Developing software is not as cheap as it looks...
You need a computer, the operation system, the developers tool, and some add ons...
Sometimes you use some add on to make your live easier.
This can cost you a lot of money. In this case I am going to use (at least for now) Windows based system. Well, I have the computer... And the operation system (Windows XP)... But I need all the other stuff.
The problem is that the developing tools are usually very expansive.
But I also believe that if you want to use something, you should pay for it. I do not enjoy it, but if they require that, you should pay...
Fortunately there is something called FreeWare and OpenSource (they are not the same...)!
The tools I am going to use are free. They requirer that I pay nothing!
So, for starting, here is my list:
