<h2><a href="http://www.gevent.org/">Gevent</a></h2>
<p>Gevent is a fast, coroutine-based networking library for Python.
Gevent is used in network applications, including servers that scale
up to tens thousands of connections but without the complexity usually
associated with event-driven architecture.</p>
<p>Gevent provides light-weight “green” threads with a similar
interface as the standard “threading” and
“multiprocessing” packages. The library includes a DNS
resolver, a WSGI server, a monkey patching utility to make 3rd party
protocol implementations cooperative and support for SSL sockets.</p>
<h2><a href="http://www.git-scm.org/">Git</a></h2>
<p>Git is a free and open source distributed version control system
designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with
speed and efficiency.</p>
<p>Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and
full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access
or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do.</p>
<p>Git is used for version control of files, much like tools such as
Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and Visual SourceSafe.</p>
<h2><a href="http://www.inkscape.org/">Inkscape</a></h2>
<p>Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities
similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the
open-standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Inkscape's
main goal is to create a powerful and convenient drawing tool fully
compliant with XML, SVG, and CSS standards.</p>
<p>In contrast to raster (bitmap) graphics editors such as Photoshop or
Gimp, Inkscape stores its graphics in a vector format. Vector graphics
is a resolution-independent description of the actual shapes and
objects that you see in the image. This description is then used to
determine how to plot each line and curve at any resolution or zoom
level.</p>
<h2><a href="http://www.jquery.com">jQuery</a></h2>
