Software

  1. Visual Studio IDE: Since you survived CIS300, you probably have a copy of Visual Studio to use. If not, you can download for free either Visual Studio C# Express 2010 or Visual Studio C# Express 2012.

    I wrote some beginner notes about using Visual Studio to build C# Solutions.

    www.dotnetperls.com is a good online reference to using C#.

  2. Nclass: This is a tool for drawing class diagrams and generating C# Solution folders from them. It's free; download it here.
