Dreamspark is the name of the Microsoft initiative to give students free developer tools so "you can chase your dreams and create the next big breakthrough in technology - or just get a head start on your career."

As of right now, this program is only avaiable to students from the US, UK, Canada, China, Germany, France, Finaldn, Spain, Sweeden, Switzerland and Belguim.

So if you are a student in one of those countries, it's your lucky day.

I was born in Bulgaria. My immediate family and I relocated to Syracuse, NY in 1995. I completed high school in Syracuse, and then continued my education at Alfred University. My major at Alfred University was Computer Science. I also obtained a minor in Management Information Systems (MIS) to bridge the gap between technology and the business world. One of my future goals is to extend that bridge by obtaining a Master's degree in Business Administration. Boyan is a DZone MVB and is not an employee of DZone and has posted 26 posts at DZone.
