Fresh install essentials

Published by Jonathan Adjei on

I’m still using windows for my primary development environment, although the bulk of the software I use is open source and/or free. I thought I’d share/store a rundown of some of the apps I install on a fresh windows build.

I’m very happy with this set of free apps, and can confidently recommend you try any of them.
