Easy Thumbnails (freeware, 1.1 MB)
Create thumbnail images quickly and easily! Almost all the thumbnails on this site have been created with Easy Thumbnails. The program is handy when resizing bigger images as well.

A free image editor with a relatively wide range of advanced features. Probably not too easy to a newbie, but I'd say it's worth learning.

WWW Gif Animator (shareware, 291 kB)
Quite a good program for making animated GIF images.

CutePDF Writer (freeware)
A program for printing any file into PDF format. It will be visible as a printer in your system. Requires GhostScript or another corresponding software to work.

OpenOffice.org
A fairly good Office pack. Even though it cannot beat MS Office in most areas, OpenOffice is worth trying if you don't want to pay for your software. OpenOffice contains most of the functions that MS Office has.

A simple tool for creating, splitting, joining, encrypting and decrypting PDF files.

PDF-XChange Viewer (free)

A C++ IDE.

Eclipse (open source, 170 MB)
An open source software development platform. Mostly targeted for Java, but it is possible to use other languages too, such as C++ and PHP. Eclipse has a huge amount of extension packages and utilities.

NetBeans IDE (open source)
An IDE with a wide support for different technologies. NetBeans is mostly Java oriented, but other languages, such as C++ and PHP, are supported. Web applications, web pages and traditional single machine programs are created equally easily. You can also design with UML and generate code based on the diagrams or create diagrams by reverse engineering a program. From web page point of view, built-in FTP functions are very handy.

Advanced text editor which recognizes dozens of different programming and markup languages. HTML, PHP, C++, C#, XML, Ada, Perl...

Google Chrome
A light and free web browser by Google.

FileZilla (freeware)
Quite a good and free FTP program. FileZilla has more features than WS_FTP.

Mozilla Firefox
Quite a popular web browser with advanced features. Offers lots of plugins. Newest Firefox versions are not so light as the first ones.

Mozilla Thunderbird
The email client I use. Supports also RSS feeds and newsgroups.

Opera
In my opinion, the best browser. There are lots of features that make it very good to use. There are also lots of plugins. Opera is also considered a safe browser.

WS_FTP LE v. 5.08 (691 kB)
FTP program for transfering files between your computer and servers. Probably not the best, but I used it for years.
