As Web developers, most of us love to stay connected to the Web. Now with the help of Android apps, developers can ply their craft on any mobile Android device. FTP, SSH, MySQL, code editors, plus much more are all at your fingertips. And while many of us wouldn't choose to use these tools throughout the whole workday, it's nice to know that they are there at the ready should you need to spring into action to save the proverbial day.

These apps are either altogether free or inexpensive and can save your skin should you find yourself cut off from a computer.

Hacker's Keyboard

This tool shows up on many mobile developer tool lists because many of the apps here work better with a traditional keyboard layout. For tasks like writing code, working with shell scripts or other command line tools, it's a big time saver and a must-have for the developer on the go.

ConnectBot SSH Client

Much like Putty for Windows, ConnectBot is a free open source app that allows users to connect to any Linux machine running an SSH client. This is a must-have for Linux administrators. Users can transfer files remotely and create remote telnet sessions. Pico and Vi to your heart's content.

AndFTP

WebMaster's HTML Editor

This handy little HTML editor will make a great addition to your developer toolbox. It supports HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.

VT View Source

Ever need to see the code behind that Web page you're working on? Of course you do. Desktop browsers all have “view source” baked in, but what about when you are on your tablet or smartphone?
