Lost In Tangent

The purpose of this page is to archive/collaborate all tools of value for a .NET developer and provide a link to download/purchase them. I hope for this list to grow over time as new software is released. If anyone has any additions to this list please contact me and I will add it immediately.

James Kovacs just did a webcast for the Ignite The Code series where he discussed a lot of the listed tools in depth. You should definitely check it out.
