LINQPAD
Do you know that issue, when a program could do a small job pretty quickly and you setup a new C# Project in Visual Studio, hack some stuff in, run it and never touch that project again?
Then LINQPad is the right thing for you! You can run C# Code without setting up a whole project and get your results in a sexy textbox. Check it out, it's absolutely worth it!
Edit: I really don't know why every recommendation I write sounds like an advertisement.

MARKDOWN NOTE MANAGEMENT

What is Markdown?
Great question! Markdown is a totally underrated markup language. A Markup language is not a programming language but a language to format text.
ANDROID OPEN SOURCE APPS
Recently I started replacing the standard apps on my phone with Open Source apps. Thats something i really can recommend.
PHP IN 2018
