I'm curious what tools were used by the different groups this semester in developing the projects and mini projects.
The tools we used for MyFavoritePlaces were:
WinSCP: Freeware SCP/FTP program for connecting to webserver and transferring files.
PSPad: Freeware text editor. This supports syntax highlighting and makes code editing much easier than using notepad. This also integrates with WinSCP so you can click to "edit" in WinSCP, edit in PSPad, and then save the file back to the server without switching between various windows that may be open.
MySQL Query Administrator: Free from the makers of MySQL. Used for creating/managing MySQL databases, tables and data.
Firefox with Firebug Plugin: This combination made troubleshooting logic errors in code and CSS a breeze. (It's still a pain to troubleshoot crossbrowser problems though)
Let us know what tools you used and what you thought of them.
Thanks!
