As a standard set of development tools, I always include Winzip, NAV, a binary editor (UltraEdit), a screen capture utility (html2jpg), a graphics package (Fireworks or Photoshop), a flowcharting tool (Visio works fine), a standard office suite, a link checker (Linkbot), an FTP program (FTP Voyager), if I am lucky, a UNIX shell (MKS), pdf tools (Acrobat, Ghostscript). Java compiler and editor (to avoid a religious war, I won;t recommend one :). Lately an XML editor (XML Spy).
On top of that, any code you can buy or steal will do you well. As for specifically CF stuff: I've got the SiteObjects HTML editor and love it. The iMS system looks great (although we rolled our own, here). PDF conversion tools can always find a use. Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/04/02 12:21PM >>> Hi, everyone. My manager has asked me to put together a list of potential software purchases for the next year. I am a rather new ColdFusion developer, so I don't really know much in terms of CF-related software. So far, I have only come up with Visual SourceSafe and some sort of HTMLEditing CF tag. Are there other pieces of software that I should evaluate? Anything that you all find indispensable, that aids in coding, etc.?
