What free tools are you using for web development?

14 years ago

Hi,

I use the following -

HTML Web Development-
HTML-Kit - HTML Kit for more than editing HTML
InType Code Editor - Intype
Much better than notepad for doing your code - currently free.
NoteTab Pro - Award-Winning NoteTab Text Editors and HTML Editors - Another great free text editor that I use regularly. Just use the free version.
Wordpress - For free websites/themes etc. Plus if I need a HTML site quite often I find a cool WP Theme that I like and just save the page as HTML and use that as a base template for a HTML website.
Filezilla Portable for FTP - Lives on a portable encrypted USB drive so I can work on sites anywhere in the world.

E-Commerce-
Plimus.com - Not really free as you have to pay a small fee on sales (like you do with Paypal) but its free to set up and you dont start paying until you make a sale.

Other -
Gmail - I use it to load up 4 or 5 pop3/smtp email accounts al under one interface. Saves having to check 3 or 4 email addresses one by one.
Truecrypt - TrueCrypt - Free Open-Source On-The-Fly Disk Encryption Software for Windows 7/Vista/XP, Mac OS X and Linux - Keeps all my customer data secure by encrypting all my computers and drives.
Reseller Panel - Domain, Web Hosting, Virtual & Dedicated Server Reseller Programs by ResellersPanel
This is a Free Webhosting Reseller Account - you can set up as a webhost using this at no cost. Once you get into it you can pay for domains, IPs, webhosting etc which is no longer free (although still cheap) But its free to start.

Cheers

Max

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for.

I'm going to post some linux tools here soon, as I do a lot of development in Linux and I think it might be helpful to put those tools up too, in case anyone is thinking about making the switch someday. It's amazing how nice it is to do php/mysql stuff in a linux environment. Very smooth and nice for sure.

I've spent the last couple months trying out different editing software for PHP programming.

Originally I used Dreamweaver simply because that's what I used before I learned PHP.

I tried both Aptana and Eclipse IDE's to see what the whole "IDE" thing was about. I found both to be incredibly sluggish and even simple tasks made the program screech to a halt.

Notepad++ was alright, but I kept on trying other things.

Komodo Edit made me very happy, except for the lack of FTP sync. It did have the nice plug-in to let you work directly with remote files, but then you had to download it all later to keep a local copy.

So now I'm a couple weeks into using NetBeans IDE. It seems to keep me just as happy as Komodo Edit, but also includes the "Upload on Save" feature that I like so much from the Dreamweaver days.

Another tool worthy of a mention is Firebug. A browser plug-in that lets you fix/tweak/edit CSS in the browser so you can see the results in real-time.

What I use for my enterprise size PHP projects is Zend Studio which is not free, but well worth the price. I currently use 5.5.1, so I can't vouch for the Eclipse based versions, but it works great for managing very large PHP projects.

Hello:

If you are interesting using Linux, I suggest you look into CERN's version of Scientific Linux which is based on Red Hat's Enterprise version of Linux.

This is EXACTLY the same operating system as CERN uses and is automatically updated (optionally) just as if you work there. So, when the atom-smashers get bug fixes and software updates, you get them at the same time. This effectively means that CERN's IT department works for you as well.

NB: There is no other public support, but they recommend Red Hat's documentation as the changes are minimal.

You can choose what software tools to have installed (including web development tools and a server) when you do the initial installation. Once done, your system will be ready for you to use immediately. As I mentioned above, this is CERN's official operating system so all the tools used at CERN are there for your use also.

If you decide to try it, here are a few points. If you use the internet install method, DO NOT SKIP over choosing the display time for the initial operating system choice screen. I did that and only had about 3 seconds to view it.

Also, there is a downloadable version of their latest official release. I found the file was a little too large for a 4.7 Gb DVD after the disc was formatted.

CERN understandably focuses on reliability instead of newness. So, if you want the latest Linux this is not it.

There is also a searchable software repository that may be of value to you even if you use a different version of Linux.

What benefit is there to using CERN's Red Hat based distribution over using CentOS, which is also based on Red Hat Enterprise?

I'm guessing that CentOS has a larger support community.

No. Real programmers write web applications in machine code or assembly language. They don't use editors. It is all done on punch cards, each card being punched manually with a pocket knife, watching out for hanging chads. These cards are then mailed to the datacenter where the web server resides, and each card is fed into the machine one by one. That's the way real programmers do it.

Yeah I've been hearing that same crap for years when people who hate IDEs. It's like making fun of people who use power drills rather than screwdrivers. It's a personal preference and if it's faster and more productive to use an IDE, why not? Time is money.

The only exception is people who swear by vi or vim in Linux. Vi is super simple, and a complete nightmare for newbies, but once you get the hang of it, it's a really great tool. I do a lot of php and perl stuff with it to this day, it's a great timesaver once you get the hang of it.

There are open source programs that do similar things, but I wouldn't necessarily say they're "equivalent"

Photoshop --> The Gimp or Paint.net

Dreamweaver --> Pretty much any of the editors listed here

I tell people all the time, you don't have to break the bank to get started in web development. But eventually you are going to want some professional tools that you'll have to pay for. But to start, you can do it all for free.

If you want to add some cool 3D to your headers, graphics and such then Blender is a great free, open-source 3D content creation suite.

I'm not saying that 3D is easy, but if you have the time and patience to learn it (or just don't sleep much

) you can create some pretty amazing stuff!

And then we have ffmpeg for converting almost any video format to Flash video (or another video format). There is a module for PHP as well. And then we have VirtualDub for quick, powerful, video editing.

Audacity is another tool, great to edit your audio files and lots of filters!

That's because Notepad++ sucks

I use WAMP instead of XAMPP. It is much more stable, has a better user interface and allows to test out multiple versions of PHP, MySQL, and Apache with a single click.

Install PHP 5 Apache MySQL on Windows : WampServer

For everything else, I use paid solutions, because you get what you pay for. I use Zend Studio for most of my development, (I am a web developer). I used to use NetBeans, but it is too resource intensive to do the same thing that Zend does.

By the way, many different applications have discount, OEM, or student discounts available. Just look around, you will probably be able to find something.

This is your business, INVEST IN IT!
