Tools

As a Computer Scientist, I write code everyday and edit images often. So care about my file integrity and security. SmartBackup is tool I encountered very useful for backup my contents it is a  alternative backup application for Mac OS X. The most basic tools for my everyday use are source code editor and a compiler or interpreter, which are used ubiquitously and continuously by me on daily basis.

Some of the tools that I became very familiar with in this semester are follows : 

1. GitHub - is a web-based hosting service for software development projects
2. Burndown Chart -  is a graphical representation of work left to do versus time
3. PhoneGap -  It enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3.
4. Compress PDF - tool to merge and compress multiple PDF files by just uploading

My personal favorite is “Pages” is a word processor and a page layout application developed by Apple Inc. It is part of the iWork productivity suite and runs on the OS X and iOS operating systems. It is easy-to-use application that allows me to quickly create documents at easy. Many advanced features that were available in Pages like including mail merge, bookmarks, text box linking, advanced find/replace, alternating left-right margins etc. Pages is both a word processor and a page layout application.

Software development tool are application that software developers used for creating, debugging, maintaing. It will also support for other programs and applications. In other words it simply refers to relatively programs, that can be combined together to accomplish a task. The ability to use a different tools on daily basis  is one hallmark of a skilled software engineers.
