Re: Training/Mentoring a developer who doesn't seem to use many modern development productivity tools

In the early days of ReSharper there seemed to be a lot of benefit out of using it, but the pain was increased instability when it was added to Visual Studio - it used to crash Visual Studio frequently. Nowadays, it does seem to be more stable, but with much less benefit. Many of the more commonly

Not really much to add, but I do acknowledge you for taking an interest in your teams skill development. Its a rare trait. Sure you have a self interest in productivity, nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately theres a saying, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. Keep

I must be the only one that uses the toolbars still. Never used resharper either. I may be missing out On Tuesday, 19 July 2016, Preet Sangha wrote: > Thankyou. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt for the time being. > But I'll take your advice for my self too. Funny

Yeap I like this idea. Just watching videos with lots of shortcuts gets old real quick. Good luck and let us know how it goes, I'm curious how it works out. On Tuesday, 19 July 2016, Preet Sangha wrote: > This is what I've been trying to do this past week. Yeah I reckon I

This is what I've been trying to do this past week. Yeah I reckon I must be bombarding her - I'll ease up a bit. Thanks On 19 July 2016 at 16:16, DotNet Dude wrote: > I'd prioritise the most productive tools/keystrokes in terms of > productivity and have her do some

I'm more of a manual guy myself and have become pretty efficient but it only came with experience and coding for a while. How long has she been with your team? On Tuesday, 19 July 2016, Preet Sangha wrote: > Guys I wonder if I can ask for some advice please. > > I'm

Training/Mentoring a developer who doesn't seem to use many modern development productivity tools

Guys I wonder if I can ask for some advice please. I'm currently leading a project with a developer who originally came from a Delphi background but has been using visual studio (C++ and C#) for a few years now. However I'm finding that she doesn't seem to have much experience of many of the
