Useful Tools & Resources
ShareLaTeX - A complete online LaTeX environment that allows you to edit, compile, and view LaTeX documents (complete with supporting files such as figures and BibTeX databases) through a web browser. Also allows real-time collaboration on LaTeX documents.
Sciencesoft LaTeX Flash Application - A web-based flash applet that allows you to enter real LaTeX code and compile it to a PDF remotely on their server. Good if you need to typeset something on a computer without a LaTeX distribution installed. I also find this a quick an easy way to create vector LaTeX equations for inclusion in figures drawn in Adobe illustrator.
LaTeX Word Counter - A web-based and downloadable tool for counting the number of words in a LaTeX document. The downloadable version can also count words in the bibliography.
LaTeX Font Catalog - Find a new font to spice-up your LaTeX document. I am a particular fan of \usepackage{fouriernc}, which puts a nice, dense chunk of black on the page.
DiffChecker - A web-based tool that looks for differences in two plain text documents. Useful for checking two LaTeX source files to automatically find the differences.
Mendeley - A database system for tracking academic papers and exporting them for bibliographic citation.
