I need a couple recommendations for software. I need
-A text editor good for editing HTML
-A ZIP opener
-GUI web editor similar to Dreamweaver
-A video editor
-Calculator (preferably graphing)
Also, how do you use jPortable and what is a bootable USB drive?
I recommend Notepad++ for raw HTML editing. And customize the theme to something you like using the Style Configurator. I have mine on Bespin at the moment with DejaVu Sans Mono.
For zip, 7-Zip always works well. And it's pretty lightweight, even if the UI isn't so pretty. The portable package auto-switches between 32-bit and 64-bit. If you want a prettier UI, you can use PeaZip. It also auto-switches and uses 7-Zip underneath.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Notepad++ has a Style Configurator? I never knew that! Thanks!
The two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.
It does. Picking a font you like for coding makes things much easier. You can carry them around portably within the PortableApps.com Platform which makes them available for Notepad++ Portable.
