Tools I Use In My Workflow

Everyone working with web development, design or programming in general need great tools that will perform in the way they want, expect and is used to, I've compiled a small list of tools i use on a daily basis, and i think fits the requirements for a web developer that works on multiple sites, on multiple computers!

Notepad++

As my primary HTML/CSS/PHP editor i use Notepad++, because it is simply the best lightweight text editor out there! It has syntax highlighting for a plethora of different languages, most important to me being: HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript.

It helps me perform basic editing, although I would like to see some of the functionality found in .. say Sublime Text 2 in which the ZenCoding plugin comes to mind. But I've not needed those features.. yet. actually it does have that functionality, it's just a plugin.

I might move to Sublime Text 2 in the future, but as of now, I'm sticking to Notepad++

DropBox

I work on my website from many different computers, and to do that without having to download all the files from my FTP server each time I change location, I have all my websites synced with Dropbox. This way I can keep all my files up to date on different machines, I've even got access to all my files on my Galaxy Note 2, and then an idea springs to mind; with the huge amounts of apps available and the Galaxy Note 2 Smart Dock, which allows to connect your Note 2 into a dock, and have 2 USB ports and an HDMI lead connected to your phone, into a TV/Monitor.  I could potentionally work on my websites from anywhere!

FileZilla

To upload the changes I've done i usually use Filezilla, it's a very capable FTP client, which is Free and open source. There is not really much to say about it other than... it works as advertised.

Which programs do you use for your workflow?
