TestDriven.NET 3.0 Released
I haven’t posted anything to my blog in a long time, but I wanted to point out that a product I truly love and use often has been updated. Jamie Cansdale has released TestDriven.NET 3.0, still one of my all-time favorite Visual Studio add-ons for low-friction unit testing. Now it works with Visual Studio 2010, MSTest and tons of new features and refinements.

Comparing XML Files with Beyond Compare 3...Brilliant
I bought a new laptop and was loading it with the tools I use every day. When it came to installing one of my favorites, Beyond Compare 2, I thought I'd check the Scooter web site to see if I had the latest version. I was happy to see they now had a version 3 with plenty of new features. I immediately reached for my credit card to buy a license. Folks, this is honestly one of the tools I don't even hesitate paying for...it's that good, and that invaluable. I don't work for them, I'm just a very happy customer.

I just received a newsletter from Red Gate, and nestled in the headlines was this interesting tidbit. If you haven't heard of .NET Reflector, it's one of my favorites, and I encourage you to check this invaluable tool out. It's what you reach for when you have to know what's going on inside that assembly but don't have the source.

Click on links using the scroll wheel, and the browser will open that page in a new tab in the background without taking focus away from the current page.
