Maybe you ask yourself, why should I learn CSharp? To answer this question I have written this article. It will give you plenty of reasons to learn CSharp :).

Why you should learn CSharp

Simplicity

It is easy to learn. CSharp was developed to be simple to use. That makes it quite easy to learn too. Code written in CSharp is rather easy to read, because it is very close to the english language. So you don’t have to bother what the PC exactly does with the code and can focus on programming it.

Game development the easy way

CSharp is the fundament on which games made in Unity are based. Unity, one of the best tools to develop video games is very easy to learn and helps you to achieve results very quickly. Unity also support Javascript, yet there are much more tutorials for Unity with code written in CSharp.

Easy to maintain

CSharp is very easy to maintain. The IDE Visual Studio really help to find errors very quickly.

It’s fast

As CSharp is a static typed language, Datatypes of variables are always set. This makes the language faster than dynamic typed languages.

Community

CSharp has one of the biggest communities. Why is that important you ask? Well, due to this fact there are many more coding examples,  programmers to help you out, forum posts with solutions and much more to find. There is a huge library of solutions to problems on stack overflow, and a big chunk of them is for CSharp. It is the fourth biggest Community. That is extremely useful.

JOBS JOBS JOBS

Many websites, programs, games etc. were written in CSharp. This results in an unbroken demand for developers knowing CSharp. Especially in the game development area, thanks to Unity.

Demand is growing

According to http://www.bestprogramminglanguagefor.me/why-learn-c-sharp demand for CSharp courses has grown by 22% in 2015. So it is very future prone. Also, since CSharp is from Microsoft (one of the biggest players in IT), it is very likely that it will see further growing in the future.

Virtual Reality

VR is the future (at least many specialists expect that). Programms for Virtual Reality are very easily developed with Unity in CSharp. Hereby it doesn’t matter if it is Occulus Rift, HTC Vive or Hololense. CSharp is the right language in either case.

Easily transferable skills

Once you know CSharp, other programming languages such as Java are very easy to learn, as the languages are very similar. You then simply have to learn some minor details and can get going rather quickly.

Even if many of the reasons are also true for other languages, others are unique to CSharp. So I can highly recommend to learn CSharp.
