C# is a programming language that has many uses. As a general-purpose language based on a similar structure and syntax to C++ and JavaScript, C# works on the Microsoft .NET framework and can be used to code games, apps for mobile, desktop and the web, and also create databases.

C# is the third most popular programming language behind Python and C++, which makes it a skill that is worth having if you are a front end, back end, or even a full-stack developer. The similarity of the language in C# to JavaScript and C++ makes the skills transferable between these three languages in particular.

What other skills are required for C#?

As with all coding and programming, understanding the structure and syntax of commands is necessary for agile use of C#. Users need to be able to think logically about a problem and have great critical thinking skills. The best C# developers are excellent team players who can communicate complicated code structures to non-users in a succinct and understandable way.

Why is knowledge of C# important?

C# is a well-known and well-used language, and as it is used in the .NET framework of Microsoft, its popularity is growing. C# knowledge can be applied in the back end and customer-facing design, as well as in developing apps that are easy to use for both customers and businesses.

BEFORE YOU START

Your C# questions, answered.

Do candidates write code in the C# test?

This assessment checks C# knowledge through questions. Add a practical coding task and code review when you need evidence of how candidates build, test and maintain working code.

Which C# topics should matter for my role?

Start with the work the person will do. This page covers language fundamentals, object-oriented programming, .net concepts. Decide which of those areas matter for your role before reviewing results, and explore any specialist requirements separately.

Can I combine C# with other tests?

Yes. Add C# alongside other relevant tests in one assessment. Choose the combination for your role and review the total time before inviting candidates.

Can I assess real candidates for free?

Yes. Create your account, build an assessment and invite candidates. Your first 5 candidate results are free. No credit card is required.

What happens after my free results?

You pay per candidate result you unlock, rather than per test. There is no subscription or annual commitment. Check the pricing page for current rates.

How should I use the C# results?

Compare results against the knowledge or ability your role needs. Use them to focus interviews and practical tasks, alongside relevant experience. A test score should not decide who you hire on its own.
