It has been reported to me from a current NH student that he was able to purchase the full version of Visual Studio 2008 at the student discount price from CostCaptain.com by providing and official list of his classes and this drivers license.  Microsoft does not officially recognize New Horizons students as being eligible for the student discount however this company as supposedly may.  Be cautious but it might be worth checking out.

The first stub project has been posted to JasonPresleyBlog.net.  These projects are small sample projects with minimum direction to help challenge and enhance your development skills.  Each project contains a working example, a complete solution file as well as a starter file that contains only the comments necessary to guide you in your development.  The first stub project, which is creating a login user control, is broken up into two parts.  Part 1 is building the login form and adding some advanced validation methods.  You can find these stub projects on JasonPresleyBlog.net.

A wiki has been set up to allow NHKC development students a site in which they can communicate with each other outside of class as well as with students in other development tracks. This site is designed to allow for the posting and answering of course related questions, helpful links, exam preparation tips and other helpful information. To view and register for access to this site please visit www.jasonpresleyexamwiki.net  (your account will needed to be approved so please be patient).
