Development Tools! Everyone!!

Hi all,

Just a quick enquiry to all gurus out there. And the general developer
community out there..

At the moment my little toolkit for developing web applications consists of
:
1) Dreamweaver
2) Visual Studio 2003
3) SQL Server 2000
4) MySql

Unfortunately i don't get a lot of exposure to other developers through my
work, so collaberative learning and sharing is minimal.

Just wondering what everyone elses tool kits look like.

Including tools to enhance:
1) Productivity
2) Quality
3) Version Control\
4) Speed of development
5) Efficiency
6) Professionalism
7) Testing
8) Reliability
9) Scalability ect..

As of late i have come accross Red Gates SQL Compare & Data Compare which is
useful.
I have also heard faint wispers of tools like Code Smith & Subversion???

What is my tool kit missing, for serious development?

Are there any developer websites that should be in my library???

Cheers,
Adam

resharper or CodeRush for visual studio 2003/5

Almost all tools by Red-Gate (red-gate.com) especially if you need a
profiler or better SQL tools

SourceGear for version control and bug tracking

reflector and snipet compiler for saving yourself headaches and asking fewer
questions here ;)

DWS
My Tools
Notepad, gifworks, paint, photomorph, Visual Studio 2005 Standard, Visual
Studio 2003 Professional, Visual Studio 6.0 Professional scripting edition
Interdev javascript editor, SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005, SQL Server
Management Studio, perfmon, sysmon, IIS Manager, xmlspy

I use snippets for comments and have a class that contains shared methods,
functions, etc. Almost everything I find usefull in a snippet goes into this
class. Saw first hand the maintenence nightmares copying code did to large
COBOL environments.

I'm getting ready to start a fairly large application to be hosted on SQL-Server. In the past I have used Access 2002 (as a front end, wasn't happy with the number of bugs I ran into), PowerBuilder 6.5, Oracle Forms 7 years ago (also no happy with the number of bugs). I was curious what the state of the art was these days and what current recommendations were for 4GL type of development tools. Thanks, Doug Broadwell

Can anyone suggest any open-source XML Schema development tools? Ideally something like (Emacs psgml-mode/nxml-mode) would be ideal. This is for W3C XML Schema development rather than developing XML documents against an existing schema. I have used Oxygen XML which is very good but a commercial product and I also know XML Spy has the capability. My preferred O/S is Linux but it could be something that runs on

But I am totally unable to get some tangible information either at MS site or elsewhere on net. Can somebody who has worked in MS TV IDEs throw some pointers?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
