Comment on Scrum Tools by Banana Scrum Tool

Banana Scrum Tool — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:14:00 +0000

Hi! Thanks for including our Scrum tool – the Banana Scrum – in your list. I wonder if you checked it out after March 2009 – in fact in April 2010 we’ve released a major update bringing a whole new UI and a selection of additional features. It is now also available for installation on your own servers to be run inside corporate firewalls. Would be glad to learn what you think of it now.

Comment on Database Schema Version Control Tool by Maxim Antonov

Maxim Antonov — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 21:35:30 +0000

Hi there!
Some months ago I searched tool for versioning MySQL schema. I found many useful tools, like Doctrine migration, RoR migration, some tools writen in Java and Python.

But no one of them was satisfied my requirements.

My requirements:

1. No requirements , exclude PHP and MySQL
2. No schema configuration files, like schema.yml in Doctrine
3. Able to read current schema from connection and create new migration script, than represent identical schema in other installations of application.

I started to write my migration tool, and today I have beta version.

Please, try it, if you have an interest in this topic.
Please send me future requests and bugreports.

Scrum Tool is a simple desktop app to support the traditional white board based sprints. It is very lightweight but you can drag and drop stories to sort them in backlog by importance.
You can print story cards very easily.
A unique and extremely useful feature in Scrum Tool is tagging. You can find stories in a long backlog by tags easily.
Current version is freely available for Windows and Linux.

Comment on ReSharper vs CodeRush + Refactor Pro by BhaaL

BhaaL — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:55:43 +0000

Hi, I just came across this post and feel like I have to “protect” CodeRush (or better: CodeRushX in particular which I use) a bit there:

“Create a new WinForms project in Visual Studio. Make sure it compiles. Press F7 to open the code window of the main screen. Highlight the namespace “WindowsApplication1″ and press [Ctrl+`] and select “Rename”. Change the name to “MyCompany.CoolApp”. Try to compile again. It will not compile.”
This calls the default refactoring from Visual Studio (Right-click, Refactor > Rename…) – and yes, this one is broken as soon as you try to include multiple levels of Namespaces with your refactoring.
The same applies to “Extract Interface” which only calls the VS built-in refactoring (which also allows for public members to be selected).

From practise (and a few colleagues) I know that R# is a powerful tool, but IMO it is a bit too overloaded. Having a hotkey for each refactoring can be neat, but this can also be overcomplicating things. CRX has a single hotkey that shows only applicable refactorings to the current content.
My colleagues also rant that it slows down their VS, which might be partly true, but that might aswell be a result of their general resource-wasting way of using their PCs.
My Tool of choice is still CodeRushX.
