A carpenter is only as good as his tools, or so the saying
goes. However, this phrase doesn't apply to the woodworking trade only. The
same has also been used for mechanics as “a poor mechanic blames his tools” and
this time round, I would like to use it for designers as well. And what this phrase
simply means is that if one really cares about their work, then they ought to
invest in their tools.
Before going into app development, it is important for
designers to get all the necessary tools together to avoid wasting time and
money on improper technology. One of the cheapest and most effective tools that
one can invest in before thinking of all the available software out there is a
quality notebook!
