I get paid to use it. That's pretty awesome. Tough question though. To be honest, I don't know the answer (a serious answer anyway)...
I do like how easy it is to find examples online. I don't think that's specific to C# but 99% of the examples I find happen to be in C#. Wow. I'm struggling to justify why I'm using it, other than it's familiar due to using curly braces. (prior Java and C experience from Uni). Good question! :) cheers, Stephen On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 10:22 AM, Michael Minutillo < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a friend who is learning C# (and the .NET framework) for the first > time.
