November 29, 2005Refactoring .NET CodeToday I fell in love with a new dev tool. I'm a strong believer in developer's time ROI, and Joel's position that devs need to have the best tools money can buy. I also run a small company, and can't always easily make decisions about ROI for tools. So many exist, but so few can show immediate ROI. Today a friend of mine pointed me to Refactor! from DevExpress. OMG. Just watch this 3 minute overview. Enough said. I'm not a VB guy, so I can't use the free version DevExpress has out there in partnership with Microsoft. But they have Refactor! Pro which supports C#. I told myself I wouldn't buy any more dev tools until our next product got released. I think I might have to rethink that decision. Damn you Michael! Check it out for yourself. If you do any sort of code refactoring (and you should be if you are working in code), you owe it to yourself to invest in three minutes to learn how this tool can save you time.

I'll consider myself dammned ;-) Posted by: Michael at November 29, 2005 12:31 PMThat is a pretty freakin' cool tool. Posted by: Arcterex at November 29, 2005 01:26 PMThat is way cool. DevExpress has some rather cool tools especially since they acquired Eagle Software and Marc Miller along with it. I used to use his CodeRush (Code At The Speed Of Thought) plugin for Delphi when that was my toolkit of choice. I expect to shell out for that again as I get more comfortable in VS2005. Posted by: tang^ at November 29, 2005 08:06 PMIt is a dream tool, thank you for the pointer! I wish it existed for C++... Posted by: Ilfak Guilfanov at November 30, 2005 03:52 AMDana, thanks for the kind words. Just a few pointers: - There are several more videos about Refactor!, combined with interviews with Mark Miller, made by Carl Franklin. I don't know if there's an official overview page of them anywhere, but I've collected a list of them in an old post on my private blog: http://www.sturmnet.org/blog/archives/2005/08/05/refactor1015/ - We have a number of training videos for CodeRush online, which are certainly worth a look if you like looking at videos of cool functionality :-) Here: http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/CodeRush/Training.xml I'm not saying anything about Ilfak's comment, no I'm not...
