Software Resources Students in the Department of Computer Science have access
to a number of software resources.
- Microsoft Developers Network Academic Associates
MSDNAA. This link will
take you to the Department's portal to the MSDNAA. All students enrolled in
courses offered by the Department will be enrolled in the MSDNAA. Students
will be able to purchase products like Visual Studio.NET and Windows operating
systems at substantial discounts. When you
are enrolled in MSDNAA, you will be enrolled using your SE Key e-mail address. MSDNAA will assign you a password and e-mail it to you at your SE Key
address.
- The Department will be using
Visual C++ Toolkit
2003
for C++ programming. This product is part of the Visual Studio.NET product.
However, the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 is likewise available as a standalone
product as a free
download. It is approximately 30 MB in size and is self-extracting. Since it
runs in a DOS box, it will run on computers that lack the power to run the full
Visual Studio.NET.
- Freeware Editors The following editors are freeware. You may download and use them without
restriction. None of them is very large, and all of them provide you with much more flexibility
and fewer "gotchas" than NotePad or WordPad. Feel free to download them and try them. Select
the one with which you feel most comfortable.
- Open Office This is the open source portion of Star Office. It is available
for a number of different operating systems. You may download load from the
Open Office Web site. What is new
in Open Office is the inclusion of database capability.
