could someone explain to me what is the difference between writing a property like this

public string Name{  get; set;  }

and this

public string Name()
{
    get
    {
        return _name;
    }
    set
    {
        _name = value;
    }
}

if the top one is as easy to write/implement as it seems then why aren't all properties wrote in this fashion?

Because sometime you need to do something else that store value in getter or setter. Former is basically syntactic sugar for latter. – rholek Apr 15 '16 at 21:13
