C# Introduction & The .NET 8 Ecosystem

CLR runtime, cross-platform .NET, top-level statements, and C# basics

Created by Microsoft and Anders Hejlsberg, C# is an elegant, type-safe, object-oriented language that runs on the high-performance cross-platform .NET runtime across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

The Modern C# Architecture

Common Language Runtime (CLR): The virtual machine managing execution, memory garbage collection, and JIT (Just-In-Time) compilation to machine code.

Top-Level Statements: In modern C# (.NET 6+), boilerplate class and main method declarations can be omitted for simple scripts.

String Interpolation: Embed expressions inside strings using $"Hello {name}".

Modern Top-Level Statement Program (Program.cs)
// Modern C# 12 Top-Level Statements
string studentName = "Sameera";
int score = 98;

Console.WriteLine($"Welcome to Codexia C# Mastery, {studentName}!");
Console.WriteLine($"Current Score: {score} | Status: Certified");
