Write Black and Blue Get Green Free

July 19th, 2006 Comments

GhostDoc is a free Visual Studio add-in that automatically generates XML comments by intelligently deducing comments from member name and type or by using existing documentation written by someone else in a base class or an interface.

This tool is purely intelligent and simply amazing. With tools such as this there simply is no excuse for developers whose code looks all black and blue to not add some green for free!

Which UML Tool Do You Use?

July 17th, 2006 Comments

While I have used several modelling tools in the past, since I started using Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect (EA), I have not looked back. This is a great tool (for the most part) with a reasonable price tag. What I do wish this tool could do better is provide CodeSmith type support for code generation. EA does have reverse and forward code engineering support, of course, but forward engineering is not exactly very intuitive. It does however provide a COM API that one can tap into in order to extend the tool in more suitable ways.
