More Free Dev Apps
Last week we listed some open source programs to assist you in your  web design activities. This week, we’ve added a few more to the list. The programs are all free of charge and range from simple apps to full-featured ones and will definitely help you on your way to a better graphic design education.

And as they say in fancy restaurants…enjoy!

Filezilla

If you are looking for an easy to use cross-platform FTP, FTPS, and SFTP client, Filezilla is a good choice. It is open sourced and free of charge. Filezilla has IPv6 support, a tabbed UI, drag and drop support, directory comparison, HTTP/1.1, SOCKSS, and FTP-Proxy support, and more.

Bluefish

Do you want a powerful, fast web development editor to write code and scripts without it being a resource hog? Try Bluefish on for size. This editor will use about 30% to 45% less memory than other comparable programs, has a what you see is what you need interface, HTML toolbar and tearable menus, multiple language interface support, lots of handy wizards, and many other features.
.
Jedit

The developers of this app state that “Jedit is a mature programmer’s text editor…” If mature means lots of features, then this is the text editor you want. Among other things, Jedit sports a wide assortment of plugins, is written in Java for cross-platform support, has syntax highlighting for over 130 languages, word wrap, unlimited undo/redo, keyboard shortcuts, macro support, and the kitchen sink. (Well, no kitchen sink, but it’s pretty close to it.)
.
Dia

Here’s an app that helps you to put together quick and dirty flowcharts, diagrams, network diagrams, and other charts to help you layout your next website, network, or steps to cook your Ramen noodles so they won’t be too soggy or undercooked…if that’s what you really want to do. It isn’t Visio, but it’s free.

Happy Holidays
Have a restful and happy Thanksgiving. We’ll see you next week!
