Aside from the basic software that we all use to do what we do, I thought I would list some other helpful software/web apps that help me in my workflow. I won’t go over editors and such, cause there are a billion and we all have our preferences (NetBeans and Dreamweaver for me!), nor will I go over the graphic programs (Photoshop, Fireworks, Illustrator…). I’m talking about the other, OTHER applications we use from day to day to help us along.
EVERNOTE
Let’s start with my favorite, Evernote. If you haven’t read my very early posts where I mentioned this bit of awesome, I suggest you download it, which you can do here. Think of Evernote as a place to put all the crap that you want to remember, but can’t. Your brain has limited space, you can’t be expected to know all this stuff. Which is why the gods made Evernote. You create categories, create however many notes you want, tag the notes to make searching easy (I have one for jQuery and CSS so I can find that when I need it), paste links into it. One giant organized scrap book of knowledge.
Its what I use for all my code snippets and links to cool stuff, and how to do things I don’t have the memory for. The best part is, besides being free, after you create an account, you can access your Evernote notebook ANYWHERE. You can add stuff to it on your machine at work, you can go home, sync the account, and access it there. Your info is with you wherever you go. Download it. You won’t be sorry. Out of everything I use to do my job, THIS is one of the most important pieces.
