C# Programming

Mon Mar 23, 2015 9:35 pm

I'm really new to programming for the Raspberry Pi and I was wondering if C# is an acceptable language for writing code for the hardware or will I encounter issues along the way.

Thank you

Don't forget that Pi runs a complete operating system.
It is not a simple microcontroller.

Mono seems what C# devs use under Linux.

The Windows 10 "IoT" version for Raspberry Pi 2 will be something very likely like the Windows for Intel Galileo - a minimalistic Windows build on which .NET/C# is available as a development platform with some SDK. On Linux there is Mono, but that's not the first choice for scripting Raspberry.
