My C, C++, and C# Skills

What are C, C++, and C#?

C, C++, and C# are not necessarily similar. I have combined them into one tab because I have less experience with them than I do in the other programming languages I know.

C is a general-purpose procedural programming language. C was created in the 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs with the goal of creating utilities for a new version of Unix. While it is a high level language, C is designed to be compiled and provides low-level access to computer memory.

C++ is a general-purpose procedural and object-oriented programming language. It was created by Bjarne Stroustrup in the early 1980s at Bell Labs. C++ is considered an extension of C, to provide higher-level features like classes, inheritance, and references.

C# (pronounced C sharp) is also a general-purpose procedural and object-oriented programming language, but it is not a direct extension of C. C# was created by Anders Hejlsberg at Microsoft in 1999, with the intention of creating a language similar to C, but more object-oriented in nature. C# is much more abstracted than C and C++, and provides high-level assistance like garbage collection and compiler warnings.

Here is a handy comparison of the three languages from Upwork:

How do I know C, C++, and C#?

I learned rudimentary C in my Computer Architecture course at Duke University, where it was taught as a way to familiarize students with computer memory.

I learned C++ in a 2D Computer Graphics course at Duke, where I used it to efficiently manage pixel values and create graphics.

I learned C# as an intern at Nextech Systems, where it was used to support the Angular framework behind our company product (IntelleChartPRO, an electronic medical record system designed for ophthalmology practices).

What can I do with C, C++, and C#?

Unfortunately my contracts prevent me from sharing samples of my past work in these languages, but I have a basic understanding of and can implement basic functions in C, C++, and C#.
