Several Tools That Could Improve Your Workspace

Here are several tools that I used usually, and they are tools that could improve your work efficient greatly.

TotalCommand, a convenient tool to help explore, search folders and files. Could open multiple folders at the same time. Search by file names or keyword in the file content become much quicker than the windows native explorer.

 

Beyond Compare, a tool to do the compare between two text files. It is the standard merge tool in our source control system configuration.

 

Notepad++, a more convenient tool than the Notepad.

 

TortoseHg, a distributed version control tool. This tool allow us to build local repository, so I could commit several version from local workspace. This tool make me more easily to choose which version should I take.

 

StarUML, using a UML-tool to make record when you are reading code will make the relationship among all those objects become more cleanly. The images always express better than the text.
