Developer tools
Here are some of my favorite applications, utilities, and services. I prefer to use open source freeware so I can install them on all my PCs, but there are also a few very special ones that are worth paying for.
[edit] Free
- GhostDoc is a free add-in for Visual Studio that automatically generates XML documentation comments for C#, either by using existing documentation inherited from base classes, or by deducing comments from name and type of methods, properties, parameters, etc.
- WOS Portable is a free package that runs a webserver based on Apache, MySQL and PHP from an USB Stick or any other writable media (harddrive, flash cards etc.) *without installation* under Windows. You can add preconfigured application bundles (MediaWiki, Wordpress, PHPMyAdmin, Joomla!, Mambo, Moodle, OS Commerce, TYPO3, Drupal ...)
- This is LAMP without Linux. I use it for private wikis and my private developer diary/blog.
