Developer Tools

Are You Up-to-Date on 
Programming Best 
Practices? 

We know what developer tools matter and what is going to be obsolete. Our architects are leaders in their fields and know what it takes to create a successful product that will stand the test of time. 

Frameworks change. Languages evolve. Even the most skilled developers need to work at staying on the cutting edge or risk falling behind.  

Not sure where to start?

Here are a few of the tools created and used by our IntelliTeam daily. We hope they help simplify your projects. If you find the tools helpful, please share them.

Also, let us know what you’d like to learn about, or contact us with suggestions for future meetup topics. We’re always looking for the next great idea.

Coalesce

Our rapid-development code generation framework reduces the time needed to build applications. It automates laborious tasks such as API plumbing, security, callback, data binding, view models, controls, enumeration mapping, saving, and serialization – and it’s free! The tool is open-ended, so you can build on top of it or around it to meet your needs.

What Our Readers Say

Hey! I cannot express to you how many websites and tutorials I’ve been to over the past few days, which just did not work time and time again. This one, whilst kind of seeming scary to an amateur, did work straight away! Thanks a lot :D

Coding Conventions

Our team codes differently, but we follow a set of coding guidelines. Having a straightforward convention with tooling support significantly improves your code base’s readability. Check out why we follow these guidelines, and if you’re looking for a good place to start your own set of conventions, check out our team’s guidelines on GitHub.

What Our Readers Say

Having been a .NET developer for almost 20 years, I still learned things from this book. It covers things well and provides good examples. I keep it handy for reference and I would recommend this book to my fellow developers.
