The Entry Point
To keep things simple, we make exclusive use of console applications in the language-oriented chapters. Doing so allows us to concentrate on the essentials of the programming language without getting distracted by user interface (UI) definitions and so on.
One thing to consider first is the managed code entry point, which is where execution of the program starts. Different types of applications have such an entry point, including console applications and graphical user interface (GUI) applications built with Windows Forms or Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Other technologies, such as ASP.NET web applications, start execution of managed code in a different way, but let’s not go there now.
