• Applications: (they’re all free)
  • Firefox add-ons:
    • Firebug. I use it heavily to debug html and CSS. It also allows you to edit CSS styles on the fly! Very powerful.
    • DownThemAll!. Speeds up your downloads by splitting the file in chunks and downloading each chunk in a separate http request. It really works!
    • Live HTTP Headers. See the HTTP headers of the pages you visit
    • Web Developer. I use it mostly to resize my browser window to 1024×768 pixels to see how a low res monitor sees my web pages.
  • Notepad2: Don’t you just hate how Notepad does not have a good undo history, how its word wrap view is buggy, and it has no code highlighting? Well all of that is a thing of the past with Notepad2.
  • Notepad++: I use it to write php code. I like that it has a tab for each file you have open as opposed to one window for each. For coding I like tabs, for regular text files (because I usually don’t open too many at once) I prefer Notepad2
  • WinSCP: Easy to use Windows GUI application I use to transfer files to/from a Linux box through SCP or SFTP.
  • .NET Reflector: Great tool for analyzing and decompiling .NET assemblies.
  • paint.net: Photoshop look alike. I love how it can adjust the colors of your photos. It can make the colors in your photo be like the colors you saw when you took it. It’s open source and
    made with .NET .
