• There are lightweight versions of the development software available free from Microsoft that you might want to consider
  
  Visual Web Developer Express: This includes only the web application parts of the full Visual Studio, so its a smaller install. It can handle everything we need for this course.
  
  SQL Server 2008 Express: This is as a stand alone program, but is also included with Visual Studio, and could be all you need for working on your own computer. If you use this it would be useful to download and install the free SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express.
