Microsoft & GitHub: Technology for all students, everyone, everywhere

The GitHub Student Developer Pack is a great free offer for those students, with terrific tools and services from GitHub partners, but felt it could use something more: our world-class IDE. Earlier this week we announced that Visual Studio Community 2013 is joining the GitHub Student Developer Pack, and is tailor-made for the student, startup, open-source, and cross-plat communities, many of whom can be found on GitHub already.

Get the tools the pros use, free. As part of the GitHub Student Developer Pack you can start building apps like a pro with state-of-the-art tools, services, and the power of the cloud. It's everything you need to plan, code, and ship your next great idea.

We’re inviting GitHub-loving students to check out more of our great free tools such as SQL Server and Windows Store developer accounts, as well as our free training courses on Microsoft Virtual Academy including how to get started with GitHub in Visual Studio.

We’ve been connecting students with our dev tools for years. With partners like GitHub, we’ll continue to ensure student developers worldwide in every community have access to the tools and resources they need to continue building their skills and bringing their ideas to life.
