List of Industry Software

June 6th, 2007

No matter whom you talk to, it seems that every professional has a different set of tools in their web industry toolbox. Sure there’s the more common tools such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver — but what I would like to know about is the “not so common,” as I’m sure others do to. So what great tools do you use and recommend, and in particular, what FREE and NOT-TO-EXPENSIVE tools do you use?

For example, if I’m on my Windows box, I find myself using Notepad++ a lot. This tool is great for just about any file type including plain text to javascript to html to xml to sql and more because it has a lot of great features. For example, it has syntax highlighting, line numbers, line collapse, the ability to expand through plugins, et cetera.

Anyway, here’s a short list of some others by category…

Design:

Productivity:

Utility:

So what’s your recommendation, what are your must haves?

    Hmmm.

    Let’s see.

    Notepad2 is a great light text editor with decent syntax highlighting. It’s great to use as a quick editor, and doesn’t need to be slid into the registry.

    Crimson Editor is a little more hard than the notepad2, but includes tabbed browsing and projects and a little more oomf.

    Paint.NET is a free, windows-based .net editor for graphics/photos. I find it easier to use than other programs that people have suggested, like gimp.

    On Win, to complement PuTTY, I like the free WinSCP for secure copy to remote hosts.
