In this episode of The MicroISV Show, we interview Jim Holmes and James Avery, authors of the new O'Reilly book: Windows Developer Power Tools (companion website).

Jim and James talk about how the book was written (65 collaborators!) and give their top five picks for Power Tools for MicroISVs:


James' top five:

1.       Subversion
2.       Trac
3.       Mbunit
4.       Cruise control.net
5.       Nhibernate

Jim's top five:

1.       Subversion
2.       Trac
3.       Mbunit
4.       Msbuild
5.       Watir

Jim also picked out FxCop as his one "must have" tool that isn't on the lists.

    Great show!  The one problem I had with may be technical in origin, but Bob stepped on the guests several times.  I don't know if maybe he can't hear them well enough, but he cut their answers short several times to ask his next question.

    Otherwise, great job Michael and Bob!

    Thanks for the observation.  We are aware of that problem and have since upgraded the recording tool Bob used.

    Hopefully this should not happen in the future.

    Congratulation on an informitive and interesting PodCast.
    I've ordered the book and look forward to reading it.

    ### SHAME LESS PLUG ###

    I had an idea about how to setup a team development environment for the MicroSV who wants to use Subversion with VS.Net. It includes lots of little tricks that I found but hadn't been put together in one place.

    You can read the tutorial here:

    Feedback would be great!

    regards,
    Ralph

    I would suggest .Net developers use WatiN instead of Watir.  There is also a port of Scott Hanselman's  WATiR WebRecorder++ called WATiN WebRecorder++ that will record an IE session and provide you with a basic test script.
