SOFTWARE FACILITIES
Our facilities enable students to write, test, and debug Java programs in the environment of their choice: Windows or Linux. We are part of the MSNDAA which enables us to provide our students with free copies of Microsoft software for them to load on their own computers. Examples of this free software include Windows XP, Visual Studio.NET, and Visio.
Our labs are loaded and continuously updated with popular and useful software such as Office XP, Visual Studio.NET, WinZip, etc. Furthermore, we are part of the Oracle Academic Initiative which enables us to provide students with self-paced training in Oracle 9i.
