One of the few tools a .NET developer absolutely shouldn’t live without is ReSharper (R#), a Visual Studio add-in created by the wonderful people at JetBrains. It surprises me how many people I meet or talk to who either aren’t familiar with it, or haven’t taken the time to try it out. Well for all those people needing a little motivation, tonight I stumbled upon an absolute goldmine in the form of an extensive tutorial that showcases the power of ReSharper and why it truly is so beneficial. Joe White created 31 individual tutorials for individual features that collectively teach the majority of its functionality in this post. Anyone not currently using ReSharper owes it to themselves to spend the 30 minutes (unless you’re a speed reader) it takes to read it. I wish I would have known about this post when it was first made (January of this year), it would have helped me out a lot
A 30-day trial of ReSharper can be downloaded here.
If you’re running Visual Studio 2008 you can download a version of ReSharper compatible with it here.
