Tools for Devlopers
Window Snap
If you use API’s but don’t have VS, that it can be a pain in the bottom to get window classes and the like. The nice thing about Window Snap is that it lets you get screen capture of the window too! which is an improvement on Spy++!

Script based, but with an easy to use wizard, completely free for all users, powerful easy and fast.
Advancedinstaller (free version)

Not as powerful as Inno set up (in free mode), but very easy to use and nice on the eye. Will happily set up file structure for you applications, build exe’s and so forth.

There is a new type of addin for Excel capable of building every advanced type of charts and graphics (including dynamic diagrams, custom choropleth maps and infographics).
The free version (called “Lite”) can be downloaded at http://www.begraphic.com . It includes gauges, Six Sigma’s “value stream mapping” (not only BI, but also PI – “Process Intelligence” showing new type of dashboard including both alerts and process diagrams) and visual reporting (also called dynamic infographics, as in the New York Times).
Users who send a request using their pro email receive 7 500 additional geographical maps, whose colors and borders change depending on values.
Last but not least, BeGraphic Lite includes the best sparklines for Excel : “SfE”, proposing the best range of mini charts inside Microsoft Office.
Microsoft Europe made a presentation of BeGraphic Lite one month ago (during the 2010 Techdays) and Nasa, US DOD, General Motors, Nokia… are using it.
Test the free version and give some feedbacks !
