ETM Show #26: 6 Tech Tool Categories We Use For This Show

Emerging Tech Mastery (ETM)

For this episode, we pull back the curtain on concrete tech tool categories we use to make this ETM show and website happen.

Most of these tools have free versions and almost all are open source. Part of our thinking when creating ETM was showcase all the powerful (free and open-source) tools at our fingertips.

The best part of all is that your projects, ideas and endeavors don't have to cost a lot of money. (Especially if you're just doing a proof of concept or something small scale.)
