Description
C# is an object-oriented programming language that is tightly integrated with Microsoft's .NET application framework. .NET has evolved with cross-platform support, and starting from .NET 5 the distinction between Windows versions (.NET Framework) and cross-platform versions (previously indicated by .NET Core) has faded away as .NET emerges as the new unified framework. .NET is also open source and welcomes contributions from the community. C# is the most popular language targetting .NET thanks in part to the productivity gains it can provide you, the large community to support you, and relatively low learning curve.
The playground is a safe and secure sandbox environment for you to explore your own ideas, follow along with Cloud Academy courses, or answer your own questions all without the need to install any software on your local machine.
