The last thing students need

The last thing a student needs when trying to learn good programming techniques is Microsoft's WYSIWYG programming tools. My advice would be to steer clear and use some simple open source stuff. Get involved in a popular open source project and you'll learn what being a good developer is all about. Not just end up another graduate clone who knows hows all about Windows and nothing about development.
