Free or Low-Cost Web Development Tools

by Brenda J. Christie

Five handy web development tools which are either free or low-cost appeared in a recent article in TechRepublic.  Read it here.

The article mentions

  1. NotePad++, which I've used for editing pages containing HTML, Php and MySQL;
  2. HTML-Kit, similar to NotePad++ but comes a long with a Preview mode instead of going the http://localhost route, which can be cumbersome;
  3. Funduc Search and Replace;  Performs search and replacements across multiple files;
  4. Offline Explorer for downloading web sites for offline viewing and editing; and
  5. HTML Converter.


All except Funduc and Offline Explorer are free.  However, there is a free 30-day trial of Offline Explorer and a shareware version of Funduc Search and Replace.


Check back soon for an in-depth comparison and elaboration of each.
