EFT is a must have for players both new and old! Guide to using EFT
EVEmon	Windows	Skill Planner	EVEMon was created to help players with the daunting task of skill planning. Players are able to load their character information using API keys to keep track of their current skill sheet and training times. You can then develop a plan for future training and it will help optimize the plan by suggesting skills or attribute remapping to reduce the time needed. As a bonus, you can view ship loadouts from BattleClinic.com and build a skill plan to get you into that fit based on your character's skills. This tool is extremely useful and can even save the ship loadouts from BattleClinic to import into EFT. Guide to using EVEMon

On the site, they feature plug-ins already created to help develop your character, view item stats, and even plan routes on star maps. If you prefer to create your own, they have a development forum and page where you can download the source code. Although it is not as popular as EFT or EVEMon, it is definitely a great alternative for people who prefer an all-in-one package or wish to develop and customize their own programs.
