The only thing in Java that I like more is checked exceptions. It helps me really make sure I've covered all my bases, which is pretty important for a web app imo
The one thing I really dislike about C# is the naming conventions for certain things. IE: "dot net", "linq", "dot net framework" etc, there's probably a dozen set of technologies/frameworks that are named really poorly.
the best part about this langage is definitely the documentation. MSDN is so delightful to read compared to any other doc you could find ! Also the community is cool and non elitist.
I feel like this is actually the most important part of a language for me. Like C++ isn't a bad language, but the documentation and tooling around it just makes me hate working with it. I'm not a big fan of C# (more of a Rust guy), but having nice documentation and tooling just elevates the experience so much. Honestly, I feel like it's a sin when a language doesn't prioritize that stuff.
What? MSDN is terrible. Compare it to something like Rust's docs... I have been working with C# for like 7 years now (on and off), but I'm defecting to Rustaceans.

Some comments based on the C# code seen in the vid: 1. While you can write finalizers/destructors for types in C#, it's not very common and not very useful. Due to how garbage collection works, you can't ever count on a finalizer being called. If you need to do something to deallocate special resources (like a file handle or a database connection) you'd implement the IDisposable interface on the class instead. 2. When writing asynchronous code, try to avoid writing 'async void' functions as much as possible! Async void will break the exception-handling system of .NET. Instead, declare async methods as returning Task. (e.g. 'public async Task MyCoolAsyncMethod()')
@@plrc4593 Async code is any method that has the 'async' modifier. Async code is usually used to perform long-running operations (like I\O) in a way that doesn't block the rest of the app.
Pretty sure c# has top level functions in the latest version. Plus they added file scoped namespaces. It's really nice to not have so much indentation now.
Top level functions are added in previous release (C# 9.0 .NET 5). File scoped namespaces are added in latest version C# 10.0 .NET 6 (supported in VS 2022 and Rider IDE).
@@theshermantanker7043 yeah which is disappointing to realize because it seems easy for the compiler to wrap all the top level code in a file in a generated static class similarly to how kotlin does it for the jvm
1:22 Nowadays most C# programmers would write `var hello = "string";` (equivalent of `let` in Typescript) 1:32 It would have been nice to use C# 10 syntax for namespaces (e.g. no brackets). 1:39 Finalizers are not invoked when objects go out of scope. The closest thing to scope-based resource management is `using`/IDisposable. Finalizers are invoked non-deterministically once an object is eligible for garbage collection (which is only tangentially related with scope). It's unfortunate that they used syntax resembling C++ destructors, because this has been a common misconception ever since. 1:52 C# does have top-level functions, albeit for the specific use case of small programs that are held in a single file.
@@kopuz.co.uk. As a C# developer, I've never seen anyone who doesn't use "var" And what are you being all snarky for with #4? It says in the video that there are no top-level functions and this person is correcting that
Why on Earth would people intentionally use var? I do not understand this. One of the biggest advantages of C sharp is that it’s statically typed. Like how typescript is an upgrade from JavaScript because it’s statically typed. Using “var” instead of the actual type is just lazy and makes it significantly harder and more frustrating for your teammates to read your code later (as well as your future self). Am I missing something?? Using the actual types makes it way easier to understand what you are doing in the first place
From never having looked into C# beyond its name, this was very helpful! Thank you for the overview, highlights, and context compared to other similar languages!
I've been thinking about getting into C# for a while now, this just encourages me to do so even more. Next time I have free time I will! Cool video, BTW 😎

@@thatKurtis Oh interesting, I didn't know that. wikipedia says it's been around since C# 8, so I've ignored that warning since 2019 lmao. Thanks for pointing it out!
@@Fireship the correction is incorrect. nullable reference types is the default for new projects now. so a default project would not allow string to be null. (albeit only emitting a warning for it)
My favorite language! I'm always trying to learn the cool new thing, but keep coming back to C#. It may be more verbose than others like Python or Ruby, but it is so elegant, easy to read and intuitive that it is totally worth it.
Notes: @ 1:18 the namespace, class and the main method are not needed, you can directly write the statements (Top level statements). @ 1:26 it is better to enable nullabe in the .csproj. @ 0:40 .NET JITs the IL code to native-code too!
