What is considered a tool in computer science?
In computer science, a tool can be anything that helps
programmers and software engineers develop programs, websites, or apps. Eclipse,
for example, is a tool because it lets the users create programs in it using
Java. Even programming languages are considered as tools.
In this semester, I discovered Adobe InDesign and Adobe
Dreamweaver. I used InDesign to create a QR code for my LinkedIn profile.
Before I learned how to create a QR code using InDesign, I thought it was going
to be hard to create, but it turned to be fairly simple to create a QR code
using InDesign. I learned to use Dreamweaver when I was working on a project
with my team. Even though we only used Dreamweaver a few times, it is still a
very good tool because it allows a person that has no HTML/CSS knowledge to be
able to design and create a website.
There are a few tools that are my favorite: Eclipse and
Notepad++. My least favorite tool is Microsoft Visual Studio.

In present time, tools are changing at a rapid pace; every
year a new version of a software is being released. These changes are important
because it improves user-friendliness and fixes bugs.
I can agree with you there Fan! I'm an Eclipse user as well. I think it's way better than NetBeans and definitely better than BlueJ. It's good to see that you're exploring some of the countless programming tools that there is to offer. I have used some of the ones you listed. Some could be better but some just blow your mind away. Nice blog!
