[Note: to use the Visual Studio Servers, you must first send your NetId to one of the TA's, Kevin Yip or Yitong Yin.] We will be using Microsoft's Visual Studio.NET (VS.NET) integrated development environment (IDE) for C# programming. It's what is usedin the textbook, it's what I will demonstrate in class, and it's what you will use to develop your own programs and turn in homework assignments. You are welcome to purchase VS.NET on your own, but a simpler approach is to use one of the VS Servers, which you can do remotely from the comfort of your own computer. See instructions below. You can also download a free version to your own computer -- see below. Once you are on the server, you can run VS.NET as follows: More detailed instructions on running VS.NET can be found in the textbook.

Free Version of VS.NET for Windows For those interested in downloading a free copy of VS.NET to your own
machine, go to
www.yale.edu/msdnaa, click on "Sign Up," and follow the directions. I would
recommend downloading "Visual Studio.NET 2003 Professional" (rather than 2005),
since the 2003 version is the one that we're using on the servers. |
