C# is one of the most popular programming languages in the world because it is both powerful and beginner-friendly. Developed by Microsoft and released in 2002, C# is a general-purpose programming language, which means that you can create all sorts of things with it - desktop applications, web-based apps, games, mobile apps, AI apps, IoT. Probably if you think of something, you can develop it with C#.
C#’s popularity has only increased since its beginning, and the higher demand for C# professionals can help you jumpstart your IT career.
To learn more about C# and what makes it a great choice for everyone who wants to start an IT career, we decided to talk to the expert - Kiril Stanoev - technical trainer at Telerik Academy Alpha - the fastest path to a successful career as a developer.
Passionate about teaching and devoted to helping people thrive, Kiril joined Telerik Academy as a technical trainer after more than 10 years as a software engineer and product manager at Progress.

C# is a great programming language for beginners. It is easy to learn and use, but that does not mean the language is limited in functionality. On the contrary!
C# is a powerful and flexible programming language used daily by many developers. The language is constantly evolving because of the strong community that has been using it for nearly 20 years, with new features continually added.
Many developers prefer C# because it is also a cross-platform language. C# can be used effectively to build applications. One of them is Visual Studio, an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs, as well as websites, web apps, web services and mobile apps.
To build games with Unity (one of the most popular game engines), you need to know C#. This engine is also used for VR and AR development.
Exciting times to be a C# developer!
Today, more and more traditional industries rely on data and software programs! We can see the influence of computer science and ICT in everything around us - from science research to healthcare development, transportation, banking, communications, and more. Even household appliances such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, washing machines and even our door locks have internet access now.
Regardless of its form, the computer, in all its variations, is a powerful tool to make our lives easier and help us find solutions to many pressing problems. To achieve this goal, however, we need to know how to manage computers successfully and efficiently, and the most direct way to do this is by learning programming skills.
