What's New

Stay Updated (Free) 31 January 2012
  • If you are looking for a way so that you can more efficiently work with multiple folder windows open on your computer, check out the latest addition to the Free File Managers and Graphical Shells page. These file managers usually provide a multi-tabbed dual pane window that let you easily work with files in 2 (or more) folders (such as to copy files between those folders, rename multiple files in one go, etc).
26 January 2012 25 January 2012
  • A new BASIC compiler for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux has been added to the Free BASIC Compilers and Interpreters page. You often hear it said that learning computer programming is harder these days because of the complexity of today's systems. Whether or not you agree with this, the new BASIC compiler allows you to take advantage of the simplicity of the old days to learn to program while at the same time giving you the scope to use modern computer technologies like multimedia and the Internet in your program. It does this by emulating the QuickBasic and QBasic of the DOS years, and adding modern programming facilities to the mix.

  • Are you thinking of starting your own website? If so, a new free (and open source) web editor has been added to the Free HTML Editors and WYSIWYG Web Editors page. This one is written by the author of the well-known Nvu web editor (now defunct), and works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. If you have been waiting for a modern, updated free web editor, check this out.

  • What happens if your computer gets infected with a virus that your usual antivirus program cannot clean? Or if you're asked by your friend to clean his/her badly infected system? You may want to try the bootable recovery CD from Microsoft that is now listed on the Free Antivirus Rescue CDs and DVDs page. And yes, it's free, as are the other recovery solutions listed on that page.

  • Write your own text adventure game, role playing game (RPG), "choose your own adventure" game or the like, with the newest development system added to the Free Games Development Kits and Programming Libraries page. The language is similar to the C/C++ family of languages, but includes numerous convenience features designed specifically to make it easy for you to develop interactive fiction. You can also use multimedia (graphics, animation, sound effects, music) in your game. This game development kit has been used to develop numerous commercial games over the years.

This free software, from Microsoft, comes complete with lesson plans. You don't even need to be a parent or teacher to use this. Why not create a game or two during the New Year holiday season?

  • Do you want to create or edit a PDF file? For example, you may want to do this if you're thinking of taking advantage of the digital revolution and publishing your own ebook.

  • The source code for the famous Doom 3 game from id Software is now listed on the Free Games Programming Libraries, Free Game Engines and Source Code. It's there for the benefit of the programmers who want to learn how big game developers do things, and tinker with the code. Personally, I think it's easier to just write your own game using one of the game engines (also listed on that same page). I mean, even the famous game engines like Unreal can be obtained for free from that page, so you can already use cutting edge stuff without the headache of deciphering other people's code.
22 November 2011
  • A new instant messaging (IM) computer program, that allows you to communicate "live" with others on the Internet, has been added to the Free Instant Messaging (IM) Software page. This program supports a wide range of popular protocols, including AIM, Facebook, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, IRC, ICQ, etc, so you can simply use one program to chat with others even if they are using different software.

  • Are you thinking of starting a website where your users or visitors can freely add or modify pages just like the pages on Wikipedia? The newest entry on the Free and Open Source PHP Wiki Scripts page lets you do just that. The program doesn't even require you to have a MySQL database. Wiki-based sites are useful when you want (or need) your visitors to help you do the work of updating your website.
10 November 2011
  • A new easy-to-use software that can emulate a CD, DVD and Blu-Ray drive has been added to the Free DVD/CD Emulators, Free Virtual CD/DVD Drives page. In layman's language, such emulators are just computer programs that pretends to be an actual CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive. It can load ISO files as though they are real CDs, DVDs or Blu-Ray discs, so that you can play them on your computer or run programs from them. This new free software can also create ISO files from real CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray disks, freeing you from the need to keep a particular disk in your drive all the time.
7 November 2011 1 November 2011
  • The latest addition to the Free Educational Programming Languages - Teach Kids Programming page is an integrated development environment that teaches a subset of the Java programming language in a friendly way. If you're looking for a way to teach children, teenagers, or even yourself, a programming language, this is a good way to start since it's not only easy to learn, but you also get to learn a language that can be used for real world programming tasks.
27 October 2011
  • A new software library has been added to the Free Graphics Libraries and Source Code page. If you are writing a graphical application, and don't want to reinvent the wheel, this one lets you write an application that runs on multiple platforms like Windows, Mac OS X, MacOS Classic, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and even game consoles like PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo GameCube/Wii.
