- ADG Panorama Tools 5.02.87. 360 Degrees of Beauty. — Panorama magic is a strange thing by how it impacts human’s imagination. What hidden forces make us keep looking at those (almost ordinary) photographs, which differ from other similar landscapes just by the LENGTH of the picture? I don’t know that hidden forces, but I certainly know the outcome — it’s the abnormal attractiveness of 360-degree images, as well as the attractiveness…
- EymBarcodeReader.ocx Decode Bar Code — Barcodes (the approach to encoding data in black-and-white bars) are widely used since their invention in the middle of the XXth century. They have proven themselves to be a universal and reliable mean in cases when a small amount of uniform significant data is to be associated with multiple things and then processed automatically. Though in last years the usage of barcodes has gradually yielded to distant…
- Country Codes 2.7, Data at Fingertips — In today’s vague times of «common» unlimited broadband Internet connection (which is not so common, really) and «modern cool» web-services it is thought that one doesn’t have to store on one’s computer information one can find on web. People with such thoughts typically don’t take into account the amount of time they waste when to find a byte of frequently-used data…
- PSpad, Code Looks Natural — Have you ever tried editing any programming code in the Windows’ standard notepad program? Wasn’t that easy and fun? I bet it was NOT. Although Notepad is light and easy to use, you can hardly recognize your even own code in it: no syntax highlighting or line numbering, and some important characters may even fail to appear. Is there a way to edit a code block without having to run those heavy development…
- www-Sharp 1.42, Exciting IDE for Web and Desktop — Speaking on www-Sharp IDE, I’m in a big trouble. Not because the software is bad or strange; it’s just the other way around: it has so many of so well designed and coupled capabilities that I still can’t believe all of that is real. But it is! Look here: www-Sharp is a tool for the client-side and/or server-side Web development, AS WELL as for the development of HTML-based…
- Dis# 3.1.1, Back To Sources — The great feature of bytecode-based languages, and, namely, .NET assemblies, is a possibility to «return to source code» at any time. Assembly decompilation is a great tool to understand «how something works», either some general algorithms and data structures, or internal logics of some software or components. Unfortunately, simple decompilation tools give a very poor result which is hard to read…
- AntiPlagiarist 1.8, Where's Your Sources? — Digital century and digital style of work bring new possibilities to all of us, but they also bring new problems. And new ways to solve those new problems; and new unwanted effects of those ways… And one of the most general possibilities (and a source of the problems) is *possibility to copy*. Scientific works and home works, magazine articles and blogposts, even entire chapters in serious technical books are shamelessly copied…
- Virtual Music Composer 3.0 PRO, A Source For Inspiration — Regardless of how «intellectual» you think your computer is, you can’t disagree that today’s software programmers have many smart ideas, useful for the most of us. In the area of music writing, conservative musicians tend to see the computer as a smart keyboard (sometimes way too smart); modern musicians tend to see it as a cutting table for samples and effects. Almost nobody tries to use the…
- Tidycode Pl/Sql Formatter 2.4.2, Making It Pretty — This utility can seem «just a small helper», but detailed analysis can say you it is really smart and really helpful (I’ll even say indispensable) for almost any database programmer. Its functionality can be easily guessed by name: it just formats PL/SQL code (as well as plain good SQL), and the way he does it can be characterized as «just right». OK, then WHAT is right about Tidycode…
