Dreditor is great. Install it in your browser and start using it.

Projects

"The Drupal 7 Search Krumo Module extends the Devel module and makes it easier to debug PHP variables while developing Drupal modules or building Drupal themes."

Mediacurrent's Jay Callicott walks us through the Pardot marketing automation module.

Headless, headless, headless. I think this may be the first time I have ever linked to a README file. That said, if you know what REST means I think you will find this informative or at least interesting.
