Every once in a while I step over a new cool tool ... some other times I find a more efficient way of working with technology. Most of the times I think "MAN, I can't believe how much time I wasted without that one".
I am wondering if other people have similar experiences? What are your "best practices" and/or tools you could not imagine working without?
Here are some of mine:
- having a tool which can pick the RGB-Code of any color directly from the screen (I am working with "smart color pick'n capture"). Much better than importing/exporting pictures and find the color code with a picture editing software
- having a local apache server with php/sql installed on my windows machine ... (if you work with windows)
- knowing that you can export almost ANY table from almost ANY website into excel with a right-click on the table (you have to temporary switch to IE before doing it ;-)
- Having a tool which can capture screenshots of any size from your screen. I am using ScreenPrint32. Pretty neat.
- If your work with Windows - Replacing that basic txt-Editor with a better one (I have JGSoft's Editpad). Ideally one which shows the html-tags, since you do so much directly in the html-code anyways.
I hope someone else has best practices and/or ideas, too; so that we can all learn a little today.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Benni
