Aptana is a really good editor, alot of features and it’s free.
And I will also add Firebug, an extention for firefox, really
if you’re on this forum then firebug is a must have.
And finally a little program I found one day while freeware hunting,
ColorMania I don’t know where you can find it tho, But you
could probly google it.

What does this Firebug refer to? What does it do and how much space does it require?

Firebug is a Firefox extension that allows one to edit CSS, run Javascript and some other things from within Firefox. Great tool for debugging CSS and JavaScript.

What about dotproject in project management.

Its web based project management tool.

And it can be customized coz its open source

HTML Kit

Inkscape

GIMP

@Kanustep

Upload
AceFTP
CuteFTP
SmartFTP
FileZilla

I would also recommend WinSCP. It’s a FTP, SFTP and SCP client. Very stable and reliable (resumes transfers after disconnects etc). PortableApps.com has a [URL=“http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/winscp_portable”]portable version, too. The program is freeware.

Nobody has mentioned XAMMP ?

[Harold_Halbleib]

WinA&D is a proven tool for requirements management, system and software design. It also has a code generator for PHP which may be helpful for web development projects.

Visit the Excel Software web site and see the Videos page for demonstration videos.

Another addition to the coding section is Eclipse. It can be used for Java development natively, but there is a bunch of different plugins that can be used with it as well.

…most notably, PDT (PHP Development Tools) and [URL=“http://www.aptana.org/”]Aptana

[vassilevsky]

Just wanted to say that I recently switched to NetBeans IDE. It’s way better than Eclipse in speed, stability, and PHP syntax support.

I agreed with “thrwat1000” dotproject would be nice in project management. I have couple of experience like this. Why don’t you use it?

[system]

[wprockers]

[seosellerbd]

Aptana studio is good for code

For testing, Forecheck for in-depth content and URL analysis, Xenu for URLs as well on a much smaller scale. Forecheck and Xenu can be used for sites offline as well as online of course.
If you are doing testing for sites already online, the tools mentioned along with SEOMetrics, Moz, and Ahrefs (for backlinks) are extremely useful as well. At any rate, you should definitely use link analysis tools during the later stages of development before publishing a site. All the tools I mentioned have free versions available.
