A cross-section of useful, no-cost software development tools offered by vendors and the developer community...This article presents a cross-section of some of the most popular and useful free software development tools available. The vast majority of the tools listed in the table are geared toward .NET development, but there are a few others thrown in for those who are doing cross-platform development.
50 tools are listed in nine categories that represent a cross-section of the types of tools most widely available: Code-generation/editing/templates
Content management systems (CMSs)
Controls/Components
Data access and Object-Relational Mapping (ORM)
Documentation & Project Management
Performance Analysis/Management
Software Configuration Management/Version Control
Testing and Debugging
Visual Studio add-ins
There's also a "miscellaneous" category listing tools that don't quite fit in any of the other categories. Some of the tools listed were suggested by DevProConnections authors (more about our authors' favorite tools in the next section). Others came from the DevProConnections "files": press releases and briefings with tool providers. Tools were selected with an eye toward including those that .NET developers would find most useful. In other words, even though a tool is "free," it still must provide value and practical benefit to developers. Read more: Greg's Cool [Insert Clever Name] of the Day
