Reinstallation Complete! Let's code on!!

My software, data etc re-installation on my laptop is now sufficiently complete.
STEP 1: Install the Omnipresent Java (i.e JDK) and two IDEs Eclipse and NetBeans.
I ran into issues with the JDK, Eclipse Galileo and PATH Environment variable here's another post on what I had to struggle with.
Step 2: Add some new age uber powerful simplistic language - Ruby On Rails (Primarily Ruby. I'm still learning it.)
I installed Ruby On Rails Bundle from this Rails Installer, Link. This bundle contains a Ruby Installer, Rails Installer and a Ruby Gems Package Manager (Which handles Ruby Libraries), as well as Git. I've been tinkering with Ruby these last few months but, have not worked something substantial - I'm still in the beginner learning phase.
Step 3: And, then there was the wise old owl, C.
Installed a no questions asked hassle free C compiler - TCC from here. Tiny C Compiler is by far the smallest compiler and its compilations/builds are also comparatively small. [Reference Link].
Step 4: Add some cool sounding and fancy tools.
Installed a set of Editors to make me gloat in pride...Vim and Notepad++. But, still uses Notepad (Force of habit).
Step 5: Install the Essentials of Human Computer Interaction worthy applications.
Then I went on to install the little subtle essentials: Skype, Firefox and VLC Player.
Step 6: Finally, the Bells, Whistles and Eye Candy: [Details linked.]
  • CCleaner
  • Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Software
  • Pandora Recovery
  • Free Alarm Clock
  • Stardock's Logon Studio
  • Stardock's Fences
Step 7: Rest in the after glow of achievement and plan your next code projects........doing what is meant to be done.
