum we follow and there's a course for html,css, another course for python, another for Java, another for csharp. Its like how we did in uni where you take different courses. Makes it very less of mental stress for me. I don't do diy shit,too mentally tasking. But school makes it so much organized
Learning and working makes learning so easy as no pressure at all.

C# should be a cakewalk for you if you already had a Java course; Microsoft actually created C# to straighten some rough edges in Java, with a similar syntax.

The bolded part is true!
We were made to learn C# then for Introduction to Computing Engineering.

It was/is core for all 200 Engineering students in Unilag.

Good afternoon boss, happy weekend. I have little issues with my VSCode and it is that it refuses to install extentions and I don't know why. I tried installing pylance and some other extensions but it kept showing installing for more than 45mins. Please what do I do?
