"A plethora of cool open source tools is available out there, but not all of them are up to the mark. So today we have a list of 9 Must Have Open Source Apps For Web Developers. Check this list out and pick the ones that suit your needs the best."

Lazarus is a free and open source development tool for the Free Pascal compiler, which is also free and open source. The Lazarus IDE is a stable and feature rich programming environment for creating standalone graphical and console applications. Lazarus currently runs on Linux, Mac OS X and Win32 and provides a customizable source editor and visual form creation environment along with a package manager, debugger and complete GUI integration with the Free Pascal compiler.

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions. Initially developed to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing also has evolved into a tool for generating finished professional work. Today, there are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning, prototyping, and production. » Free to download and open source » Interactive programs using 2D, 3D or PDF output » OpenGL integration for accelerated 3D » For GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows » Projects run online or as double-clickable applications » Over 100 libraries extend the software into sound, video, computer vision, and more... » Well documented, with many books available

The open source hardware platform Arduino has been the central platform of my electronics class since the beginning of 2008 and I've learned a lot in that time. I use the Arduino to teach some basic programming and introductory electronics concepts. This course led me to create a website (http://electronics.flosscience.com/) to help support my students as well as others who might want to use this platform in education. Now I'm ready for the next step.

Youtify is now Open Source, Available on GitHub! Upon popular request, the source code for Youtify is now open for anyone to play around with, build upon and contribute to.

Open Turing is an open source fork of Object Oriented Turing 4.1.2 for Windows. It is up to 50% faster, includes new features like 3D support, and is constantly being improved.

"Handset makers and wireless carriers love to load up Google's Android platform with custom overlays, user interface tweaks, and third-party programs that don't ship natively with the open source operating system. That's great for them, but most power users would prefer a clean version of Android to work with, which is why the third-party ROM community is popular. Well, following in the footsteps of Samsung and it's custom S4 that was announced at Google I/O, HTC is reportedly kicking around the idea of offering a Google Edition of its One smartphone. News of the custom HTC One comes from Russell Holly over at Geek.com. Citing un-named sources, Holly says the Google Edition device would be offered in the U.S. first, though it's unclear if it would be carried in the Play Store like the Galaxy S4 will be. Other details are equally light and vague, though Holly claims an official announcement could come within the next two weeks, with a release likely planned for sometime this summer."

Komodo Edit is a fast, smart, free and open-source code editor. Switching your trusty code editor is hard, but give Komodo Edit (or its big brother Komodo IDE) a try: it'll be worth your while.

Google has officially opened registration for this year's Summer of Code. Started in 2005, the program offers paid internships for students who want to code open-source projects.

So you've got a great idea for a fantastic new application or product but you don't have a budget for software. Sure, you can go the open source route and there are many fine tools available for developers without license fees. But if you happen to be targeting Windows or you are new to development and need that entry bar lowered right to the floor, then here's how to get free or nearly free developer software directly from Microsoft.

Windows may boast the lion's share of the desktop education market, but the economic and technical benefits of open source software has seen many schools and education institutions implement various flavours of Linux across their desktops and server back-ends.

inSSIDer is an award-winning free Wi-Fi network scanner for Windows Vista and Windows XP. Because NetStumbler doesn't work well with Vista and 64-bit XP, we built an open-source Wi-Fi network scanner designed for the current generation of Windows operating systems. inSSIDer was discussed by Lifehacker and Tekzilla!

Mozilla is improving the security of its open source Firefox Web browser this week with the help of a feature that originally debuted last year in Microsoft's rival Internet Explorer browser.

Object-oriented and dynamic, Python encourages rapid, iterative, and almost exploratory development. But good Python development starts with a good Python IDE. In this roundup, I examine nine Python development environments, many open source, but some commercial. They are Boa Constructor, Eric, ActiveState's Komodo, Oracle's NetBeans, Aptana's Pydev, PyScripter, SPE, Spyder, and WingWare's Wing IDE.

These books deal with Computer programming: the process of writing, testing, debugging/troubleshooting, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. A program's source code is written in a programming language.

Google Code-in, Google's contest to introduce pre-university students (age 13-18) to the many kinds of contributions that make open source software development possible, concluded on January 10, 2011. We had 361 students from 48 countries complete over 2,000 tasks during the 7 week contest.

All of the visuals in the above video were created using NyArtoolkit for Processing. NyARToolkit is an augmented reality toolkit built with 100% pure Java. It is derived from ARToolkit-2.72.1. Like Processing itself it's open source and free! In this tutorial you will learn how to use it to place computer generated imagery correctly onto real world footage. To do this in real-time NyArtoolkit uses markers - black and white images - to determine the three-dimensional position and orientation in the real world. Most likely you will have seen something like this before, but now you will learn how to do it yourself using freely available software.

PhoneGap is an open source development framework for building cross-platform mobile apps. Build apps in HTML and JavaScript and still take advantage of core features in iPhone/iTouch, iPad, Google Android, Palm, Symbian and Blackberry SDKs
