Moving into C# (sharp)

-



Recently I've become involved with projects that require C#.

Since I've developed an affinity for Object Oriented Programming and the use of Classes, C# has become rather appealing to me.

Without getting into too much historical detail, C# was developed by Microsoft around the year 2000. It was meant to be an improvement upon C++, hence the sharp “#” symbol, indicating a sort of stacked set of four plus symbols “++++”.

A number of things in C# stand out with me. Especially the ease of implementation of graphics and database interfaces. As well as how easy it is to work with objects and classes.

I can think of a number of programs I've been wanting to write over the years which C# may do quite nicely. One thing that's been holding me back on most of my development projects is the lack of ability to cross compile between different Operating Systems. But apparently there are a number of resources available for both Mac and Linux that might get me to my cross-platform goal.

I should be able to post an article about my adventures developing in C# sometime soon. But before then I want to make certain I've my head wrapped around C#. The new programming conventions and habits I've picked up while studying has made code organization and application documentation much easier.

Wrapping up my first C# project.

I've wanted a desktop database program that I could customize for some time now. Actually there have been a number of programs I've wanted that require a database. But since Microsoft Access is a bit costly and Open Office has yet to release good documentation on programming their "Base" software I've been out of luck. Recently I've been learning C# well enough that I decided to dive into this project to see if I could do it. Turns out that I CAN! I've found C# to be really easy to pick up. As a result of my study efforts, I developed a rudimentary database engine and a contacts program that implements this engine. I found a bogus contacts list CSV file on the internet and wrote a simple import function so I could experiment with my database. So all these contacts are BOGUS (or at least they should be). Once I had the primary database function set up in the engine I could write an "add-on" library that the engine incorporates into itself a
