The Trinidad and Tobago Computer Society is pleased to announce TTCS OSSWIN online, an online resource of Free and Open Source Software for Microsoft Windows 10/8/7.
The web-based interface allows you to quickly browse the variety of software organised into the following categories:
Desktop Applications
Educational
Games
Graphics
Internet
Server
Sound and Video
Utilities
Each program has information about on what the program does, a screenshot or a video showing the program in action, and to find a link to the program’s website to download and install the program.
In essence it is the same web interface from the TTCS OSSWIN project (which makes the collection of Free and Open Source Software for Windows as a 4GB download, along with a web based interface) – the key difference being that no installers are shown, just the link to the program’s website.
The web-based interface for TTCS OSSWIN online was redesigned to take advantage of modern web standards (HTML5, CSS3) and should be usable on Windows 10 touchscreen tablets and on mobile / tablet devices such as iPhone, iPad and Android. So you can browse the TTCS OSSWIN collection on any device.
