DELPHI AREA Forum

As a developer we don't use only a compiler and sometimes we may need some other tools to perform our tasks.

It is nice to introduce the good tools we use to each other. I'm sure it improves our knowledge and productivity.

XVI32 is the hex editor that I use. It's small, powerful, freeware, and powered by Delphi.

Here is its page:

What is your popular download site? How much urls in your favorites folder?
My favorites here


And some links from my archive:
http://rapidshared.org/
http://www.rapidreactor.net/

hmm, RapidReactor does not store any files. Just indexes other sites contents! But easy find what you want which not available for Google

TortoiseSVN is an open source sub version control as a Windows shell extension. It's very easy to use.

I have less than 10 bookmarks in my favorites, which are mostly news sites. A Google search is much quicker than finding a favorite in the list of favorites.

Tha best of tha best:

• RapidSVN - Nicest SV management of all.
• SciTE - Best notepad for all it's worth
• Meld - Best diff and merge tool there is!
• Code::Blocs - Cool IDE
• GIMP - Best raster graphic editor
• Inkscape - Vector graphic editor

There are many more, but those I use very often.

• [url=http://www.nch.com.au/notes/index.html]Express Notes
  [/url] - easy notes. simply 1000 txt files in subfolders . You don't need push save buton after editing your note. Saved automatically.
• Clear Edit - Code Highlighting notepad replacement
• DelForExp - DelForExp, a freeware Pascal source code formatter for Delphi

and

for tabbed component palette or more

For debugging HTTP sessions, Fiddler is the best (freeware) stuff that I can introduce you.

1. Total Commander (the legend continues
2. ACDSee Clasic (v.2.43 of year 2000 - incredibly fast image viewer ONLY)
3. TextPad
4. HyperSnap (capturer)
5. Printer's Apprentice (font management)

These are my favorite firefox extensions:

• Firebug
• Web Developer

I think firefox and these extensions are essential tools for every developer.

thanks for pointing at these (i am an IE guy mainly due to Netscape 4.7 but Firefox has been evolved in a quite a mature player)
