Hi.

I'm posting this here because I don't receive comp.windows.ms.programmer at
my site.

I wish to start developing my own Windows applications.  I want to use MS C 6.0
and the SDK, but I don't want to spend a ton of money.  I think I have seen
posts stating that the SDK was available for around $150 with the educational
discount from Microsoft.  My university's store is asking $279 for it, and they
say this is the price with the discount.  Is that correct?  Does anyone have
Microsoft's number that I could call for pricing info?

What is a good price for MS C 6.0?  Is there an educational discount available
for it?  Are there any more cost-effective ways to develop for Windows (i.e.
a different compiler that works, but is less expensive)?  Are there any good
books on developing applications in Windows?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Bryon Daly,  ECE grad student at large