And don't forget "global usings" that let you define using-statements for the whole project in just one place. Eliminating the need to add the same using to every file that needs it. Then there are "implicit global usings" that imports global namespaces based on SDK the common namespaces for Console projects, and- the ASP.NET Core namespaces for Web etc.
@@marna_li Indeed! In fact, the `using System;` system is no longer needed, implicit using exist! There are many cool features that I wish if he talked about

I learned some much from just watching this 100 seconds long video. I would love to see more C# related content, because you can explain all your topics so well.
Reference types can still be null even with the nullable reference type feature enabled, but you get warnings in most scenarios it's not a destructor but a finalizer, and you have no way of knowing when or even if it gets called at all, since it is called when the garbage collector decides it want's to get rid of that object after it is no longer in use. The closest thing to a destructor is Dispose in combination with using which you get through the IDisposable interface. Also, when you use async/await you almost always want to have Task or variations thereof as your return type and not void :)
@@Bliss467 a using statement calls Dispose on an object after it leaves the scope but does not directly call the finalizer GC.Collect() will force a garbage collection of all generations so that might trigger the finalizer if the object was marked for deletion
@@thatKurtis I think using the term "destructor" in C# is so misleading, because it sounds like C++ destructor semantics but object destruction is completely different in C#. I personally find when working with Java/C# instead of C++ I miss the deterministic object deletion. It can really come in handy for debugging to know exactly when and how an object is going to be destroyed. But hey, thats just an unfortunate limitation of garbage collected languages.
@@lucass8119 But "Destructor" makes sense because it is in fact, the opposite of the "Constructor". It happens when the GC destructs the object. The difference is, the GC destructs it, not you. Which is why it is unpredictable. If it were called "Finalizer" then that makese the term 'finally' in try catch to not make sense, because finally in try catch is a 'finalizer' ergo code that runs regardless of the end result (except for Exceptions). A destructor does not match that behavior, so the term "finalizer" doesn't make sense.

I'd love to see a full .NET tutorial, altho I have experience with Unity I never really understood C#. And I haven't seen a good basic C# 101 tutorial.
YES, I want that .Net video. Specifically, there is no video outlining the difference between 2.0 Standard and 4x Framework. Bonus points for Unity-related info.
I would love to see these 100 seconds videos about new major versions of technologies. Basically a rundown of what's new in the major verison. For example, in a .NET 6 in 100 seconds video, you could talk about the support for global usings and the minimal hosting model.
C# - the unsung hero of coding languages. Sure, it might not be the 'it' choice for startups, but its robustness, updated features, and amazing community make it a rockstar in its own right.
FYI, the free and open-source game engine Stride is, unlike Unity, completely written in C# and a game project is also a C# solution file... Quite amazing when you are a C# developer.
Hi, can you please name a few real world examples where C# is used? and if you could tell would kind of C# developer jobs are out there, would be awesome
C# was the language we use in our company on my first job. At first i hated it because i dont wanna learn it because im comfortable with PHP and Javascript lol. My first project was a textblast system and i immediately loved it when i got used to it.
Coincidentally, I also used C# and PHP in my first job as well (2011-2014). PHP, especially back then, was a mess. I frankly have no idea how someone could have preferred it over C#. What had probably contributed to my impression was that the PHP codebase at that place was of poor quality. This wasn't necessarily PHP's inherent fault, although I feel that in the long run, code quality IS correlated with language quality. You can spurn shitty code in every language, but some languages make this easier than others. C# did a much better job in encouraging clean design, in my opinion. Of course this was several years ago; I'm hearing that PHP has made a lot of progress since, addressing a large portion of criticism.

C# 10 will remove the need for wrapping your classes inside namespaces. Instead, you can now declare it at the top of the file similarly to a "using" statement.
Before I watched the video, I was half expecting it to talk about the musical note C# due to the video only being 2:26 long. I am pleasantly surprised.
134 seconds, since you start your explanation at the first second and are done at 2:14. Seriously though, it seems that C# has a better, less verbose way of dealing with null-safe programming and getters/setters, without having to use to resort to things like Lombok. Also WAsm support for blazor is pretty cool. Way more mature than the WAsm support in Java. And this all coming from a Java developer. I should take another look at C# sometime in the future.
