- 3S Web Tools v2.5. Web Developer's Joy. — The website development is a strange thing. Unlike other programming and near-programming activities, webdev requires much more of good taste, common sense, and wish to «do well» rather than strong programming skills. And even when some (or more) of programming IS required, such tasks are rather routine and only require time and accuracy, not «fantasia». So, whenever somebody or something can relieve you from such kind…
- InterBase/Firebird Development Studio 5.1.3. Database Designer. — There is an amazing integrated suite for working with Interbase and Firebird, obviously named InterBase/Firebird Development Studio.

- AscToHTM, Web Designers, Take a Rest! — What options do we normally have when it comes to posting a document online? Not much, really: a plain-text editor with the knowledge of HTML (a good bargain but with a bit of headache for the bonus), WYSIWYG HTML editor (a less achy solution that pulls cash out of our pocket) or… How about using a converter for that? Suppose, you have a plain-text file laid out in a certain format. You could just load…

OK, but here are many problems, like changing CDs or managing your music collection. If there are many guests, who should manage the music? What if some guests don’t know how to use a computer? Or, even worse, they know how to use the computer (and start playing some Need for Speed game…
- Mihov Index Maker 1.50, ToC For The Web — The task which sounds simple to be described: to make a list of files from some folders. Simple? Yep. But let’s think a bit more. Why do we need this list? Typical answer: we want to make this list accessible as a single file, or through the web, or through the intranet. If so, is just a text file with filenames enough? Typically, it isn’t. What we really want…
- Image to PDF Command Line Tool, Just Type-In the Assignment — What does it take to convert an image from one format to another? — Just open the source in a converter application and then save it in the format you need. That simple! Or is it really? For a handful of pictures, it’s a great approach indeed. But what are you going to do with dozens, hundreds or even thousands of images that are to be converted… to PDF? Not many…
- Watermarking – protect your images on the web with a few mouse clicks — If you upload many images to the web or actively trade on Ebay, you are probably quite concerned with protecting your content from unauthorized use and distribution. After all, some of your images, if used in an inappropriate context, may compromise you or create an awkward situation that will be hard to deal with afterwards.
