Interesting. One thing that caught my eye was "someone who knows most of the tools from Scott Hanselman's power tools list." I had never heard of Scott Hanselman, nor his power tools list and had to look it up. Frankly, it looks useless to me as a programmer and looks more like a list of desktop gadgets, and watered down versions of tools you get for free with most Linux distributions. He also doesn't mention Linux (or OSX), nor Emacs nor vim. The great majority of the tools are Windows specific or Windows only (I caught one or two that weren't).
- gosub 14y agoKnowing most of the power tools mentioned in this book http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596003302.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596003302.do would do a better job as a discriminating factor, in my opinion.
- npsimons 14y agoThat's one of my favorite books. I know it isn't, but I've often imagined that the tool on the front is a hole hawg ;)
- robbles 14y agoAnother part of that item was confusing to me as well - "ORM tools". I'm assuming this isn't referring to an ORM library or framework, since this section seems to be about editors, IDEs, and other desktop software. What are "ORM tools"?
