C# Links and Resources
Described by Microsoft as "an evolution of Microsoft C and Microsoft C++"
and "simple, modern, type safe, and object oriented," C# (pronounced "C-sharp")
is one of the key language platforms available for building Web services and
applications on the .NET framework. It has been ratified by the ECMA General
Assembly as a language standard, and is a key component in Microsoft's Visual
Studio.NET package for developers.
