You Don't Need Tools(dotcodedump.com)

High quality software can be created without, advanced tools, automation, and even design patterns. Professionals in many fields besides software development are looking for latest tools, and trends to stay ahead of the competition. Allocating, learning, and implementing new tools can soon become a dangerous cycle, where an emphasis is placed on specific technologies and trends, rather than the product being created. One of the many side effects of using an ever changing tool set is adding entropy and complexity to a development ecosystem. read more...

The Importance of the Contact Us Page(dotcodedump.com)

Free Visual Studio File Explorer Add-in(mindscape.co.nz)

It is shell-enabled so extensions like TortoiseSVN work too. read more...