A couple of things that really need to be fixed, maybe honestly worth a reupload because the video is already outdated: .NET Core is no longer relevant, it's just .NET now (.NET5 and soon .NET6) Xamarin is soon to be deprecated, people are already starting production of .NET MAUI apps (successor of Xamarin with Windows and MacOs support) Blazor is not only used for web but can also be used to deploy full on Mobile and Desktop apps using MAUI Blazor bindings, Hybrid Components and Blazor Desktop (think electron but more powerful and lightweight) Next thing is the compilation: While C# is most often Compiled to CIL and then run by the CLR, C# can also be compiled DIRECTLY to machine code with CoreRT or NativeAOT in the future. Also C# in unity is AFAIK C# script that isn't necessarily compiled to IL but i'm not actually sure about that one. Garbage Collection also isn't necessarily required when using AOT Compilation if you're doing anything super time sensitive like games.
0:43 this is no longer correct. Microsoft's IL2CPP compiler, which is part of visual studio, generates native code with no interpreter anymore. The execution speed is equal to anything created by C++
C# is just really comfortable to work with imo - it's always felt like the better version of Java to me

@@plrc4593 Async code is any method that has the 'async' modifier. Async code is usually used to perform long-running operations (like I\O) in a way that doesn't block the rest of the app.
@@jackkendall6420 I\O? Input/output?
@@plrc4593 Correct, yeah. Stuff like writing to a file or making a request to a website.
Love your mention of IDisposable. IDisposable + a scoped Using statement = happiness.
Pretty sure c# has top level functions in the latest version. Plus they added file scoped namespaces. It's really nice to not have so much indentation now.
Top level functions are added in previous release (C# 9.0 .NET 5).
File scoped namespaces are added in latest version C# 10.0 .NET 6 (supported in VS 2022 and Rider IDE).
I think the video is a bit outdated if we get a little picky, but it is awesome nonetheless :D
It only has that for the main method, not any arbitrary one
Wdym it does
@@theshermantanker7043 yeah which is disappointing to realize because it seems easy for the compiler to wrap all the top level code in a file in a generated static class similarly to how kotlin does it for the jvm
I literally spent like two months now trying to learn C#, and this guy just summarized it in 100 seconds! AMAZING
1:22 Nowadays most C# programmers would write `var hello = "string";` (equivalent of `let` in Typescript)
1:32 It would have been nice to use C# 10 syntax for namespaces (e.g. no brackets).
1:39 Finalizers are not invoked when objects go out of scope. The closest thing to scope-based resource management is `using`/IDisposable. Finalizers are invoked non-deterministically once an object is eligible for garbage collection (which is only tangentially related with scope). It's unfortunate that they used syntax resembling C++ destructors, because this has been a common misconception ever since.
1:52 C# does have top-level functions, albeit for the specific use case of small programs that are held in a single file.
Agreed with all of the above.
1. no
2. no
3. sounds lazy
4. your point?
I only use "var" for types that aren't primitives or strings.
@@kopuz.co.uk. As a C# developer, I've never seen anyone who doesn't use "var"
And what are you being all snarky for with #4? It says in the video that there are no top-level functions and this person is correcting that
Why on Earth would people intentionally use var? I do not understand this. One of the biggest advantages of C sharp is that it’s statically typed. Like how typescript is an upgrade from JavaScript because it’s statically typed. Using “var” instead of the actual type is just lazy and makes it significantly harder and more frustrating for your teammates to read your code later (as well as your future self). Am I missing something?? Using the actual types makes it way easier to understand what you are doing in the first place
From never having looked into C# beyond its name, this was very helpful! Thank you for the overview, highlights, and context compared to other similar languages!
I've been thinking about getting into C# for a while now, this just encourages me to do so even more. Next time I have free time I will!
Cool video, BTW 😎
I used to love working in c# when I made some small demo games in Unity. And since it is similar to java, making that transition for my new company was not so bad
1:25: Strings can be null without the ?. Only value types need that question mark to be nullable.
but the compiler now warns with the relatively new nullable reference type feature
Good call, thank you for the correction.
