What Internet connectivity is required on the students computer?
Most of the coursework is done offline, on the student’s own computer, so a permanent Internet connection is not required to complete the course. However, be aware that you will need to download a large software package from Microsoft (your Visual Studio development environment) at the beginning of the course. Please refer to the Visual Basic or Visual C# download and install instructions for details! Secondarily, the Visual Studio Help Library (MSDN) is most conveniently accessed with an online configuration instead of downloading a very large set of additional help files to the local computer. You may wish to walk through the procedures prior to purchasing the course if there are any questions about your ability to complete the download and install the software on your computer! Once you complete the initial software download, then the student’s computer may be disconnected from the Internet unless you would like to use the online MSDN Help Library.
