+Otherwise, you'll see a 403 error.

+
+Software
+
+Writing
+
+⟡ LaTeX (https://www.latex-project.org/) - Economists write in LaTeX because it handles mathematics and references better than Word or LibreOffice. If you write regularly, LaTeX is worth learning.
+  - Beamer (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/beamer?lang=en) - A LaTeX class for presentations.
+  - TikZ (http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/) - An extension for drawing graphs. A how-to (http://cremeronline.com/LaTeX/minimaltikz.pdf) and a manual (http://www.texample.net/media/pgf/builds/pgfmanualCVS2012-11-04.pdf).
+⟡ LyX (http://www.lyx.org/) - A free and simple editor for LaTeX.
+⟡ Zotero (https://www.zotero.org/) - Bibliography management. Also install (a) Zotero browser plugin to import papers from RePEc to your library; (b) Zotero-LyX plugin to cite literature easily.
+⟡ Git (https://git-scm.com/downloads) - A version control system. Useful if you want to revert changes done months ago or collaborate with other authors. DropBox also has version control, but Git is more explicit. A short intro 
+(http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/). Or use GitHub Desktop (https://desktop.github.com/) if you like it simple.
+⟡ Mendeley (https://www.mendeley.com) - Bibliography management. Support synchronization on multiple plateforms: Mac, Windows, Ipad, Phone...
+
+Computing
+
+⟡ Stata (http://www.stata.com/) - An industry standard for statistical computations in economics. Free alternatives:
+  - IPython (http://ipython.org/) - A Python-based environment. Econometric analysis is done with free packages: statsmodels, SciPy, NumPy, pandas.
+  - RStudio (https://www.rstudio.com/) - An R-based environment. R is the standard language among statisticians, so the R repositories often contain specialized libraries not available in other languages.
+⟡ Matlab (http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/) - An industry standard for modeling and numerical optimization in economics. Free alternatives:
+  - Octave (https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/)
+  - Julia (https://julialang.org/) - High-level dynamic programming language designed to address the needs of high-performance numerical analysis and computational science.
+⟡ Mathematica (https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/) - Symbolic computations. Free alternative
+  - Sage (http://www.sagemath.org/)
+⟡ Julia (https://julialang.org/) - An open source scientific computing softerware.
+
+Sharing
+
+⟡ GitHub (https://github.com/) - A repository for code and data. Publishing research here is not a common practice, but it's more convenient that alternatives (university home page, DropBox, etc.).
+  - GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) - Simple static websites.
+  - GitHub LFS (https://git-lfs.github.com/) - Large file storage.
+⟡ IPython Notebooks (http://ipython.org/) - An interactive alternative to LaTeX and Word. See examples how notebooks look like in data-science-ipython-notebooks (https://github.com/donnemartin/data-science-ipython-notebooks) and the gallery 
+(https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/A-gallery-of-interesting-IPython-Notebooks).
