I have three students who are having trouble installing VS.NET. If you feel qualified (or feel that you could become so in a short time) to help them then please send me an e-mail (rlamoni at our school's domain). I am sure they would appreciate the help.
What the monkey poop is vs.net?
Visual Studio .NET (or VS.NET) is a software package sold by Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com) that is used for developing software. In the SIUE Computer Science Department (http://www.cs.siue.edu), it is the first IDE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment) (Integrated Development Environment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment)) that students are taught how to use (http://www.cs.siue.edu/csd/courses.pl?action=view&courseno=CS140). The purpose of an IDE is to make computer programming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming) easier by providing useful tools together as a package. VS.NET supports several languages including C++, C#, and Visual Basic. It can also be used as a web site/application developer.
There are many alternatives to Visual Studio that work on different operating systems, have different features, and support different languages. Some of these include Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/), kdevelop (http://www.kdevelop.org/), and Anjuta (http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/).
If you need more information about VS.NET specifically I suggest you try Microsoft’s Vsiual Studio Website (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio). (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio)
If you are taking a computer science class and need a copy of VS.NET for your home computer I suggest you visit CSD (http://www.cs.siue.edu/csd) (http://www.cs.siue.edu/csd) and click on the MSDNAA link at the left of the screen.
Ah sorry, I don't pay too much attention to the Microsoft side of the house and when I googled vs.net it came up with only one result. I, being a retard, didn't realize it just showed me the web page http://vs.net.
I can help them out. Just tell them to find me in FH0301 on any Monday 10:00am - 1:30pm.
