Must Have Tools – Part 2

Hi Friends,

In this section, we will continue from the last section where in I have discussed some of the tools which you should be knowing to make your life easy going while doing development. Here, I have presented few more links to the useful tools.

tools

1. Light Bootstrap Dashboard

Light Bootstrap Dashboard is an admin dashboard template designed to be beautiful and simple. It is built on top of Bootstrap 3 and it is fully responsive. It comes with a big collections of elements that will offer you multiple possibilities to create the app that best fits your needs. It can be used to create admin panels, project management systems, web applications backend, CMS or CRM. You can also find the code base here https://github.com/timcreative/light-bootstrap-dashboard.

2. Tag-it

A jQuery UI plugin to handle multi-tag fields as well as tag suggestions/autocomplete.If you’re using a custom jQuery UI build, it must contain the Core, Widget, Position, and Autocomplete components. The Effects Core with “Blind” and “Highlight” Effect components are optional, but used if available. The plugin requires either a jQuery UI theme or a Tag-it theme to be present, as well as its own included base CSS file.

3. Shouldly

Shouldly is an assertion framework which focuses on giving great error messages when the assertion fails while being simple and terse. This is must have tool for every .NET developer for testing their code in much more precise and descriptive way.

4. Frontend-Handbook

This is a guide that anyone could use to learn about the practice of front-end development. It broadly outlines and discusses the practice of front-end engineering: how to learn it and what tools are used when practicing it. It is specifically written with the intention of being a professional resource for potential and currently practicing front-end developers to equip themselves with learning materials and development tools. Secondarily, it can be used by managers, CTOs, instructors, and head hunters to gain insights into the practice of front-end development.

5. Cerberus

Coding regular emails is hard enough by itself. Making them responsive shouldn’t add to the headache. A few simple, but solid patterns are all that’s needed to optimize emails for small screens. It’s just a few responsive email patterns that go a long way. The code blocks are compartmentalized so that they may be used, combined, and nested to build an email.

6. MailKit

The main goal of this project is to provide the .NET world with robust, fully featured and RFC-compliant SMTP, POP3, and IMAP client implementations. All of the other .NET IMAP client implementations that I could find suffer from major architectural problems such as ignoring unexpected untagged responses, assuming that literal string tokens will never be used for anything other than message bodies (when in fact they could be used for pretty much any string token in a response), assuming that the way to find the end of a message body in a FETCH response is by scanning for ") UID", and not properly handling mailbox names with international characters to simply name a few.

7. AutoMapper

A convention-based object-object mapper. 100% organic and gluten-free. Takes out all of the fuss of mapping one object to another. AutoMapper is a simple little library built to solve a deceptively complex problem – getting rid of code that mapped one object to another. This type of code is rather dreary and boring to write, so why not invent a tool to do it for us?

8. WebAPIThrottle

ASP.NET Web API Throttling handler, OWIN middleware and filter are designed to control the rate of requests that clients can make to a Web API based on IP address, client API key and request route. WebApiThrottle package is available on NuGet at nuget.org/packages/WebApiThrottle.

9. Material-Design

Material Design Lite lets you add a Material Design look and feel to your websites. It doesn’t rely on any JavaScript frameworks and aims to optimize for cross-device use, gracefully degrade in older browsers, and offer an experience that is immediately accessible. Get started now.

10. Awesomeplete

Ultra lightweight, customizable, simple autocomplete widget with zero dependencies, built with modern standards for modern browsers.

I hope you would have liked this exhaustive list of Tools to help you with your development. In the next section, We’ll see some more on the same. Till then stay tuned and Happy Coding.
