As far as I know, many PHP frameworks use syntactic sugar to provide illusion of real functions. Some provide scaffolding/skeleton generation, which is limited. Syntactic sugar is slow and IDE/editors do not provide intellisense for Syntactic sugar functions/methods and member data. I'm wondering if there any tool/framework to generate P...

I'm a student and i want make a build tool as a side project for myself because none of the current build tools seem to attract me.

There's maven, but i really don't w...
I'm looking for an easy-to-use, free source code comparison app for Windows, which will highlight differences side-by-side between two pieces of source code. Some apps get close to what I want, but are too restrictive by requiring you load in entire files and compare them in their entirety. Sometimes I just want to compare a section of...

I have noticed that in some cases a text editor with extended text processing capabilities (I use Notepad++) gives me a better productivity than an IDE (I use the Eclipse and the Netbeans).

I am a Delphi Transplant to .Net. I really like it, but I am missing one thing that I am wondering if there is an addin for. In Delphi there is an addin (called GExperts) that allows you to make your files show in rows at the top of your code window (rather than just one row that only shows as much as can fit). Is there something like...

I've been trying run Insure++ with some scientific code and it reports many errors, although to be fair it officially does not support K&R C and I don't know what having a lot of K&R functions has done to its evaluation process.

I just posted this as part of a reply to a question about the "best" bug-tracking software... Well, a tool on its own is just a tool. And while all speak of a toolchain, most just mean a loose collection of tools. Why not look for a problem tracker that "plays well with other children"? That is to say, interfaces well with your IDE, y...