@@thatKurtis Oh interesting, I didn't know that. wikipedia says it's been around since C# 8, so I've ignored that warning since 2019 lmao. Thanks for pointing it out!
@@Fireship the correction is incorrect.
nullable reference types is the default for new projects now. so a default project would not allow string to be null. (albeit only emitting a warning for it)
@@TheKurama9 It only became the default very recently - previously you had to opt-in.
My favorite language! I'm always trying to learn the cool new thing, but keep coming back to C#. It may be more verbose than others like Python or Ruby, but it is so elegant, easy to read and intuitive that it is totally worth it.
Notes:
@ 1:18 the namespace, class and the main method are not needed, you can directly write the statements (Top level statements).
@ 1:26 it is better to enable nullabe in the .csproj.
@ 0:40 .NET JITs the IL code to native-code too!
why is it better to set nullable?
@@02orochi because you'd have to put that #nullable in every single file.
However, nullable is enabled by default in .NET 6 projects
Good call, thank you for the correction.
And don't forget "global usings" that let you define using-statements for the whole project in just one place. Eliminating the need to add the same using to every file that needs it. Then there are "implicit global usings" that imports global namespaces based on SDK the common namespaces for Console projects, and- the ASP.NET Core namespaces for Web etc.
@@marna_li Indeed! In fact, the `using System;` system is no longer needed, implicit using exist! There are many cool features that I wish if he talked about
Also, connecting C# to SQL server is amazingly powerful and not too hard. I didn't know what LINQ was until I watched this. Thanks!
it's a shame that sql server sucks
Personally, a Unity tutorial would be so helpful! I've also wanted to build games, but current Unity tutorials are just so overwhelming. I hope you decide to make one. It would help so many aspiring game developers just like me!
same with me
Not sure what tutorials you are looking at, there is almost a redundancy of Unity tutorials on the web.
Watch brackeys
Watch Code Monkey. It's one of if not the best channel about Unity and programming in general.
Unity Tutorial! I love your fast, easy to digest and straight to the point format.
i love this type of coding youtube content. It's the type of content i would love to make if I had the time. EXTREMELY concise and dense content on particular CS subject matter... keep it up
Half the time I have no idea what you are talking about but I will always watch the whole 100 seconds
I learned some much from just watching this 100 seconds long video. I would love to see more C# related content, because you can explain all your topics so well.
Finally, Im waiting for this for so long, thanks!
I learned so much from this 100 seconds video.i would love to see more C#
C# really exploded in popularity among developers I know in the past 3 years, its crazy
Fireship, I love your videos. Not only do you talk about the language, but you quickly highlight some key modules/frameworks that people use.
Reference types can still be null even with the nullable reference type feature enabled, but you get warnings in most scenarios
it's not a destructor but a finalizer, and you have no way of knowing when or even if it gets called at all, since it is called when the garbage collector decides it want's to get rid of that object after it is no longer in use. The closest thing to a destructor is Dispose in combination with using which you get through the IDisposable interface.
Also, when you use async/await you almost always want to have Task or variations thereof as your return type and not void :)
You can force things to be deleted with the "using" keyword or calling gc.collect on them.
@@Bliss467 a using statement calls Dispose on an object after it leaves the scope but does not directly call the finalizer
GC.Collect() will force a garbage collection of all generations so that might trigger the finalizer if the object was marked for deletion
@@thatKurtis I think using the term "destructor" in C# is so misleading, because it sounds like C++ destructor semantics but object destruction is completely different in C#.
I personally find when working with Java/C# instead of C++ I miss the deterministic object deletion. It can really come in handy for debugging to know exactly when and how an object is going to be destroyed. But hey, thats just an unfortunate limitation of garbage collected languages.
All of this. 100%
@@lucass8119 But "Destructor" makes sense because it is in fact, the opposite of the "Constructor". It happens when the GC destructs the object. The difference is, the GC destructs it, not you. Which is why it is unpredictable.
If it were called "Finalizer" then that makese the term 'finally' in try catch to not make sense, because finally in try catch is a 'finalizer' ergo code that runs regardless of the end result (except for Exceptions). A destructor does not match that behavior, so the term "finalizer" doesn't make sense.
