Free Web Development Software

“If its free, its for me.” If that is you mantra, rejoice for you are a moocher. But, the Internet makes it sooo easy these days that it is hard NOT to be a moocher. I proudly mooch with the best of them; I would rather chug an Ex-Lax milkshake than pay $500-$1000 for some software (despite the fact that I have to sometimes – pay the money I mean – not chug an Ex-Lax milkshake). So, it is in that spirit that I notify you of more free goodies.

In fact, we have created some new categories, all starting with “Toolbox”. So, fellow bottom-feeders, stay alert to posts that populate those and you may find a sweet little program for FREE.

First up – an awesome post from Pixel Acres. Jonathan grouped several nice programs to lighten your web development load without lightening your wallet:

• Write a ton of PHP code? Check out PHP Designer. As Jonathan says,
  

  [It] includes a code debugger, syntax highlighting, code tips, and a number of shortcuts for adding common PHP statements and HTML tags to your documents. Think of it as a text editor on speed.

• Need an FTP program? Check out SmartFTP. We use it – very nice…

There are plenty more listed on his blog so check it out. Make sure to check back with us as we have more goodies to post about and they are all free.
