Short Order Code » visual studio http://shortordercode.com The road from "Hello World" to actually useful Tue, 22 Dec 2009 08:20:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 en hourly 1 Short Order Code is a software development podcast discussing tips, techniques, tools and open-source projects that can help front-line developers make the most of the code they write. Each episode will feature a brief look at a specific technology or technique and discuss how it can help to make your code better. Occasional video screencasts will appear in the feed to help illustrate some of the points.

This week I’m talking about tools that are a bit more ancillary to the development process, things that help you with the tasks associated with the other parts of software development that take place (for the most part) outside your IDE.

I’m going to try to keep the shows coming as regularly as possible for the next little while so keep your eyes open for the next episode.

Thanks for Listening!

After several long weeks, and a well deserved vacation Short Order Code is back with the second part of our look at tools to help improve your programming productivity. This week I'm talking about tools that are a bit more ancillary to the development process, things that help you with the tasks associated with the other parts of software development that take place (for the most part) outside your IDE. * Unit testing tools - nUnit (http://nunit.org/), jUnit (http://junit.org/), mbUnit (http://mbunit.com/) * In-IDE Version Control - AnkhSVN (http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/) * Browser-based Debugging - Firebug (http://getfirebug.com/) * Disassemble DLLs - Reflector (http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/), addins (http://www.codeplex.com/reflectoraddins) * Paste Code Wisely - SmartPaster (http://weblogs.asp.net/alex_papadimoulis/archive/2004/05/25/Smart-Paster-1.1-Add-In---StringBuilder-and-Better-C_2300_-Handling.aspx) * Paint and Pictures - Paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net/) I'm going to try to keep the shows coming as regularly as possible for the next little while so keep your eyes open for the next episode.

Keith Murray clean Short Order Code #003 :: Tooling For Success – part 1 http://shortordercode.com/short-order-code-003-tooling-for-success-part-1/ http://shortordercode.com/short-order-code-003-tooling-for-success-part-1/#comments Fri, 11 Sep 2009 08:43:58 +0000 Keith http://shortordercode.com/?p=35 This is part 1 of a two part series on free plugins and addins for Visual Studio.  Despite the fact that the Visual Studio IDE is one of the most feature rich out-of-the-box IDEs available there’s never any shortage of what developers wish they could do with their tools.  Being developers, we can take care of that problem via the Visual Studio addins framework.

In this episode I’ll provide a brief overview of a few tools.  This week’s addins include:

In part two I’ll talk about a few more plugins that you can use to enhance your Visual Studio experience.

Just a heads up, the next couple of shows are likely to be delayed since I’m on vacation.  If I get a chance to produce episode 4 before I leave I’ll try to make sure someone puts it up around the right day.  Otherwise the next show will be up as soon as possible after we return home.

Thanks for listening!
