I’m working with varied technology stacks these days and figured it was a good time to throw a few questions and tool suggestions out to the community. First, the tools list.

IDEs & respective plugins/addons
Some of the Main Bits I’m Using These Days
- Silverlight 3 SDK
- Silverlight 3 Toolkit
- .NET Facebook Toolkit (including for MVC, Facebook Developer Toolkit Starter & more)
- ActionScript Facebook API, Wiki for ActionScript & Facebook,
- Adobe AIR
- Adobe Flash
That is about it. I am amazed, looking at this list, how minimal it has become even with the increase in technology stacks I’ve been working with.
I’d have to add Firebug to my personal tool list. For troubleshooting JS and inspecting HTML/CSS, it’s top notch. I’d hate to have to do much web development without it.
Oh yeah. I actually use that too, totally forgot to throw the additional browser tools in the list. Will have to update and do a final post for my current tools in the near future.
My toolchest is pretty sad, for these latest projects it’s been:
Flash cs4
Notepad
🙂
Still finding the best stuff to use, need to get my hands on Coda, etc for working on my mac.
I am interested in css styling and page / element positioning at the moment and got drawn by the posting, " Alright Tool Chest Checkup Time " , in Bing. The problems of utilising css styles to get a satisfactory visual design in all the leading web browsers, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome seems a great headache that takes me numerous hours to overcome. Absorbing to read your views and the comments in your web site on the subject. I find the tutorial websites are strict and cover the same items, dialog in blogs often references effective methods to overcome problems or the best ways to set about contemporary design. Thank you for the note.
