CS Student Software

posted by Chun Kei Li on Sept. 14, 2020, 5:42 p.m.

Hello Members, As the Fall semester begins, the period of free student software continues. This software is available through SFU as well as Github. Let me give you a quick rundown of the softwares and websites available to you that I find most useful.

CMPT Course Offerings (https://coursys.sfu.ca/browse/pages/cmpt) - A list of CMPT courses available, as well as archived emails sent out by the professor for each course. SFU Vault (https://vault.sfu.ca/) - google drive but SFU. 50GB quota. SFU Library Criterion on Demand (https://databases.lib.sfu.ca/record/61245132430003610/Criterion-on-Demand) - Netflix but SFU and free. They have a surprisingly good selection. SFU Free software (https://www.sfu.ca/itservices/technical/software.html) - Free software for all SFU students. CMPT software (http://www.sfu.ca/computing/about/support/csil/windows/how-to-get-software.html) - Free software for SFU comp sci students Github education (https://education.github.com/pack) - get verified and get some really useful project software

There are many more free for student software out there, but these are the ones that I find most helpful. Please email me at ckl47@sfu.ca if you have any other resources that you find useful, and I’ll make sure to amend it to the list in the next helpful software list.

Best Regards, Argus (Chun Kei) Li, Director of Communications, SFU CSSS
