"Its our pleasure to share best resources/tools for developers and designe for every technologies as HTML5, jQuery, Javascript, PHP, etc. Every programming technologies/techniques provides the number of tools that helps developers and designers a lot in. Today we are going to presents the best development tools for .Net developers. These are the development tools that helps developers for their next project. Most of them are freeware and open source tools."

"Database development is many aspects behind in comparison to regular application development. If you look how database development is integrated with regular application development or development processes it becomes even more obvious that there is room for improvement in this area. When asked, you will find that many database developers are spending their valuable time writing, maintaining, and testing database deployment scripts. The practices may vary, some write them by hand, some use schema comparison tools to generate the script and modify that, and some went all the way to create their own tools to generate these kinds of deployment scripts."

"DBAs and developers alike find it hard to effectively develop, deploy and manage a data-tier application throughout its lifecycle. SQL Server developers today want to create a data-tier application they can test, declaratively deploy across multiple instances while the system deals with version upgrades. SQL Server DBAs on the other hand want to know deployment requirements a priori and they too want the system to perform some of the mechanical upgrade operations instead of managing data-tier applications via a bunch of scripts. In this video we will dive into Microsoft's investments in the SQL Server data-tier application space and demonstrate the concepts and tools that simplify development and deployment of data-tier applications using Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server Management Studio in SQL Server 2008 R2."

"Every couple of weeks on one of the forums someone will ask a question about how to restore a backup from SQL 2008 to SQL 2005. The answer to the question is always, you can't restore a backup to a lower version of SQL Server. If you need to migrate backwards it is an entirely manual process. I learned this unfortunate truth a few years ago after upgrading a development server to SQL Server 2005 ahead of upgrading the production server for testing by the developers of our eCommerce application. At the time there was a new database for another web project in development that didn't exist in production, which was on SQL 2000 still, and when I had to move it to QA, also on SQL 2000 still, what was originally planned as a backup/restore turned into a "What do I do now?" moment."

"The basic texts for developing SQL code tend to leave unsaid the basic techniques for building routines such as stored procedures in TSQL. Phil is well-known for his more lengthy and complex stored procedures, so we asked him to explain in more detail how he goes about developing things like that without the comfort of Visual Studio "

.NET software growth mainly contains features to make, develop and set up programs as well as other components.

"The 32-bit and 64-bit development story on Windows seemingly never stops causing problems for developers. It's been a decade since 64-bit processors have started popping up in the Windows consumer environment, but we just can't get it right. If you forget some of the gory details, here are a couple of reminders:"

"Everyone's up in arms to embrace distributed version control as the new must-have tool for the developer in the know. Though many people have not yet migrated from Subversion, those that have almost invariably extoll the virtues of their particular choice. But though all of the major DVCS's have features that set them above the previous generation of centralized systems, none stands head-and-shoulders above the others as Subversion does among the last generation: each of them was designed for a specific purpose, and each of them will serve those with different habits, workflows and development styles differently. Having used both git and Mercurial for the better part of a year, I've had the opportunity to compare the two. It saddened me to see a Twitter-based debate flamewar erupt over which is better, so I thought I'd do my best to try and ease the tension - with analogies!"

"NuGet (recently renamed from NuPack) is a free open source developer focused package manager intent on simplifying the process of incorporating third party libraries into a .NET application during development. "

" This post is a summary of and collection of links to information about the quality of workspace provided to software developers. Perhaps it can be useful to other software developers in a position to influence managers or may someday be in a position to make decisions about workspace design themselves."

"I've compiled a small list (or rant) of some very basic and fundamental rules that all webmasters must learn and respect when developing a website that needs to make actual money. This list can also be used by companies looking to hire a web development firm or to evaluate an already deployed website project."

"The Crimson Consulting Group has just published a white paper worth reading: Comparing the Business Value of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 and Oracle Database 11g, Perceptions vs. reality in the RDBMS marketplace (April, 2011). The traditional user-friendliness of a mid-tier product has matured in terms of scalability. Today, you will find SQL Server 2008R2 installations running on 256 core machines -- scalability is no longer an issue. Unfortunately, the traditional scalability product has not grown significantly friendlier to developers and users; this leaves SQL Server 2008R2 the clear value winner for both lowest development expense and total cost of ownership for operations."

"JustMock Free Edition is a developer productivity tool designed to make it easy to create mock objects. JustMock Free Edition cuts your development time and helps you create better unit tests without requiring you to change your code.

"WAI-ARIA, the Accessible Rich Internet Applications Suite, defines a way to make Web content and Web applications more accessible to people with disabilities. It especially helps with dynamic content and advanced user interface controls developed with Ajax, HTML, JavaScript, and related technologies. Currently certain functionality used in Web sites is not available to some users with disabilities, especially people who rely on screen readers and people who cannot use a mouse. WAI-ARIA addresses these accessibility challenges, for example, by defining new ways for functionality to be provided to assistive technology. With WAI-ARIA, developers can make advanced Web applications accessible and usable to people with disabilities."

The Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern separates an application into three main components: the model, the view, and the controller. The ASP.NET MVC framework provides an alternative to the ASP.NET Web Forms pattern for creating MVC-based Web applications.

In the course of IIS7 development, the team and I have answered an infinity of questions about IIS7 on any possible topic imaginable.Ironically, neither I nor anyone else I know on the team has ever answered the most basic question - what is the minimum set of steps necessary to get a website running with IIS7? This post answers this exact question, and explains the key IIS7 concepts of sites, applications, and virtual directories (vdirs), which must be created before your IIS7 server can serve a single request.

"MiniProfiler is a tool created and used by the StackExchange group of websites and is used for profiling your .NET and Ruby applications.
