I’m a web designer, and one of the things I specialize in is Flash. I’ve often had customers ask for a similar type of Flash piece for their website (ie, a small slide show), so I keep a directory of oft-requested pieces that I can just pull up and modify quickly. Great post!

As usual fine information!
Since starting out on my own developing Industrial Automation software I’ve forced myself to adhere to the version control that I set out. Its paid dividends already as I needed to go back a build on my current project.

I use scribes, the “textmate for gnome”, and it rocks. For anything database-needs-to-show-results kinda stuff, I use Django. And this is not only website related stuff.

If you’re on linux, take care to learn something about cron, anacron, and bash scripting. I’ve made up a whole backup solution just with those three. There’s a major benefit about the fact that every thing’s a file, and everything has a command line interface somewhere. There’s just nothing to match it under windows.

It’s good to work with framework, I use php eclipse, with aptana, but I find that if you don’t know the core, the shell, then you are missing the basis. I use sdf.freeshell.org for my geek shell time and it has prove more that valuable to know my way around the dark side of the shell

Thanks for the article !

Tarique is right, I personally use as Matthew CodeIgniter with Aptana and my own CSS framework and save me a lot of time on my projects, but when I am coding only XHTML prefer Intype, is just coding on steroids.
