Imagine Cup 2013 – Backstage

As many teams starting in imagine cup, there will be also huge numbers of newbe at programming, and I would like to give informations that will be helpful to them.

First, you have to manage your team and tasks, I use trello because it have pith of GTD. Just do it don’t use complicated system, it is not needed.

Second, you have to keep somewhere files of your projects (not only sources) and with help comes bitbucket, there is also github but unfortunately private repo is paid.

The least but not least, when you need sketch something or plan it use these few tools Microsoft Visio. I think it’s the best tool to create model of database, what else ? if there’s need of simple mockup of website or application I recomend you Moqups.

P.S Well, code, code and maybe we will see at St. Petersburg 😉

Windows Live Writer

When I was surfing on the net I came across to this tool, named “Windows Live Writer” . You can link it with wordpress and just use this as a editor for your posts.
It seems to be quite good, tool also have large gallery of plug-ins .

Few test to shows what we can do by this.