I greatly appreciated the simplicity of C# when I started learning Rust
I've been writing C# daily for the last five years and I love the language a lot! I was waiting for this episode for a while now.
can u pls tell which other languages do u knw and how c sharp is diff or better than them in ur opinion ...just asking out of curiosity u can answer briefly
Easy and nice language to use man. Smooth as butter!
I'd love to see a full .NET tutorial, altho I have experience with Unity I never really understood C#. And I haven't seen a good basic C# 101 tutorial.
Take a look at Tim Corey's channel. He is probably the best c# instructor out there.
Seconding with Tim Corey's channel on C# and .Net stuff.
YES, I want that .Net video.
Specifically, there is no video outlining the difference between 2.0 Standard and 4x Framework.
Bonus points for Unity-related info.
I would love to see these 100 seconds videos about new major versions of technologies. Basically a rundown of what's new in the major verison. For example, in a .NET 6 in 100 seconds video, you could talk about the support for global usings and the minimal hosting model.
These have become a part of my morning routine while I'm drinking my coffee. Absolutely love these.
A Blazor course would be sweet! It leverages WebAssembly under the hood and would be cool to see :)
I have a 4 part Blazor WASM video series if thats something you might be interested in.
@@YassaTaiseer I'll check it out right now! thanks
@@Parkuman thanks much appreciated
i learnt this language for unity from brackeys and he was an awesome teacher hats off to him
C# is one of my favourite programming languages. So good.
My favorite channel featuring my favorite language 💯❤️
Destructors are a thing, but a much more common one is the usage of the disposable pattern for elements that need it.
C# is literally the best. Also the documentation is very good. :)
I started with C# a year ago and love it. I would love to see a tutorial on something modern, maybe game or so?
C#'s Microsoft documentation and it's community is GOLD ❤
More C# / .NET6 related content would be awesome!!!
As someone who had worked in Java, transition to C# is easy.
Yes yes yes to a full .NET and Unity tutorial!
Great content, as always!!
Please do a Django, Flask, or ExpressJS in 100 seconds!!
oh yes
In my 5 years of learning and using C# since High School, I wasn't aware of the SQL type query feature.
Thanks!
As a 10 year C# veteran, you have done the language proud. Thank you for showing C#. Is F# next? :)
this channel is one of 5 best channels i follow , now it's the best
C# - the unsung hero of coding languages. Sure, it might not be the 'it' choice for startups, but its robustness, updated features, and amazing community make it a rockstar in its own right.
Agreed. Also do not forget its exceptional versatility.
C# will always be my favorite programming language
FYI, the free and open-source game engine Stride is, unlike Unity, completely written in C# and a game project is also a C# solution file... Quite amazing when you are a C# developer.
I would love to see full DOTNET series from you ✌
.NET 8 is coming, and I feel a storm brewing
Love these videos. I'd be thrilled to see 300 second versions of them.
Please do a full course Jeff, thank you!
My favorite language. Thank you for creating this video!
C# now with .NET 7 can also compile directly to native AOT (machine code) like C, Rust or Go.
Ah C# my go to language. One of the best languages for real world applications (outside of specialized applications).
For me C# was the easiest language to learn and it makes so much fun programming with it.
Love the Syntax, Visual Studio IDE and everything else.
To be honest Visual Studio suck ass
Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
This is the one I've been waiting for! It's finally here! :D
You should have reached out to a C# expert to sanity check the script of the video. There is quite a bit of misinformation in here.
The goat himself is here!
Colab? 👀
👌
you have real mem talent man i love your passive humor it kills me, and thanks for the video that was also helpful.
embrace extend extinguish... Microsoft in a whole beauty
C# has so many features now, that I think future programmers won't be using different languages any more, but subsets of C# ;-)
Would love a .net course, can’t find many learning sources and there’s so many uses for c# it’s hard to know where to start
Hi, can you please name a few real world examples where C# is used? and if you could tell would kind of C# developer jobs are out there, would be awesome
I recommend going to bro code youtube channel and using his c# tutorial it's honestly good
@@PaulStickman obviously windows desktop development and theres many jobs because even in my small country c# is used
@@babatona thanks for the tip! Will be sure to check it out
Check out the C# discord for best guidance :)
Finally!! the C# is here :) We would love to see more of .NET eco system videos
C# was the language we use in our company on my first job. At first i hated it because i dont wanna learn it because im comfortable with PHP and Javascript lol.
