Web sites hand crafted
in the South East of
England

Tools

Coding

PHP - Open Source programming language to rival ASP, but it's free and not made by MS.
Ruby on Rails - Amazing application framework for Ruby, allowing rapid program development.
Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby - Absolutely the best programming book ever. It's fun.

Database

MySQL - Excellent Open Source database program. Perfect for running web-sites.

Editor

Quanta Plus - A powerful web design tool from the Linux KDE developers.

Version Tracking

Subversion - Excellent code versioning utility for Linux and Windows. It's no longer a problem when a client wants to go back to something they had before.
Tortoise SVN - Very good GUI for Subversion on Windows (no longer used since we moved to Linux).

Web Servers

Apache HTTP Server - A very good program for serving out your web pages. Used for developing and testing our sites.
Abyss Web Server - Great web server if your running Windows and want something simpler than Apache.

Internet Browsers

Opera - Our favorite browser, doesn't have any of the display bugs of IE6, it's fast and the built in e-mail client is excellent. Great on Linux or Windows.
Mozilla Firefox - If you don't get on with Opera try this.
Netscape - Uses Mozilla's display engine, but adds a load of extra stuff.
Microsoft Internet Explorer - Hopefully version 7 will get rid of all the display bugs that infuriate web developers.
