Summary Of Software I Like

Posted on by kairacapri

If you publish software written in Microsoft’s .NET, you should definitely look at the code obfuscator Babel For .NET. Unlike some other ones, it is affordably priced and full of features. I’ve had my software reverse compiled and hacked in the past, before I found out about Babel, and most certainly you want to close the door before the horse bolts. The author of Babel has done the world of software developers a huge favour by producing this work.

Axialis IconGenerator is a good tool to generate icons for Windows and Apple Macs. Its separately downloaded object packs are full of high quality icons, which really get you off to a good start.

Nicepage is new software (as of 28 February 2019) and has helped me get a website designed quickly. It generates HTML pages, as well as themes for Joomla and WordPress. I haven’t kept up with HTML, CSS and responsive web design (web pages adjusting to the smaller screens on smartphones) and so I can no longer hand-write a web page today that looks acceptable. That is where Nicepage comes in!

When I am writing sofware or collaborating with other authors, finding out how one text document differs from another is really useful. Comparing two folders of source code files to see all the changes is again really useful. TextDiff has helped me a lot. I can’t recommend it enough. It has saved me hours of time.

The Journey Begins

I’ve recently published a Windows software application and I wanted to recommend some tools that helped me get the software in a form ready for the world to see! I am not affiliated with these companies in any way, but I was impressed with their software and I wanted to tell the world.

I can program in C/C++, but when I comes to graphics and design, I have far less ability. I used Axialis IconGenerator to create the icons used by my software application and also for the website where it is published.

Axialis’s website has a lot of so-called object packs for IconGenerator, which can be downloaded separately. I downloaded about seven of them. For the first iteration of my website, I practically used the graphics in the object packs as-is. Their objects are very high quality and in some cases, far higher than I’ve seen anywhere else.

However their software is much more than just reusing graphics. With IconGenerator you can combine individual, already created graphics, change colours, add text, add shapes, add special effects etc. Axialis also sell what they call lifetime software and so more rarely nowadays don’t charge you for keep using the software or for upgrades. I think they are to be commended for this!
