Interesting programs installed
Basically a list of tools I've got installed that makes my development life (as a .NET dev) better/easier
Some free, and some not so (denoated with a $ sign)
* cmder - http://bliker.github.io/cmder/
- Custom command prompt wrapper
* linqpad - http://www.linqpad.net/
- Great for testing code snippets
* SQL Sentry Plan Explorer (free version) - http://www.sqlsentry.com/products/plan-explorer/sql-server-query-view
- Mostly because the "Actual Plan" view in SSMS feels a bit clunky.
* p4merge - http://www.perforce.com/product/components/perforce-visual-merge-and-diff-tools
- Though, if I was going to buy one, it would be semantic merge ($) - semanticmerge.com
* SQL Prompt ($) - http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-prompt/
- Because SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) has a limited set of intellisense. Also sql snippets!
- One of my custom snippets I use almost daily is to list all columns of a table:
- SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH FROM information_schema.columns WHERE TABLE_NAME = '$CURSOR$' ORDER BY COLUMN_NAME ASC
* SQL Hunting Dog - http://sql-hunting-dog.com/
- Allows you to quickly search for and goto any SQL object (tables, stored procs, functions, views, etc...)
* Atom Editor - https://atom.io/
- My packages that I've got installed - https://gist.github.com/willl/6dc39461aa3f4e44dd3a
* Oui Gui Chocolatey - http://chocolatey.org/packages/OuiGuiChocolatey
- UI for chocolatey
