Microsoft’s Imagine Access: The student’s one-stop shop for all things code

Sometimes getting started in programming can be intimidating, but finding the tools to learn how to code shouldn’t be. That’s why we’ve created Imagine Access, your all-access pass to the software tools you need no matter your skill level or experience, and all at no cost to students!

Through Imagine Access, you can get tools like Kodu to create games on a Windows PC using a simple visual programming language – even if – especially if, you have little to no experience coding.

Or maybe you know the basics of development, but want to take your skill to the next level. With free tools like SmallBasic and WebMatrix, you’ll start building the kinds of games, apps and websites you use every day and develop the skills you need to turn your idea into something real. (We’re self-admitted Project Spark fans here, by the way.)

Already fairly adept at building apps, games and websites? Imagine Access also has professional-grade tools like Visual Studio Community 2013, Unity Game Engine and Xamarin to help you gain a competitive edge so you can turn your application or game into the next big thing.

Check it out and get started on your first or next amazing game or app today! And don’t forget to tell us what you think of Imagine Access on Twitter (@MSFTImagine), Facebook or share a screenshot of what you’ve got going on Instagram. We want to hear from you.

Go make the next big thing. We’ll be waiting for you over at Imagine Access!