My first project was a textblast system and i immediately loved it when i got used to it.
Coincidentally, I also used C# and PHP in my first job as well (2011-2014).
PHP, especially back then, was a mess.
I frankly have no idea how someone could have preferred it over C#.
What had probably contributed to my impression was that the PHP codebase at that place was of poor quality.
This wasn't necessarily PHP's inherent fault, although I feel that in the long run, code quality IS correlated with language quality.
You can spurn shitty code in every language, but some languages make this easier than others. C# did a much better job in encouraging clean design, in my opinion.
Of course this was several years ago; I'm hearing that PHP has made a lot of progress since, addressing a large portion of criticism.
@@vibovitold C# dev here! I was somewhat considering learning PHP, but I only really heard bad things about it so that's good to know
Little by little the 100 seconds series keeps growing🙌🏽 Great video
Well, starting today I'll be learning how to code starting with C#. Wish me luck lol.
How’s it going?
@@daurham Well, save to say I didn't practice as much in my free time as I wished. But I'm doing a short internship at a local software company right know.
And if they decide to take me in, I'll be starting an apprenticeship to become a Software Developer later this year.
They are primarely working in C# aswell, so that would be very fitting.
@@mobwow6833 How's it going?
Have you learned the basics?! Please tell us the truth!
@@hkn5539 In my other reply I talked about the internship I was doing doing and yea I learned the basics while being there. I will be doing an apprenticeship at the same company starting in August this year, and they also hired me to work for them in the meantime. Got my first day on the 16th this month, so I will be learning a lot more about programming in the upcoming months. :)
C# is just as fast as me clicking your notifications
I am using C# since last 10 years and I love it
Loving all the comments about the great documentation. Certainly a fantastic place to get started learning.
C# is made for me. It's just perfect. Very comfortable with it.
C# 10 will remove the need for wrapping your classes inside namespaces. Instead, you can now declare it at the top of the file similarly to a "using" statement.
Before I watched the video, I was half expecting it to talk about the musical note C# due to the video only being 2:26 long. I am pleasantly surprised.
134 seconds, since you start your explanation at the first second and are done at 2:14.
Seriously though, it seems that C# has a better, less verbose way of dealing with null-safe programming and getters/setters, without having to use to resort to things like Lombok. Also WAsm support for blazor is pretty cool. Way more mature than the WAsm support in Java. And this all coming from a Java developer. I should take another look at C# sometime in the future.
First off, yes to the unity tutorial.
Secondly, I'd love one of these short intros to a language/framework for Clojure
A couple of things that really need to be fixed, maybe honestly worth a reupload because the video is already outdated:
.NET Core is no longer relevant, it's just .NET now (.NET5 and soon .NET6)
Xamarin is soon to be deprecated, people are already starting production of .NET MAUI apps (successor of Xamarin with Windows and MacOs support)
Blazor is not only used for web but can also be used to deploy full on Mobile and Desktop apps using MAUI Blazor bindings, Hybrid Components and Blazor Desktop (think electron but more powerful and lightweight)
Next thing is the compilation: While C# is most often Compiled to CIL and then run by the CLR, C# can also be compiled DIRECTLY to machine code with CoreRT or NativeAOT in the future.
Also C# in unity is AFAIK C# script that isn't necessarily compiled to IL but i'm not actually sure about that one.
Garbage Collection also isn't necessarily required when using AOT Compilation if you're doing anything super time sensitive like games.
I work with C# and I love it. GOAT Language and documentation.
Can you do .NET in 100 seconds and Blazor in 100 seconds ? I hear people working on it but never understood clearly what it does
Have been using C# for ten years but still watched this video, just in case, that's how awesome these videos are!
0:43 this is no longer correct. Microsoft's IL2CPP compiler, which is part of visual studio, generates native code with no interpreter anymore. The execution speed is equal to anything created by C++
