Everyone has his own list. There used to be a site called musthave.com,
but it seems to have gone away. Here is a partial list that I have
gathered over the years. It is NOT complete. I have tried to include the
source URL. You may not need some of these right away, butyou will
probably need most sooner or later. If anyone can tell me about other
candidates for this list, please do!
