Visual Studio .NET Academic
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Academic is a new addition to the Visual Studio .NET family of development tools. Visual Studio .NET Academic incorporates all the features of Visual Studio .NET Professional and adds several new course management features, including assignment managers, documentation, and sample code. This is the first time that Microsoft has built technology into Visual Studio to serve professors and students exclusively. Academic faculty can utilize the course management tools to publish assignments on the web and track student progress. Another cool feature for assignments is the code extraction which allows faculty to remove lines from working code challenging the students to correctly write the replacing code. Along with code writing wizards, excellent student and faculty based documentation, and rich sample code, Visual Studio .NET Academic provides an excellent suite of developer tools based on the .NET framework.

The Panic Room
One might wonder how the movie The Panic Room and Information/Communication Technology and education would have any type of connection at all.
