CKS: Community Kit for
SharePoint: Development Tools Edition
This is the greatest compilation
of add-ons to Visual Studio. This is a must! (You need to select the appropriate
version for you, either Foundation or Server, before you can see the download
option. Some users have a hard time to find the link because they go directly to
the downloads tab and it is empty)
Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint
Power Tools
You will find some extra
templates, including the one to create Sandboxed visual webparts.
Silverlight SharePoint Web
Parts
An extension for adding
Silverlight web parts to SharePoint features.

Microsoft patterns &
practices: Developing Applications for SharePoint 2010
This guidance provides a deep
technical insight into the key concepts and issues for SharePoint 2010 solution
developers.
SharePoint Manager
2010
It is a very useful tool to
check interesting things, like internal names for Site Columns, and a lot more,
via a tree view control. It enables you to browse every site on the local farm
and view every property. It also enables you to change the properties.
ULS Viewer
There are other ways to log
errors from code, if you do the code yourself, but sometimes there is no other
way, to check what might be wrong with a SharePoint installation, than to dive
into the SharePoint LOGS. This tool is the best way to make some sense of it and
filter by the recurrent Correlation ID that appears with “Unexpected
errors”.
PowerGUI Powershell Editor
This community tool is updated
regularly adding new functionality with each new release. It is a free graphical
user interface and script editor for Microsoft Windows PowerShell!
ReSharper
This is not entirely related to
SharePoint development, but more of a generic .Net developer productivity
booster. It is not a free tool but it is not expensive either. So, if you are a
“hard coder”, or SharePoint dev Ninja, you will see what I mean by “productivity
booster”. The last version of this tool also includes a de-compiler.
CAML.Net.Intellisense
I already talked about this one
on my previous post. Better CAML intellisense than the one provided out of the
box.
