One of the hassles of using a Windows computer has to defrag your computer on a regular basis. Of course you can always set up a schedule to make that pain staking task happen when you’re asleep, but what we need is a faster but still effective disk defragment application that would not only speed up the process, but explain the errors it had found in a way that almost everyone could understand.

Brackets 

Today we are going to take a look into a cool little program that makes programming in html a little bit easier. We are going to be looking at the program “Brackets”. This application was coded in Java to make programming for the web a bit easier. Automatically closing tags when you open them allows for a steady paced session.

Typing Web Typing Tutor

While writing a script or some code, I find myself typing slower and slower each time. I usually have to glance down at the keyboard to make sure my fingers are on the right keys just so I don’t make any errors. After a while I started to feel like I needed to get some more practice with typing. I was recommended an application called “Typing Web” which was a free to use typing tutor. What this application is supposed to do is help the user to type quickly and more efficiently so that productivity can be increased. To achieve this, it uses the high school method of teaching. Makes you look at the screen and cover your keyboard and start typing. Sounds simple enough. Of course you could always look down and cheat, but that’s where you have to learn self-control and not do that.
