Don’t miss this interview with Nick Bradbury. Nick is a software developer who has great influence over the future of the web and weblogs by providing tools such as FeedDemon, TopStyle Pro and Homesite.

At Robert Scoble’s weblog I read that Nick uses a product/tool called Delphi to develop his software. That’s just another example of how each professional selects the tools that are right for their work. Artists pick water, oil, acrylic or other tools. Writers pick text or word processing software that suits them. Weblog writers pick from a variety of tools. Programmers are no different. From Java to Flash to .NET to Delphi and beyond, tools abound.

There’s a future book out there somewhere that describes how professionals from all walks of life selected and grew comfortable with the tools they use every day.
