James first started this website when learning Visual Basic back in 1999 whilst studying his GCSEs. The site grew steadily over the years while being run as a hobby - to a regular monthly audience of over half a million unique developers. In July '08 James left his job as Head of Development at a digital agency in London to focus his energies on developerFusion full-time.
For me, the Windows Task Manager is something I couldn't do without.WinTasks 4 Professional is positioned as its replacement for all IT professionals and software developers - and does a very good job too. It's basically a resource management app - providing tonnes of information on running processes, and their memory/cpu usage.

Once started up (which actually took quite a few seconds on my machine, even
with the patch applied from the website) WinTasks presents you with a detailed
list of currently running processes. This table includes the process name, its
executable path, priority, number of threads, CPU and memory usage, plus the
time when that process was started. The window at the bottom also provides a
space for your own notes on the process (saved, of course!) and any additional
information WinTasks can provide - for example, inetinfo.exe - part of
IIS (used for debugging). From this list, you can identify system processes
at a glance, end a process, change its priority, and access it's executable's
property window.
