C# is a programming language developed by Microsoft in 2000. It’s object-oriented, and it was designed to use the best features of C++ and Java. Today, it has a wide range of uses – but its main one is the development of server-side web apps and, sometimes, game development.
ASP.NET, Microsoft’s server-side framework for dynamic web pages, uses C# – so you can use the language to create web services, web applications, and a website. Apart from that, some of the most popular game engines used in today’s gaming industry run on C# – such as Unity.
Around a third of all modern games were built with Unity for a diverse audience numbering hundreds of millions of people. Plus, Unity provides exceptional support for VR platforms, such as the Valve Index or the Oculus Rift. Overall, C# has an extensive library providing plenty of high-level functionalities – more than C++ and Java.
There are plenty of reasons why a freelance C# developer is in high demand these days – for example, the fact that C# is an easy language to start with if you’re a junior software developer. It’s a high-level language, and while it’s in the same family of popular object-oriented languages as C++, Java, and C, it's easier to learn than most.
Today, C# is frequently used for developing desktop and web applications. And seeing as it was created by Microsoft, it’s understandable why it’s still a go-to language for creating Microsoft apps.
Also, it’s worth remembering that a programming language is easier to learn and master if it has a large community of developers – which is definitely the case with C#. However, the question of whether it’s right for your project depends on what you’re working on. Web development and desktop projects are routinely developed using C# because it’s a higher-level programming language.
However, if you’re working on a project that includes software for embedded systems, driver software, or pretty much anything low that’s close to machine-level code – you’ll probably be better served with a lower language like C++. It’s not as easy to work with or learn because C# usually handles a lot of “overhead” that the programmer would otherwise have to take care of manually in C++.
The length of a project depends on many factors, including the scope of your project and the technical complexity of it. When you post a freelance C# project request on Codementor, you’ll have the option to indicate when you’d expect the project to be completed. We suggest chatting with the interested developers to ensure both sides are on the same page. For more information on how to post a freelance C# request on Codementor, check out our article.
We don’t charge anything when you post a freelance hiring request for C# developers! You’ll have the chance to determine what the budget for your project is when you post the request. You’ll only need to pay the developer if you’re 100% satisfied with their work. Please know that Codementor charges a small service fee when a developer completes the job.
Most C# developers work on programs and apps for the Windows OS, usually within the .NET framework. Their tasks include designing and creating user interfaces, writing and debugging code, and maintaining programs.
A successful freelance C# programmer must possess in-depth knowledge of the .NET framework and C# itself, along with high-level coding and problem-solving abilities. Ideally, a freelance C# candidate will be capable of full-stack development.
In practice, this usually means a bachelor’s degree in information technology, computer science, computer programming, or other related fields, with a Microsoft Visual Studio certificate and relevant experience with .NET 3.5 (minimum) and C#.
If you’re looking for a senior or mid-level candidate, at least 2 years of work experience as a freelance C# developer is required. Also, knowledge of C++, C, Java, or any other programming languages is a plus.
In terms of “soft skills,” someone with excellent verbal and written communication capabilities is a good candidate – and being able to complete tasks with little to no supervision is excellent too.
We do a comprehensive technical and communications screen of all C# developers at Codementor.
