What is the difference between C# and .NET?

What is the difference between C# and .NET?

C# is a programming language
→C# syntax is highly expressive, yet it is also simple and easy to learn.
The curly-brace syntax of C# will be instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with C, C++ or Java.
Developers who know any of these languages are typically able to begin to work productively in C# within a very short time.

.NET is a framework for building applications on Windows
→ .NET framework is not limited to C# there are different languages that can target .net framework and build applications using that framework examples are F# and VB.NET
→has two components
  • CLR (Common Language Runtime) 
  • Class libray for building applications
The knowledge of C# implies some knowledge of .NET (because the C# object model corresponds to the .NET object model and you can do something interesting in C# just by using .NET libraries).
The opposite isn't necessarily true as you can use other languages to write .NET applications.

MTA 98-361: How I passed MTA - Software Development Fundamentals?

MTA 98-361: How I passed MTA - Software Development Fundamentals? :) Let’s Define Microsoft Technology Associate     (c) Microsoft     (c) Useful Link Who should take this exam?     (c) Microsoft What Skills do I need to study for the Exam?

In my opinion, the Certification is just a reward from studying very hard. The most important thing is not just by getting the certificate

What is the difference between Pascal Case and Camel Case?

Pascal case is a subset of Camel Case where the first letter is capitalized. That is,  userAccount is a camel case and  UserAccount is a Pascal case. The conventions of using these are different. You use camel case for variables and Pascal case for Class names or Constructors. It is easy to remember. Pascal is a proper noun so capitalize the first letter. camel is a common noun, so you do not capitalize the first letter. Talking from a programmer's perspective,  PascalCase  means the first char should be capitalized while  camelCase  means the first char should be lowercased. To remember camel case you have to think about the shape of the capital letters. They are like the humps of a camel as you can see this image. Pascal Casing  - capitalizes each word: ThisShouldBePascalCase Camel Casing  - is similiar to pascal case but the first word is not capitalized: thisShouldBeCamelCase In general both can be considered equivalent although by definition "Camel
