This course uses Visual Studio 2008 and will primarily focus on C++ when a programming language is specified.

Visual Studio 2008 is available in many laboratories on campus, including LF105 and LF111/LF111A.

Thanks to licensing agreements with Microsoft, Visual Studio may be legally acquired for use on personal computers. You may purchase the program on media from the IUS bookstore.

You may also download the compressed install files from IUware Online. There is no additional charge to students to download this and many other programs, however you will have to provide your own media if you would like a "hard copy" of the program.
