Why C# is Popular in 2019?
It is a general-purpose language designed for developing apps on the Microsoft platform and requires the .NET framework on Windows to work. C# is often thought of as a hybrid that takes the best of C and C++ to create a truly modernized language. Although the .NET framework supports several other coding languages, C# has quickly become one of the most popular.
C# can be used to create almost anything but is particularly strong at building Windows desktop applications and games.C# can also be used to develop web applications and has become increasingly popular for mobile development too. Cross-platform tools such as Xamarin allow apps written in C# to be used on almost any mobile device.
C# is widely-used to create games using the Unity game engine, which is the most popular game engine today. More than a third of top games are made with Unity, and there are approximately 770 million active users of games created using the Unity engine. Unity is also used for VR, with 90% of all Samsung Gear and 53% of all Oculus Rift VR games developed using Unity.
C# is a very popular tool for creating these applications, and so makes a great choice for any programmer hoping to break into the game development industry, or for anyone interested in virtual reality.
Being powerful, flexible, and well-supported has meant C# has quickly become one of the most popular programming languages available. Today, it is the 4th most popular programming language, with approximately 31% of all developers using it regularly. It is also the 3rd largest community on StackOverflow(which was built using C#) with more than 1.1 million topics.
This popularity translates into a thriving job market — more than 17,000 C# jobs are advertised each month (globally) with an average salary of more than $72,000. Narrowing down to the US only, there are more than 6,000 jobs advertised each month with an annual salary of $92,000.
