I've been thinking alot lately about all the great ways that are available to get “Quick Wins” in coding projects.  (I guess I kind of started with Client-Side Logging post.)

There's all kinds of UI coolness out there:

• Thinking of a calendar?  Try Timeline instead.
• CSS has tons of hidden goodies, even if your not a designer or Standards junkie.  Smashing Magazine is my favorite source - here's 53 ideas from them. 
• The Extender feature of the MS Ajax Control toolkit has spawned a bunch of good controls - here's a few:
  • Dirty form alert
  • Multicolumn drag & drop
  • Update an UpdatePanel from the client
  • MS Ajax back button and history support

Some really simple add-ins for your site when frameworks like EntLib are just too much:

• Caching is magic.  Take control with CacheManager
• Don't let unhandled exceptions become unnoticed exceptions.  Use ELMAH
• WSAT isn't available remotely.  4Guys has a pretty good alternative - http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/052307-1.aspx
• Keep spammers from harvesting email addresses
• There's a millions great uses for HttpModules - Mads has a bunch and WebResource.axd compression is what brought me to his site

Use the Visual Studio Installer (VSI) built in to VS 2k5 to improve speed, consistency, across a team:

• Easy distribution of Visual Studio stuff like Add-ins, Macros, Code Snitppets, Templates, and Controls
• Create web page templates the contain master pages, references, headers, footers, etc in just a matter of minutes usnig the File/Export... command.
• Use the Snippet Compiler to create and package reusable code snippets for common functions like custom DAL calls, Try...Catch blocks with logging,
• Create an entire solution with multiple projects and make it available in the New Project window

Enjoy!
