To learn 3D game development with limited pockets, I guess you've tried many classic, free, open-source game development engines like TV3D (Truevision3D), OGRE and Irrlicht Engine. By contrast, the pros of TV3D are easy to learn and get started with; its cons are that it was built based on the ActiveX control and requires the RunTime DLL to be registered before running; OGRE is better than Irrlicht in that it has a capable and vigorous engine framework, and supports for extending new functionality in the form of plug-ins (this is better than Irrlicht); but its downside is that it's not easy to get started with.

Tiled (full name: Tiled Map Editor) is currently the most popular, powerful and flexible tiled map/level editor for all types of 2D games, developed by Thorbjørn Lindeijer in 2008 (written in Java, therefore it's cross-platform). It is identified as an edge tool for 2D game developers to quickly create game maps.

There are many software virtualization solutions now, and AppNee has founded and shared a number of related production tools. Thereinto, nothing is better than VMware ThinApp, but that doesn't mean there is no market for other similar applications. Evalaze is one of these tools I recently stumbled upon for portable software making enthusiasts.

The amount of information stored in a large database is very tremendous. This case, manual means of data migration or synchronization is not only very slow, but also probably causes data confusion or even loss. Utilizing some database synchronization software is more efficient, but that's always accompanied by a lot of trouble. As a consequence, a database synchronization tool that can completely avoid these problems is very necessary.

If you are an Arduino hardware developer, and don't have much time to become an expert in software development, you can make Visuino be your personal software expert. Because for the existing hardware products provided by Arduino, you might feel at a loss to the complexity of designing code to run their hardware components. This case, you can ask Mitov Software's Visuino for help.
