The Ultimate Coldfusion Tools List

Posted by Neil – September 27, 2007

I am looking to create a list of all the tools* that we, Coldfusion developers, find indispensable in our day to day lives for whatever tasks we need to do.

I am aiming to create a list of tools, that we can all read, and find additional tools that we did not originally know about. I will try to group these tools into some sort of order, and also try to specify links and an idea as to OS compatability etc.

However, to kick start it, I would like some suggestions. So, what tools do you find indispensable in your day to day working lives?

* can include code based tools such as frameworks etc.

    CFEclipse (of course)
    AutoHotKey
    BeyondCompare
    Notepad++
    Subversion
    Ant
    Firefox (and extensions – probably another list?)
    Selenium
    and I’ll add a computer (AND monitor) to Dale’s keyboard so you have something to type on :)
