I've just bought a new 4GB USB thumb drive and I'm trying to decide what to put on it. I'm thinking about one of the webserver on a stick packages, a C/C++ IDE (leaning toward Code::Blocks; had Dev-C++ on my old USB drive) and Python.

What development related tools do you carry around with you on yours?

Update

I've added categories.

IDEs

Code::Blocks Open source, cross platform C/C++ IDE

• Supports several compilers (that you must supply) but you can also download a version that includes MingW.

回答1:

Assuming a Windows Machine:

• WinMerge
• Notepad++

回答2:

Sysinternals tools

回答3:

I use a 16GB USB-Stick (larger volumes are available) as a Linux-system, that contains my complete work-environment. Every computer I use boot from this drive into my system.

回答4:

I like PortableApps. I use NotePad++, OpenOffice applications, etc.

回答5:

I recommend .NET Reflector

回答6:

For Windows, many of the sysinternal tools.

回答7:

The Portable Apps website has a load of applications that may be useful, such as WinMerge, Notepad++ and Gimp.

If you do a lot of web development that I believe thatAptana will fit on a thumb drive.

回答8:

• Visual C# and Visual C++ 2008 Express editions (extracted from the "offline install" DVD image)
• .NET Framework 3.5 full redistributable (and Windows Installer 3.1 to install it)
• 7zip portable & installer
• Process Monitor and Network Monitor from Windows Sysinternals
• Firefox installer
• IEInspector installer
• Code Architect's Regex Tester
• Windows Live Messenger silent installers (Contacts.msi and Messenger.msi extracted from the bootstrap web installer), A-patch, and an A-patch settings file to turn off all the stuff I don't want and set it up the way I like it.

回答9:

Ubuntu Linux

回答10:

I have a lot on one of my keys, mostly asm related.

• OllyDbg
• WinHex
• Masm32
• RadAsm
• Putty
• Psftp
• Portable Opera
• .Net Reflector
• Portable Firefox

I also have

• InfraRecorder
• MediaCoder
• GnuCash

And some other stuff that I can't remember as I don't have it on me :'(

I also have a usb key with backtrack3 on it and one with a windows image that I can use to install it on my netbook really quickly. I think this is a good guide on doing that.

回答11:

Note: I am a Windows developer. This colours what you read below.

• Dependency Walker (Depends.exe)
• WinZip
• Notepad++ (v5)
• DbWin32
• Process Explorer
• HEdit - a hex editor
• WinDiff
• Ripper - an app I co-wrote for stripping redundant lines from log files.
• DelSub - an app I wrote for deleting files with given extensions in a folder tree. Handy for removing NCBs and PCHs etc. before backup.
• DosHere - an explorer extension for adding a "command prompt here" entry to the context menu for any folder. This is the FIRST THING I put on any windows box I have to use.
• DeTab - an app I wrote for stripping tabs out of source files. Note to self - need to update this for Unicode.

Note the emphasis on debugging native code here, because if I'm out in the field, that's usually what I'm doing.

回答12:

1. Firefox
2. Notepad++
3. Python
4. Some music (it calms me between coding jobs!)

回答13:

It's handy to have http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ (grep/cut/sh etc...) You may need some environment better then cmd to run it. Try FAR - http://www.farmanager.com/index.php?l=en (use open source one).

Denver is all in one web server package (also with usb-flash install support): http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=uk&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.denwer.ru%2F&sl=ru&tl=en&history_state0=

But it is for russian audience.

回答14:

PortableApps.com has most of what's on my portable USB drive:

• Filezilla
• Firefox
• Notepad++
• PuTTY
• Wireshark

Besides those, I also have Beyond Compare on my USB drive.

回答15:

When I am debugging something on someones' machine, the first thing I do is install Vim. Join us, it's a way of life.

回答16:

• Snippet Compiler
• 7 Zip

回答17:

I use to take with me UnixUtils.

UnixUtils are a set of commands of Unix ported to windows, so I only have to add a directory to the windows path and then i'm able to use most of the common linux command in the shell of a windows machine, making my job easier.

回答18:

I would add LINQPad to this list. If you have to do anything at all with LINQ queries, it's must-have software. It has a self-contained executable so you could run it completely from a thumb drive if you wanted to.

回答19:

My VPN Client Software ;)

MMmm Sweet sweet remote desktop. drool

回答20:

Ones not mentioned:

• WinSCP (for all your S/FTP, etc connections)
• LINQPad (for all your .NET code testing)
• PuTTY

回答21:

• Putty
• WinSCP
• Notepad++ - a must have.
• Firefox - another must have.
• XAMPP - there is a standalone version especially for memory sticks which works well.
• Netbeans

回答22:

I carry a VirtualBox hard drive file that contains the whole development environment for our project.

It takes about a minute to set up on a any new machine for development in a familiar environment.

Install VirtualBox, create a new virtual machine, plug in the usb drive, point the virtual machine to the hard drive file, boot into the dev environment from the virtual machien. Takes about a minute atop of the download time of VirtualBox.

回答23:

• emacs
• tucan (for windows backups)
• putty
• winscp
• SVN repository

回答24:

grep, definatly gotta have a grep tool of some kind.

回答25:

I recommend WinDbg.

回答26:

and FTP program like WinFTP and crossloop

回答27:

apache, php5 and mysql (as well as notepad++)

I also have some scripts that copy the php.ini file to the C:\windows folder,etc.

回答28:

I was about to say: "Nothing" and I decide to double check my USB and I found VIM and my .vimrc and ProcessXP

I don't usually use it from there, but from time to time ( 3 -6 months ) I get into a new machine and copy them from the usb.

回答29:

I would add to the list this great OSS for Windows:

• 7-zip. It can handle not only zips, gzs, bz2s, rars or arjs but even rpms or isos.
• Winmerge. A directory/file comparation tool is always necessary.

回答30:

I have my mobile phone number as the USB drive name so if I lose it an honest person could call me and return it.
