|
|
My shareit.com purchase of $2171
was just approved by management.
While waiting for delivery I'm wondering
could I make better selection for that
budget?
Conditions:
1. Only stuff avaliable from shareit.com is considered.
2. I use Delphi 7 Arhitect.
3. I have Oracle 8, SQL Server 2000, Firebird 1.5 in production
4. I don't use any commercial 3rd party components (until now
5. Only 3rd party Commercial tools I used so far
was Help & Manual from http://www.ec-software.com/
and GWD text Editor from http://www.gwdsoft.com/
and Sleuth QA Suite and Memory Sleuth from defunct TP
So, here is my list: (prices in euros)
ModelMaker Tools Code Explorer 99
ModelMaker Tools UML Explorer 99
ModelMaker Tools Str Diff Viewer 29
Peganza Pascal Analyzer 121
Upscene DB WorkBench - All modules 529
Two Desk Castalia Universal 150
TMS Component Pack Pro 145
TMS Skin Factory 50
TMS Plugin Framework 75
Adrian Galero FlexCel 75
wpCubed wPDF standard 215
Mathias Rauen madCollection 131
Total purchase 1718
So, what did I miss?

Do you need Unicode and/or XP-Theming unter 95/98-2003: |
Use ElPack ([url]http://www.lmdtools.com/products/lmdelpack/)[/url].
and you can save some TMS-Packages.

Beyond Compare (http://www.scootersoftware.com/)
VMWare Workstation (http://www.vmware.com)
Team Coherence (http://www.qsc.co.uk) if you need a decent configuration
management suite.

In my tools list, I only mentioned |
coding aids and delphi specific stuff.
and it is so cheap ($30) so I
would take it, only if it was
purchaseable on shareit.com.
VMWare Workstation is probably
THE most useful tool of all I use
in development & testing.
It is also indispensible for
browsing dark side of the web.
for source control I use
subversion with tortoise.
for building, final builder
was considered, but not
avaliable on shareit.
Maybe it will be purchased
separately in september, but
I have no idea.

I'm not sure what your question is, but maybe you want suggestions for what
other components to buy?
There is a newsgroup to discuss third party components, but anyway, I
suggest
* If you don't have them already, MadExcept or EurekaLog
* Since you have a .de email address, maybe a localization tool (eg Korzh
Localiser)
* Maybe some icons, like the Glyphx ones
It's really hard to guess what components you might be interested in without
knowing what kind of work you do, so I'll stop there . . .

Except that a.b@c.de isn't a real email address. "c.de" is not a valid
domain name as they have to have at least two characters before the
dot.

True. I didn't look closely.

Yes, sugestion on better alloocation of same amount,
for tools and components listed on shareit.com..

Well, madCollection is on my list. And, madExcept
is part of that collection. I'm glad that I helped
Mathias with 130 euros. Im sorry that Vladimr Kladov,
Colin Wilson, Marcel Van Brakel, Eric Grange and some
others were not on accessible on shareit.com.

I see in your list some things I have worked with. TMS Component Pack
Pro is an excellent value. Thumbs up! I always love the ModelMaker stuff.
Last time I used DB Workbench was went it went commercial. I have used
many database tools, but I haven't found a database tool _so polished_
and _with such attention to detail_ at IB Expert. It is an outstanding
product. <sigh> But it's Interbase/Firebird only. I guess that's what
makes it so good. It's not one of these "jack of all trades; master of
none" tools. I would buy DB Workbench /and/ IB Expert and use IB Expert
for all Firebird work.
Based on what I tried of the EMS products, I was not impressed. They
have shared roots with IB Expert, but IB Expert is far ahead in usability.
If you are doing Firebird work, you might want to look at some
commercial database drivers for dbExpress or ADO if doing Win32 or
VCL.NET development.

Thanks for answering.
As for IBExpert, it's IB/FB only
attribute is what takes it out of
considereation.
I am very glad to hear
TMS is good stuff.
It is what started whole purchase,
since I wanted something that
adds features to pure Borland
visual components, but keeps
compatibility. If it will work as
expected, I it probably best deal.
