10 Visual Studio Shortcuts you should make your habit.

Th Visual Studio is a great Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for millennium software developers and there are many features in it which you might not know. To deliver solutions to your clients fast, you need a way to work faster so, in this article, I am writing about some Visual Studio Shortcuts that could make you very efficient when developing.
The List:

  1. Ctrl+Tab: I love this shortcut, it helps me in navigating through Active Tool Windows and Active files and you can still further navigate with Up arrow, Down arrow keys, etc while holding down the Ctrl Key.
  2. Ctrl+K, C : This shortcut is used for commenting out selected lines of code, you first highlight the lines you want to comment out then you press Ctrl+K and press Key C while still holding Ctrl key.
  3. Ctrl+K, U: Of course it wont be complete if we have a shortcut for commenting out lines without the opposite shortcut. Use this shortcut the same way you use the commenting shortcut.
  4. Ctrl+Shift+F and Ctrl+F: Use this shortcut to search for something within your solution. Experiment to find the difference between Ctrl+Shift+F and Ctrl+F.
  5. Ctrl+Space bar: Use this shortcut to trigger intellisence.
  6. Ctrl+F5: Yeah, this is the most popular one, it starts and lets you test your program in a non-debugging mode.
  7. F5: This is the opposite of Ctrl+F5, it starts and lets you test your program in a debug mode.
  8. Ctrl+Shift+B: Sometimes, you want to build you project without running it, this shortcut helps you in accomplishing that.
  9. Ctrl+Shift+A: With this shortcut, you can add new item to your project.
  10. Shift+Alt+A: Use this shortcut to add existing item to your project.


Come on friends, the list is endless; if we continue writing today we are going to feel up the whole place. As a developer, the task that these shortcuts helps you to accomplish, are the task that you can't do without when developing a solution. If have a shortcut you think should be added to the list, please be very kind to list it in the comment section below, thanks.

Microsoft will allow you to upgrade your pirated Windows 7 or 8 to full Windows 10 for little or no amount.

Microsoft's latest Operating System has been trending for a while now, while some are still contemplating on who gets a free upgrade from the two previous Microsoft's Operating Systems just like the company promised and who wouldn't, Microsoft has announced that the upgrade to Windows 10 would be free for genuine Windows 7 or 8 users and there is a good news for pirated Windows 7 or 8 users, they too might go to the Promised Land for free or pay a little fee.Hmmm..., with this in place, you can see how determined Microsoft is to pull everyone into its Windows 10 ecosystem. You know, when Windows 10 Technical Preview was first announced along with how it's going to operate (Windows as a Service), I thought Microsoft is finally kicking Windows Pirates out of business, but it seems Microsoft is giving them one more chance to own a genuine Windows, maybe Windows 10  is going to be "un-piratable" (let's just hope MS gets it right).Hahaha!...., before I forget,

HOW TO WRITE, COMPILE AND RUN C++ CODE ON LINUX KALI

This article is for hackers who want to develop a c++ program on Kali Linux without having to install any additional software. While some would tell you that you need to install an additional software or a compiler in order to develop a simple program in c++ on Kali Linux, I am going to show you how to develop a c++ program on this distro right out of box. Your Linux Kali comes pre-installed with a c++ compiler called g++ so we are going to write a C++ hello word code and compile it with this compiler. Before we get started, first open up terminal and run to verify if this compiler is installed on you machine: g++ -v if the compiler is pre-installed, you should get the version information of the compiler, otherwise, you should get an error. Now let's jump right in. In your terminal window, type in: nano MyCpp.cpp to create a c++ file and lunch it in nano editor for editing. When nano opens, type in the following c++ code and press Ctrl+x then y and then R

LOAN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (My Project Idea)

There are many companies that specializes on giving loan to people; they make their profits by collecting interest on any money they lend out, and before a loan can be given to any customer, the customer must provide a collateral and some details such as:  contact details and a reference/guarantor. When the loan is finally given to the customer, they charge interest based on the the amount given to the customer for a given period of time which could be daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  For example, a company could be collecting interest based on a particular amount for a given period of time like: $200,000 loan would have an interest tag of $2,000  per month until the money is returned, and $100,000 would have an interest of $1,000 per month until the money is returned.  In  addition, the customers need to know when the time for them to pay their interest comes e.g.  at the end of the month or the timing model with which the calculation is being made. Usually, these companies sends ou
