I recently came across this fantastic resource. It is called LINQPad. You can use it to test any C#, F# or VB snippet or program. You can even use it to query databases in LINQ or SQL. It's ideal if you find some code on the internet that you want to quickly test, or if you want to play with the new features in C# 6 without having to set up a windows console/forms app or website.

This gives you real placeholder images to use in your site concepts or examples. It randomly picks an image each time the page loads.

If you want to be able to generate random and realistic data for your program, there is a fantastic free resource called Mockaroo.
