Developer Tools

For the lecture you should have installed the following tools on your laptop:

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (Pro / Ultimate)
  • Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools für Visual Studio 2010
• Microsoft Expression Blend 4 Ultimate
• TortoiseSVN
• Firefox with Firebug Extension

@My students
Our university already paid for your licenses and joined the MSDN Academic Alliance (MSDN-AA). So get the software while it’s hot!

Log into the universities VPN portal and install and run the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client. Your machine must be a part of the universities network or the MSDN login will fail! (even with the correct login credentials!)

Visit the MSDN-AA login form and search for:

• “Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate (x86) - DVD (English)”
• “Expression Studio 4 Ultimate (x86) - DVD (English)”

@Other visitors
Don’t’ worry if you don’t have access to the MSDN-AA.
The tools from Microsoft Dreamspark are fine too. High Schools, Vocational and Trade Schools, Community Colleges and Universities are all eligible to participate in the DreamSpark program.
