The Beginning of the C# Era

The C# language was first introduced in 1999. In January 1999, Anders Hejlsberg created a group of programmers to construct another language called Cool, which meant "C-like Object-Oriented Language". When .NET was freely declared at the July 2000 Professional Developers Conference, the language was renamed C#, and the class libraries and ASP.NET runtime was ported to C#. Microsoft considered keeping the name "Cool" as the last name of the language, but decided not for trademark reasons.
