Anyone involved in a software development project is in varying and yet permanent contact with lots of diverse tools. For almost every concrete task, there are several tools that either support you in or completely take care of getting your work done. While some of these tools are simply outstanding, others are either hard to use, or plain useless. Last but not least, quite a few tools have a tendency to be used in a wrong way, or for the wrong task.

Thorsten provides a comprehensive overview of the tools in a web developer’s everyday life. These tools range from concepting, to project management, to development, but also things like time tracking, communication, and cultivating a knowledge base play an important role. While it is great to know what tools to use, Thorsten also shares some insight into when and how to use them right.
