Found a number of tools that I hadn't heard of before. Love the effort.

I love it when a website wants me to tweet-like-+1 them with an annoying popup even before I got the chance to check out their content.

Real eye opener for me. Been coding for 30 years and have not heard of hardly any of these things. I'm sure this is focussed mainly on web/social/mobile developers but I would have thought there's more overlap with traditional app development and embedded development, which is what I'm doing. My favorite tools: - Keil IDE + Eclipse, Visual Studio - Coverity for static analysis - git and SVN on our own servers - Jenkins for CI - homegrown unit testing framework - RallyDev for tracking What I'm seeing on the list from the article is a lot of online tools for faster collaboration. That's really where I can see traditional development models could learn from the web crowd.

  Today with close to 0 money and 0 time spent you can be setup with a professional grade development environment for a one man/few men shop with continuous integration, test/prod servers, bug tracking, ... Parallel to that there is a similar list of utilities that handle the management part of the business. (time management, meeting, marketing, billing, ...) All of those give you opportunities to scale your business before you need to "enterprisify". Quite an exiting time for experimenting businesses on the cheap. One worry though, there is not much "open source" or more precisely a lot of lock in. Nothing new of course for cloud based SaS, but still something ...

Can anybody shed light on how Modulus is different from Heroku? Just curious because I saw them at the Brandery in Cincinnati and it was explained to me as a "Heroku for Node," even though it is my understanding that Heroku supports Node.

No BitBucket for Source Control. No Cloud9 for web-based IDE. No BugZilla for bug tracking. No XNA for Game development. This is a weird list.

Am I the only one concerned about everyones' preoccupation with tools?

Interesting that they didn't include IDEs
