Meet Me On CFMeetup - Digging Into The Developer Toolbox
Did you miss my CFUnited presentation because you couldn’t step into the room because it was jam packed?
I’ll be giving my “Digging Into The Developer Toolbox” presentation on the CFMeetup!
Every developer has their basic toolset - a robust IDE, source control and a good bug tracker. But what else is in your toolbox?
In this presentation I’ll explore some additional tools that can increase your productivity and allow you to concentrate on developing applications.
Some of the tools we will explore include:
- Autohotkey - save time and type less! Autohotkey can do simple text replacements and well as complex GUIs!
- Keyboard Launchers - clean up that messy desktop and stop hunting for icons!
- Virtual desktops - Now that your desktop is clean - organize your applications into task focused areas.
- Cron - replace the unreliable Windows Scheduled task with a simple to use task scheduler.
- Clipboard managers - a clipboard manager can keep a long running history of what you type so you don’t have to.
and more…
All of these are free, open-source and for the most part have similar equivalents available on all three platforms - Windows, Mac and Linux.
In this presentation we will focus on Windows.
