Right tools for the job

Here is a list of usefull tools I use for creating websites

  • Windows 7 64bit - The OS of choice for me
  • Aptana - IDE of choise for backend developing / programming with git as part of the IDE its simple to setup a new project
  • Dreamweaver CS5 - Front end development / Web design, great for CSS and XHTML and has a nice live site view to see how your site will look without using a browser
  • Fireworks CS5 - Web Design, uses vectors and outputs in bitmap. Shows file size if you output in the various file types. Best of Illustrator and Photoshop for web design
  • Illustrator - Graphic Design, great for free flowing designs without constraint
  • Photoshop - For cleaning and enhancing photos, a must for getting great results before putting photos online
  • WAMP - Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP, a nice server for windows
  • 7-Zip - Used for zipping and unzipping almost anything including all the Unix files
  • Hamachi - Used to log into my other computers and share files wherever I am
  • Dataflame - The choise of Domain and Web host
