The Alberta .NET User Group is starting a new season and this one is kicking off with a former collegue of mine, Ron Matyjanka, presenting one of my talks, Tools of the Trade – Must-Have .NET Utilities.

Scott Hanselman has done it again. Scott’s List of Ultimate Visual Studio.NET AddIns is a list of great tools, mostly free, that integrate directly with Visual Studio .NET. Some are really useful (most of the list), some are fun (devMetrics), and some are just plain diabolical (devMetrics). Have you checked your cyclomatic complexity today?
