UNT is partnering with Microsoft to provide free access to cutting-edge development software that could help students become the next generation of software programmers.
Through its participation in DreamSpark, Microsoft’s program that provides free development software to students, UNT’s Computing and Information Technology Center is allowing students to download full professional versions of Visual Studio 2008, Expression Studio, Windows Server 2003 and XNA Game Studio 2.0.
Visual Studio 2008 is Microsoft’s primary toolkit for developing programs in a Windows environment and includes the programming languages Visual C#, Visual C++, Visual J#, and Visual Basic. Programmers use Expression Studio – which comprises Expression Web, Expression Blend, Expression Design, and Expression Media – to design and create rich interactive Web pages in a variety of formats. XNA Game Studio 2.0 lets programmers create games for Windows and the Xbox 360.
The Dreamspark program also comes with a 12-month trial subscription to Creators Club, which is software that allows programmers to build and play their game ideas on Xbox 360 systems.
