     Imperative Programming in C  Visual Studio quick start guide
  Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. Built-in languages include C, C++ and C++/CLI (via Visual C++), VB.NET (via Visual Basic .NET), C# (via Visual C#), and F#. Support for other languages such as M, Python, and Ruby among others is available via language services installed separately. It also supports XML/XSLT, HTML/XHTML, JavaScript and CSS. Microsoft provides "Express" editions of its Visual Studio at no cost. Commercial versions of Visual Studio along with select past versions are also available for free to students via Microsoft's DreamSpark program. Visual Studio 2010 Professional is available on all University machines.   Visual Studio 2013 Professional is available to download from Dreamspark.    This guide is intended to get you started in developing C applications using Visual Studio. As mentioned in the Lab 1 document, we recommend you use either Dev-C++ or Visual Studio for this module. The lab documents concentrate on Dev-C++ because it’s a very simple IDE that contains only the functionality needed to complete the exercises, and it is the only IDE we officially support in terms of tech support. However  Dev-C++  is  not  a  good  choice  for  actual  professional  development.  Most professional (windows based) programmers will code in Visual Studio, and so if you’d prefer to use this feature rich IDE then this guide is intended as a quick start guide.
