Uptime Robot

Uptime Robot

If you have a website, you need to know whether it's up or not. Sounds simple, doesn't it? Unfortunately, unless you have an IT staff (or are the IT staff), it's likely that you don't have any system in place to make sure your webhost is actually delivering on their promised 99.9% uptime. Website monitors have a simple but necessary job, to make sure that websites are up and reachable 24/7. If there is a problem, you will be notified immediately via SMS or email. Additionally, you may want to check your uptime statistics to evaluate webhost providers (or to argue about a bill).

Uptime Robot monitors up to 50 websites every five minutes and alerts you via email, SMS, Twitter or RSS if there are any problems. Most other monitoring services limit you to one site or only check every half-hour or hour. Very, very useful.

Kodingen

Okay, what the hell is a "Web Application Framework Environment"? It's a server configured to run Joomla and/or Drupal and/or, PHPmyAdmin and/or Wordpress, etc. The boys at Kodingen have a treat for Web Developers and Designers that need a playground to build and test out their new sites or web apps without having to deal with the hassle of running a development server.

PHP Designer

Extremely powerful, extremely customizable.

It includes syntax schemes for practically everything: PHP, HTML, XHTML, CSS, Perl, C#, JavaScript, VB, Java and SQL (Ingres, Interbase, MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase and Standard SQL).

You can debug your scripts with the PHP interpreter. A PHP manual is built-in, and it includes all the standard coding goodies like parameter hints, auto indent, auto close brackets, etc.

It also has a built-in project manager, file manager, and ftp client.

I'm very, very happy with this product.

HTML Editor - WYSIWYG

Nvu

Nvu is the best free WYSIWYG HTML editor ever created.

It got its start from the Mozilla Composer codebase. The original plan for the World Wide Web was for it to be used much more interactively, and early browsers such as Netscape had HTML editors built-in. Netscape morphed into Mozilla, and the full Mozilla suite still has an integrated HTML editor.

PSPad

PSPad is a text / code editor. You might not need it if you use Nvu, but I believe you should have it anyway, even if you use any other site development application. It's perfect for making last minute changes or rapid touch-up of HTML code.

Many, many developers use it exclusively for developing web sites. It is not WYSIWYG (some developers hate WYSIWYG), but it does have a HTML page preview option. It even has a web server built-in for checking your web applications without uploading them to the server.

HTML-Kit

DHE Editor 1.8

Not quite as intuitive as Nvu or as clean as PSPad, HTML-Kit's main claim to fame is it's large body of pre-built plug-ins that allow you to insert such things as scraps of PHP/MySQL code or to create slide shows. These can be enormous time-savers. It has a large and loyal user base to help you along the way.
