Firtsly I want to share web pages with you.

If I have problems, I do search on Stackoverflow and in some cases I follow questions topics like C, C++, Java.

GitHub — Gitlab

These web pages are the ones I use and like most. Because I like writing code and sharing and also love OpenSource. These places is suitable for it. You can easily find codes of most popular applications, libraries and languages. If you want to learn coding these must be your first place to pass time. I use Github for opensource projects and most of time private projects I use Gitlab. Both of them are very good options to use.

Pomodoro technique is a time management method. This method has developed in the late of 1980s by Francesco Cirillo. I frequently use pomodoro technique when working on. It is increasing productivity. This simple and useful web application help me to use pomodoro.

Applications

To development some stuff, you need to use some tools. These are tools that I need.

STS — Spring Tool Suite

To development backend applications I use Java Spring Boot framework. STS is a official IDE for Spring. It’s the next generation of Spring tools for your coding environment. STS is a open source project. It’s free. And you can also use this on VSCode, Atom. If you want to develop Spring-based enterprise applications you prefer Eclipse, VSCode or Atom. More information visit official website.

I’m very comfortable when using it. It’s supported lots of development environment like C, C++, Java etc. Good option for development.

DBeaver

In the work time you may need some databases such as MSSQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL etc. I always use remote databases in work time not local because these databases are heavy on the computer. So that I use a client application to access databases. I use DBeaver. DBeaver is a SQL Client application and is a free, opensource, graphical database management tool for database developer and administrators. It’s very useful and fast application. It’s a cross platform also working on Linux, Windows and Mac. It has develop by Java language.
