GitHub Student Developer Pack - The best developer tools, free for students.

We're really excited to release the GitHub Student Developer Pack, giving students access to real tools to get the experience they need. It's been an absolute pleasure working with all of the partner companies.

Github really did all the legwork on this project and did an awesome job with it. It's great to see type of projects like this getting students involved with the web and social code. I often think the education system itself isn't doing enough to further web development and the advancement of the application layer. Proud to see DigitalOcean involved in this. :)

I feel like Microsoft DreamSpark should be on this list too - all the microsoft tools you could want for free, if you're a student. https://www.dreamspark.com/ If you're a startup, there's Bizspark.. you get all the software, plus limited free azure hosting plus you get things like $100 credits to spend on oDesk/elance http://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/

this is possibly the greatest thing ever for students. I hope it inspires some amazing projects :)

Especially awesome that @MLHacks is the events sponsor! It's never been a better time to be a student developer!

As a student, I can say that this pack has been of much greater help than any single resource for students provided by any organization. Also, it is good to know that the pack has been growing since it began through more and more partner organizations. Kudos to Github and the partners for making this! Keep up the good work! :)

This is neat. I wish I was still a student!

I wish I had this when I was a student.

Very happy with the Github education tool. All students must have access to it.

Too bad I'm not a student anymore. Good work.
