Not sure if this breaks any rules, so if it does ,please forgive .
Looking on this forum ,note that often software is mentioned, but very little info on where to get it ( especially the freely available stuff, not the dodgy download sites,but genuine ones) .

May I start the list off with two of my favourites-

http://www.download.com .

Some really useful software, and really helpful for a novice into electronics.

Converts Resistor & Inductor colour codes, calculates LED series resistors, capacitance units, series / parallel resistors & capacitors, frequency, reactance & more.

Electronics Assistant 4.1, and it's FREE

Here's a link to some software I bought a couple of months ago and have found quite useful. It has over 85 decoder/calculators in it. Everything from tube(valve) stuff to surface mount calculations.

One of the best parts is that you only pay for it once and you can install it in as many computers as you want. Just send him the number each install generates, and he sends you another key free.

For the record, I'm just a happy user and have no financial interest in this software.

Cheers for now, Bob
