Guy Baretter's got a hit with his most recent blog post
Ten Must-Have Tools Every Developer Should Download Now. i've been an avid user of most of these tools for quite some time now, but it never hurts to continue their proliferation. hopefully in time Codebrarian will make a list like this. today i'll be posting some more information about writing plugins for Codebrarian and i'll make a post or two to inform everyone.
take a moment of silence to honor one of our most important pioneers,
who has passed on.
Perhaps the greatest new feature of ASP.NET I've been wanting is the enhanced caching, especially the aspect of being able to place dependencies on SQL Server tables. Well, 15Seconds has an awesome article on this new feature. I'd highly encourage it's consumption. Now I really can't wait to start messing around with this stuff!
So there's this weird standard my new client has implemented. They love to see things like...
//foreach
//for
//if
//else
//Function_Name
//try
//catch
Yeah, it may seem a little anal. Sure. So let's write a macro to do this sort of thing automatically! I've got a regex which goes through the code and locates all of the hanging } symbols. It looks like the following fragment, and we use it pretty extensivly right before code review to make sure our code's all good.
\}$
Thing is, how would one augment that regex or implement a macro to do this sort of thing? Any suggestions? Can't seem to find anything out there to help with this little tidbit!
My buddy Adam over at
squishy came up with this colorizer. I have to say it's the best one I've seen yet!
