I know this could be a potentially wide open topic but are there any good blogs, tutorials, guides or references for visual Studio Extensibility related material. I've swam through msdn and seen a couple potentially good guides provided I already know what I'm doing with the materials but, as far as starting off without getting lost is there anything out there?
Well I guess I'll start....
This is a nice start into VS2010 Package Development and is pretty damn hefty and informative
This one talks about using Dynamic commands in UI Context and as it goes along it gets into modifying other menus in the IDE...
This is an one is for using MEF for noobs and hits a number of different areas including working with silverlight
This set is freakin gold. LearnVSXNow is a 44 (and counting) series of articles covering old and new stuff from MPF to MEF. A vertible treasure trove of Visual Studio Extensibility knowledge to pillage. YARR!
The Holy Grail of msdn refs for DTE Objects and the Stucture. Yes it says vs2003 but they are all made to be backwards compatible but words do not describe how helpful this has been
I've found Carlos Quintero's blog to be one of the best places for a huge variety of useful information on VS extendability:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/carlosq/
Also the MSDN page on VS extensibility is a good starting point: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/vstudio/vextend.aspx

Is there any alive Haskell library which implements FRP and could be used to program UI/interactive graphics?
What I expect from such a library:
Doesn't use any crazy GHC extension, so code could be understood by mortals.
Not abandoned (had some commits in last 6 mouths and few answered thread in mailing lists).
Backed by some modern window library (Qt, GTK) and covers fair amount of it functionality.
Also has drawing and animation support, i.e. let the user to simply define some shapes and effects and bind their parameters to behaviors.
I checked some resources and picture is quite sad.
Original Fran and its ancestor Fruit family are officially dead.
Reactive is an abstract framework and doesn't have bindings to real UI/graphics (did I miss something?).
Netwire also look aimed for general case. Currently it has no documentation covering how to build UI/graphics with it. The only example is a full application not even close to tutorial.
Grapefruit looks good, but it had last commits in December 2013 and the mailing list full of spam. I consider it abandoned.
Yampa has not documentation at all, and the mailing list is silent since November 2013.
Reactive Banana has been updated relatively regularly, has bindings to SDL, some decent examples, a tutorial and a relatively small but decently commented API reference.
There's also a backend to wx, and see this question about using it with GtK.
The maintainer, Heinrich Apfelmus, is on Stack Overflow, and often answers questions on the reactive-banana tag.
Does this suit your needs?
GUI programming is the major use case of reactive-banana I believe.

I'm wanting to learn assembly programming and have found some great resources online, but the majority of them are oriented towards Linux users, DOS users, or use a high level assembler. I have no problem with Linux, but I just prefer Windows. Are there any resources (preferably online, but book is fine) that are oriented towards Windows users. I also would like it to give a strong explanation of the hardware.
To really learn the Intel/AMD processor, you may want to read from the source:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/architectures-software-developer-manuals.html?iid=tech_vt_tech+64-32_manuals
This will give you everything you need to know about all the instructions. It won't tell you how to write code for your assembler, though. However, Intel uses the same syntax as Microsoft uses, so it should be a perfect match.
Note that AMD has similar books that you can also download. I prefer the Intel docs, but unless you want to use extensions from one of these brands, you'll be good with either one.
These books are free too.
Yes, get a book.
But you'll also want programming tools. Visual Studio Express for C and C++ includes ML, an x86 assembler, and a quite nice development environment. To my amazement, it is free. Guess MS is making tons of money on Word.
This suggests you should get a book that is focused on Microsoft assembler, often called "MASM" in spite of being filed under "ML.exe".
There's plenty of good info on the web. http://masm32.com/ for instance. Also, look up "wininc" (which can be used with jwasm). Microsoft's own online documentation is a bit challenging to search/read, but has all the details you'll need.

If I understand things correctly, at the end of the year Google Code will be shutting down most of what is useful for an open source project I help maintain, described below.
I'm wondering what the current alternatives are to Google Code? I'm looking for a site that has the following attributes, some of which are attractive about Google Code (but which will not be available soon or in the long term):
free
svn/mercurial/git version control services that we can use to manage code and share trunk/branches with the public
hosts files (source code and prebuilt binaries) with reasonable storage (we currently have a 4 GB quota, but we don't use much of it, at this time)
offers wiki-like or relatively free-form web space to publish documentation (text and graphics)
I guess we could "roll our own" server to do all of this, but then it becomes a maintenance issue for all the services that run in the background. So I'm wondering if there are other companies that offer this kind of setup for open source projects?
(Note: While this is a software development question, it is more about the distribution side of things. If this is the wrong spot for this question, feel free to comment on where I should move it. Thanks for your help, hiveminds.)
Google code isn't shutting down, it's just stop hosting binaries.
For your binaries you have Bintray.com.
Bintray is a social platform for community-based software distribution. It is also the only platform that integrates developer tools (Build tools, etc.) and APIs, allowing full process automation, including auto-generating of indexes for multiple repository formats and also, the platform is highly available and optimized to deliver high-performance downloads (CDN).
Microsoft's codeplex would fit these needs

Are there any light weight tools (preferably portable so I can put it in a memory stick) that can compile C# code snippets? I don't want to load Visual Studio, create a project and all to test a small code snippet.
Thansks!
How about http://rextester.com/rundotnet?
This is online - so always available - downsides are it's a little slow, so good for trying out simple things quickly - not so great if you're doing anything more complex.
Alternatively if you want an offline approach try Linq Pad
http://www.linqpad.net/
Although it was primarily created to debug LINQ statements - it actually works as a great lightweight general purpose IDE.
SnippetCompiler would be one, though it hasn't been updated for a while so could be out of date.
Edit: See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2775055/looking-for-replacement-for-snippet-compiler for more up-to-date alternatives
I have created a lightweight version of Visual Studio. It is essentially just the
packages required to get MSBuild.exe working.
The installer is a PowerShell script that sets the necessary variables, registry
keys and files.

FogBugz is great bug tracking and project management software. But it is not free and non-open source. Is there a good enough, open-source and free application, which can be used as replacement to FogBugz?
Actually, I like EBS (Evidence-based Scheduling) feature in FogBugz. Are there good trackers with this feature?
There is Bugzilla, which is an open source issue tracking system.
Here is a more extensive list
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue-tracking_systems
While there are plenty of decent open source bug trackers such as Bugzilla (as Navi mentioned) and Mantis Bug Tracker, I haven't found many which also include solid project management features like FogBugz and other licensed software.
I suppose that it also depends on what kind of project you are tracking. If it's something which doesn't require much more security than a username/password, you might find a good number of web services which can host your needs; however, if you work for a company/industry which requires more discretion (say- government?), then you most likely won't be able to take advantage of the greater web community for these needs.
