Student Sample files - Mainly for students without access to them online. Zip file creates a folder for each module.

Mac Users

There is no MAC version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. You will need to have access to a Windows machine running Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.

Most newer Macs can run BootCamp to dual-boot between OS X and Windows. Also many Mac users also already own Parallels or Fusion from VMWare. Both of those options allow them to use Visual studio 2010 as well (see below).

Visual Studio 2010 is available in the 4th floor labs in Mary Gates Hall.

Software Available

Many versions and feature sets of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 are "free" to iSchool students at: MSDN Academic Alliance Software Center

If you have trouble getting the software

The MSDNAA system uses a unique login and password - not your UW NetID - and password.

iSchool students: that password was emailed to you when you enrolled in the program. In addition, if you attended the iSchool orientation, we passed out an IT orientation handout that described that login and password in more detail.

Non-iSchool students: The iSchool Help Desk (iHelp@uw.edu or MGH 330Y) can help you get an ID and answer your questions.

Here is what you need to do:

  1. Go to this site to login: MSDN Academic Alliance Software Center
  2. Click the LOGIN button on the left to login.
  3. On the right side, there is a dialog box that says "Login Help", and a link to click if you forgot your password.
  4. Click that link and when asked for your username enter your UW email address, ie. xxxx@uw.edu
  5. Your password will be emailed to you.
  6. Once you have it go back to the site above, login with your UW email address and enter the password mailed to you. You should then be able to download the program.

The iSchool Help Desk (iHelp@uw.edu) is well versed in helping you order and installing the MSDNAA software.
