…a ReSharper Jedi, that is. I am making no claims about my own ReSharper Jedi abilities. JP<\/a> and Oren<\/a> are known ReSharper Jedi Masters. I feel more like Luke Skywalker when he first landed on Dagobah in comparison. Back to the point of this post…<\/p>\n

Many developers don’t see the value of JetBrains’ ReSharper<\/a> until they’ve seen it in action. So I’m putting together this screencast series to show off my favourite ReSharper features. My goal is to keep each screencast to 5 to 10 minutes and focus on a related set of capabilities. In the first episode, I look at ReSharper’s Code Browsing – CTRL-N, CTRL-B, CTRL-ALT-B, ALT-F7, and related.<\/p>\n

Streaming: Becoming a Jedi – Part 1: Code Browsing<\/a> (requires Silverlight 1.0 or higher)*<\/p>\n

Download: Becoming a Jedi – Part 1: Code Browsing<\/a> (via Live SkyDrive)<\/p>\n

Before someone makes a snarky comment about my coding speed, I’m intentionally taking the time to explain the features. That and I’m not as adept as some<\/a> at coding and talking at the same time. Hopefully I’ll improve with practice as this screencast series progresses. Any constructive feedback on the content or presentation style is appreciated. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

* I am encoding the series using Silverlight 1.0 for two reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In my tests with Camtasia, the Silverlight version scaled better than the Flash version. Text in Visual Studio remained clearer as the video was resized. The original recording is at 1024×768, but is still legible when scaled to 640×480 or smaller.\n
  2. I can host the content on Silverlight Streaming<\/a> for free. When you sign up for an account, you get 10 GB of storage and 5 TB of bandwidth per month. The videos are distributed by Microsoft’s content delivery network and streamed from a server close to the viewer. As an author you simply upload your videos to Silverlight Streaming and Microsoft does the rest. I also don’t run the risk of blowing the bandwidth allotment at my hosting provider and incurring charges for bandwidth overages.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
