At the place I am working we are moving to a more agile approach to project management. For tool support for project management I used MS Project and Target Process in the past.

Exact duplicate of this thread I have some quite long variable / field names in my code and I'm finding the default behaviour for CTRL+SHIFT+Right-Arrow and CTRL+SHIFT+Left-Arrow to be less productive than if it were to adhere to camel casing.

In the past I've used "Microsoft Image Composer" - I like its user interface because it's object based and easy to use. Unfortunately it was discontinued and the old version I am using has some problems with png files. I've tried to find a good replacem...
I spent a lot of time recently reading about debugging. One of the aspects that was continually referenced was not just a bug-tracking system, but a bug-solving process. I read about people writing down takes on the problem(that did or didn't work), tests that would determine if a given take on the fix would work or not, etc. So I am th...
Since I'm new to the world of professional web/HTML and ASP design, I'm curious of what others in the field use when building pages from nothing. I'm not one to use MS Word to design my page or form, and then just stick it on the net. My background in UI design is really in Win32, then MFC, WTL, and now some Winforms... But, I'm findi...
I've taken on a new project that's already been in development for some time. The development team and project managers have a good issue tracking system in place and are generally good people to work with but I'm finding it hard to follow legacy issues and understand exactly what people are talking about.

Is there any cross-platform node-based designer software for free? Something like Graphviz meets FreeMind. FreeMind would be otherwise great if there was no that central point. I don't want software where you position the nodes in pixel-perfect places. I want to extend existing nodes like in FreeMind. Graphviz in other hand explodes at ...

Other than submit individual web pages for verification on the W3C site, are there any standalone tools that will do this job. Ideally this would be a visual studio plugin that could catch errors at design time but one that would just take a wep application url running locally would be good. Open source suggestions would be preferable...
I don't intend this to be subjective, but if the answers can be seasoned a little with advice or direction I would appreciate it :) Over the past couple years my job has been to develop and now maintain/extend a fairly large application. The application was among the first .NET projects ran by our department and for nearly the whole de...
