I Heart...

Doxygen. I used to think it was pretty silly and useless. I have since seen the light.

The Eclipse plugin for it also rocks.

I hate to admit that the geekiness of this post is, I'm afraid, quite beyond me. Sigh.

hehe. The cheat sheet is as follows: Doxygen is a way for you to slightly modify the comments in your program so that when you run Doxygen on it, it can extract the comments in a clever way so you get a hyperlinked, formatted, generally nifty set of documentation on your code. I used to think the Doxygen output was a bit wanky and useless, but in big projects you can easily browse the structure of your code without being distracted by all the nitty-gritty.

Eclipse is an IDE that does a whole bunch of extra nifty things so you can code quickly and easily (for example, automatic formatting, automatic compilation, auto-completion...) There's a Doxygen plugin for Eclipse which makes coding all the more nifty.

Nothing astounding, but it was pleasing enough for a blitz-LJ-post.

Ah - excellent. Good to know. Unless it helps me to code IF, though, I probably won't be using it. ;)
