C# is a great high level language and .NET framework is a massive expandable library. And the whole purpose is to make programmers' lives easier. High level languages let programmers to put more time on solving the main problem rather than dealing with things like portability, serialization, etc.

the purpose of C# is like the purpose of java, except it is only meant for microsoft operating systems (there is a port to linux: mono, but I think you don't have the entire library).

It can be used for web development, desktop development and windows mobile development
