Online tools and resources
Every once in a while you run into a great online tool or resource, and makes life as a developer easier. Moving between companies as I do, I often see that people are using services that provide lots of value, but are not necessarily well known by most. So in this post I will start by sharing a few of the services that I have come accross lately.
