While this isn't specific to the book Professional ASP.NET 2.0, I think some readers of the book and this forum might be interested. One of the authors, Scott Hanselman, recorded his recent beantown.net user group meeting presentation for us and we're posting it in segments on wrox.com. In it, he talks about some of his favorite developer productivity tools. The tools he talks about in this first 33 minute segment are:
* Notepad 2
* some little known built-in command line tools
* Process Explorer
* Slick Run
* ildasm
* .NET Reflector
* ngen

In upcoming weeks we'll post additional segments with his demos and thoughts on things including xmlserializer and a 30 minute Windows PowerShell segment.

This part mostly covers XMLSerializer and then a host of little tools in rapidfire succession. Next week will be the Windows PowerShell part of the presentation.
