A History of C sharp

By

C# is similar to Java in terms of syntax; it is an object-oriented language from Microsoft that started around 1997. C# also known as C sharp is available to run on multiple platforms, such as Windows, UNIX, Linux and Solaris.
C# uses the Microsoft .NET framework and the Mono framework to be interpreted and translated into a language that is capable of running fast on any computer. C sharp is the third most popular language to be use with these frameworks and it is the most popular .NET language used today by .NET programmers.
Anders Hejlsberg was the lead architect and principal designer of C#, he was involved with the design of Turbo Pascal, Embarcadero Delphi and Visual J++ before the creation of C sharp. The design of C# was driven by flaws in most major programming languages such as C++, Java, Delphi and Smalltalk, according to Anders Hejlsberg.
C# however, was called an imitation of Java, by James Gosling, the creator of Java programming language and the co-founder of Microsystems Bill Joy, the originator of Java. Gosling went on to say that C# doesn’t have the reliability, productivity and security features that Java can offer programmers.
Anders Hejlsberg argues that C# is much closer to C++ in its design than to Java, but the authors of C++ Klaus Kreft and Angelika Langer claimed in a blog post that Java and C# are almost identical programming languages; they said that the language was a “boring repetition that lacks innovation," "Hardly anybody will claim that Java or C# are revolutionary programming languages that changed the way we write programs," and "C# borrowed a lot from Java”.
But C# language was intended to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.
Software robustness, durability, and programmer productivity are important for this language to achieve. The originators of the language wanted the language, and implementations of it to provide support for software engineering by doing tasks that some languages require to be done with long processes such as doing uninitialized variables, and automatic garbage collection.
The language makes it easier for network wide deployments and reduces the amount of redundant code because it takes advantage of software maintained on the computer as building blocks.
Support for international languages is very important for C sharp as well, because hosted and embedded systems, ranging from the very large that use sophisticated operating systems, down to the very small having dedicated functions are intended to be suitable for writing applications with C#.
The language was not intended to compete directly on performance and size with C, C++ or assembly language, but C# applications are also intended to be economical with regard to memory and processing power requirements.

Chrysler Deletes Its Dating Apps, Decides To Remain Single For Now

By
They say you can’t have a healthy relationship until you’re happy with yourself. That appears to be the new mantra for Fiat Chrysler: After several attempts to woo General Motors and more recently Volkswagen , the carmaker’s top executive says he plans to ditch his lovelorn ways to concentrate on his company’s bottom line.  Bloomberg reports that CEO Sergio Marchionne has turned his focus to eliminating FCA’s debt rather than eliminating its single status. Marchionne has set a goal of erasing FCA’s debt by 2019, the same year he’s set to retire. To do that, he says the company needs to do a little work on itself. “We need to be very careful that we don’t start unrealistic dreams about consolidation as we are on our way to achieve historically important results and a debt-free position,” Marchionne told investors at the carmaker’s annual meeting in Amsterdam, as reported by Bloomberg. “We are not at a point of time to discuss any alliance.” Yes, you heard that right: The man w...

Study Claims 43% Of “Wild” Salmon In Stores & Restaurants Isn’t Wild At All

By
That wild salmon entrée calling to you from the menu at dinner might not be all it’s advertised. In fact a new study released Wednesday found evidence of mislabeling in nearly half of all salmon sold in restaurants and grocery stores.  The study [ PDF ] from international environmental advocacy group, Oceana, analyzed 82 salmon samples from restaurants and grocery stores, finding that 43% of the products were mislabeled. DNA testing confirmed that 69% of the mislabeled product consisted of farmed Atlantic salmon being sold as wild-caught product. According to the report, consumers satisfying their salmon craving in restaurants are misled about 67% of the time, while those who buy their seafood in a grocery store are misled 20% of the time. “Americans might love salmon, but as our study reveals, they may be falling victim to a bait and switch,” Beth Lowell, senior campaign director at Oceana, said . “When consumers opt for wild-caught U.S. salmon, they don’t expect to get a far...

Introduction to Biology (IX Biology Notes Chapter 01)

By
Science: Our universe operates under certain principles. For understanding of these principles, the experiments are done and observations are made; on the basis of which logical conclusions are drawn. Such a study is called "Science". In brief science is the knowledge based on experiments and observations. Biology: The Scientific study of living organisms is called Biology. The word biology is derived from two Greek words "bios" meaning life and "logos" meaning thought, discourse, reasoning or study. It means that all aspects of life and every type of living organism are discussed in biology. Branches of Biology: Biology is divided into following branches: Morphology The study of form and structure of living organisms is called morphology. It can be further divided into following two parts: 1. The study of external parts of living organism is called external morphology. 2. The study of internal parts of living organism is calle...
