Introducing Walter Code Medium
Dear reader,
Our education is the only thing that we can keep at all times. We, at Walter Code, have accepted this as a fact, and have developed to fit that thought into our work. That’s why you’re reading this article. We are living in a time where the industry is fast-evolving, trends are quickly changing and the need for constant increase in knowledge is a necessity and not a luxury.
Our goal with this Medium is to provide a platform to make access to new, and relevant information and tips from the IT industry, easier.
And we’ll start with:
10 useful tools for programmers, designers, and other IT professionals to use, for free!
We have a lot of IT people on our team, so we came up with a list of free tools that might help them on their next project! Whether you’re a graphic designer looking for inspiration, or a programmer stuck on a line of code, these free tools might be helpful. So, let’s jump right in!
