5 (Free) Tools and programs that no Web developer should do without

Here is a bucket list of 5 important tools that (I believe) every web developer should have (in no particular order):

#1: Notepad ++

This is a great (free and open source) code editor with syntax highlighting. the only thing I've found it's lacking is some CSS3 highlighting.

#2: Resize My Photos

600 photos to re-size?!!? Oh no!! Re-size my photos has you covered with bulk image re-sizing! No problems here, it works smoothly and flawlessly.

#3: Firebug for Firefox

Need to debug a CSS problem?  Don't know which element is being affected? Use firebug for all your html and css troubleshooting needs. You probably already have this module, but I thought I'd throw it in there.

#4: Zementa

What's there to say? whether blogging or creating we content Zementa is a free tool that helps keep your content relevant. just watch out for Zementa logos that seem to appear; they can be erased, but can get annoying.

#5: Nitro Reader 3

Need to read or convert a PDF file? Try Nitro Reader 3, it has a cleaner viewer/printer than Adobie and it's UI is a lot like that of Microsoft office 2010.

This all comes from 4 years of web development experience, I use all of these everyday at work and they couldn't be much easier to use!
