It’s official!!!! ReSharper 4.0 has just been released.
This is by far one of the best (and coolest) tools available for Visual Studio. If you have never heard of, or had a chance to experience, ReSharper then you owe it to yourself to click the link below and check it out. This tool has made me a better developer both in quality and performance. I’m definitely a student of TDD, refactoring, patterns, etc. ReSharper makes using these practices so incredibly easy it just becomes a part of your work.
ReSharper is one of those tools that when you work on someone else’s machine you feel like you’re in the stone age. Or if you see a presentation and the presenter doesn’t have ReSharper you constantly think "Come on man! I could have coded that in half the time!"
There’s no way to do it justice here. Just check it out.
I’ve been using JetBrains software since IntelliJ back when I was a Java programmer. Every Java dev has their favorite IDE and IntelliJ was mine. I was sold the instant I ran it. When I moved over to .Net, honestly, one of the biggest sore points was loosing IntelliJ. Now with VS 2008 and ReSharper I feel at home again.
Boy, this really sounded like a commercial, huh? sorry about that. I’ll try and keep it to a minimum next time. But if you’re a ReSharper user already I’m sure you understand. 🙂
