| Code Templates: Empowering Your Abbreviations |
| In the past, you'd type 'En' in the Source Editor, then press Space, and then the IDE |
| would expand 'En' to 'Enumeration'. That's nice, but it's much better in 5.0 -- when |
| you type 'fori' you get a whole chunk of code for iterating over a variable. But, it |
| gets even better than that -- you can finetune that code template so that, if the |
| variable already exists, the IDE increments the variable it creates to the next letter. |
| Other things are possible too -- you can give the IDE a lot of hints to tell it what |
| kind of code you want your template to generate. See Geertjan's blog for more info: |

| Using Dependent Projects |
| A typical characteristics of any project is that it grows in size. Maybe your project |
| is already big enough that it would pay of to split it into more projects. Read Roman's |
| blog to find out how to define project dependencies and what are the advantages and |
| disadvantages of splitting a project: |

| Configuration Templates in Mobility Pack |
| It can happen that you created a really complicated configuration where you set all |
| the necessary properties e.g. emulator, set values to your abilities, filter your |
| resources, obfuscation level, deployment methods etc. This setup is for distribution |
| builds but you would need another configuration for testing/debugging purposes. The |
| "testing/debugging" configuration would be almost the same as the "distribution" but |
| there would not be any deployment, obfuscation will be off and you won't to deploy it |
| to your server. There is an easy way how you can do this with the Mobility Pack. |
