Setting Different Colors for Connections in SSMS

New  (for me) "killer feature" of SQL Server Managment Studio: Setting different colors for different servers in SSMS. This can reduce some "lunch test script on production" bugs. 

More details here: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Management+Studio+(SSMS)/101920/

p.s. it's a small thing that make me happy ;-)

Alternative To

Do you ever wonder what is an alternative software to one, that you are familiar with, but in some reasons you can't use it?
In example, adobe pdf reader is free to home use but can't be used as embedded in your app and can't be run on company server (due to its licence).

In that situations we need to look for alternatives. We can use google.com or duckduckgo.com for searching our alternative programs, but we can also use dedicated site created for that purpose: alternativeto.net

Postman

In current web development most communication between systems is done using API. In most cases it is REST API.

When working with external API or even when we need to set API for somebody else it would be great to have some good tool for REST API testing. And here comes Postman.   

Postman is free tool for REST API testing, with many functions, easy GUI, and ready for automation testing. Many web developers already use this tool (in example me) and I recommend you to test and maybe you too will start using it in you current work.
