Abstract. Fast technology changes more or less influence teaching of introductory programming courses due to the need for teaching content to be up-to- date. Because the choice of what language to teach first influences many students' first impressions of information technology. The purpose of this paper is to submit analyses based on a comparison on which language is better as the primary language taught as an introductory language for Information Technology students. In this paper I intend to show and compare both C# and Java as appropriate introductory programming languages for IT students. Each language has pros and cons for use in an introductory programming language course; however I make a suggestion as to which is the most optimal choice.

Keywords: C#, Java, programming, object-oriented, information technology, introductory course, Microsoft,.NET, Visual Studio.
