Boosting Developer Productivity
The true added value of Visual Studio is dozens of
wizards, smart and context-sensitive popup windows,
effective debuggers, and visual designers are examples
of facilities that may not necessarily make any code
automatically smarter, but still help you focus on key
points—skimming over chores, repetitive tasks, and
overzealous procedures.

An Insight into a Developer’s
Mind
• “The programmer, like the poet, works only
slightly removed from pure thought-stuff.
He builds his castles in the air, from air,
creating by exertion of the imagination. Few
media of creation are so flexible, so easy to
polish and rework, so readily capable of
realizing grand conceptual structures.”
