Software

Delphi
In my opinion the best language/compiler created. Okay so everyone thinks that their favourite language is the best but delphi does offer a good IDE, fast compiler, good language (which has progressed a long way from standard pascal) and a VCL (component library) which covers most of the components needed for everyday programming.

HelpScribble
An excellent shareware help editor. Helpscribble displays the topics in your help file in view similar to windows explorer (but unfortunately just as a list - not as a tree) with the right hand pane showing the current topic. You can easily create links and edit window styles, contents lists and anything else associated with help files.

Zoom Search Engine
This useful piece of software powers the search engine used on this site. A windows utility scans your website and builds the index. You then upload the database and a script to your site to do the searching. There's even a free version available for smaller sites.

Sites

Torry's Delphi Pages.
An excellent source of delphi components and tools.

Euro-Share.
Euro-Share is an email discussion list for shareware programmers and anyone asociated with the shareware industry. If you have any interest in creating shareware then it's an invaluable resource. The website also contains some useful information.
