Getting Microsoft Visual Studio and the MSDN Library
University of Calgary students can get a free copy of Microsoft Visual Studio. If you have your own computer, we recommend that you do this as its often easier to develop on your own machine than on a university computer (which may restrict what you can do due to security issues).
- Go to https://msdn01.e-academy.com/ucalgary_cs/index.cfm?loc=login/login.
- Click on ">> Forgot Password?"
- Enter your full U Calgary preferred or cpsc email address as your username and then click on "Go Find It!"
- Once you are in, click the 'Softare link' to see what you can download.
- From then on, it should be fairly straightforward to download Visual Studio and the MSDN library.
