I’m new to the Web design, blog business but not new to many of these tools. It’s great to see that I can still use many of the tools I’m used to in this new direction I’m headed. Thanks so much for such an outstanding list.

Great list!

I have been using Basecamp for project management and ExpressionEngine for a CMS. Cyberduck and Espresso have been a great combo for ftp and code editing.

I’m using MAMP (not Pro) and editing vhosts by hand, saves the money.

Seems like you use a lot of the same software as I do- good stuff! I just wanted to note two things. 1) I am trying out Action Method myself, it seems like a pretty solid resource, and 2) I have a list of “best” Mac OS X Software. I have used everything on this list, but I would highly reccomend Things.app (as mentioned in a previous comment) or The Hit List.app.

Here is my list: blog.jeremybuff.com/best-mac-os-x-leopard-software/

Maybe you’ll find something interesting :)

Awesome list! I use most of these tools as well. I also use Transmit for FTP, TextMate for coding (I use it with Transmit a lot to tweak Wordpress stylesheets online – cool feature!), I use the Freshbooks dashboard widget, CSSEdit. I also use Screenflow for video tutorials, InstantShot for web tutorials and client documentation, SharedSecrets (for saving all my passwords and login details for all these online apps), and EasyTask for managing client projects (it’s simple, not perfect for the job but it’s good enough so far – open to suggestions though).

I’m checking out LaunchBar now. Quicksilver sounds like a great idea, but I’ve just not been able to get into it. I’ll also check out LittleSnapper, it sounds like it might be really useful to me for web tutorials and Wordpress theme development.

Adobe Creative Suite is essential, other than that I don’t use any of these tools.

I use: wamp (since I’m on windoes), Notepad ++, Google Apps, iGoogle with remember the milk in, SlimTimer and Zoho for a CRM.

For invoicing we use a Norwegian software (Mamut) – it’s very good, allthough a bit expensive…
