Developer Environment setup#

At this point in time, I'm struggling to decide upon a stable development environment, as I have both a WIndows 10 laptop and Apple MacBook.

Local servers#

live-server - this is the best local development server. Has watch functionality & expedites development#

http-server - runs 2nd#

The editors I'm mucking about with at the moment are, and will change over time:

  • Visual Studio - Insiders
  • Sublime Text - best and fastest editor, licenced for 1 copy

  • Atom - I've got this loaded on both machines, though not doing anything just yet

  • JetBrains WebStorm - bought this a while ago prior to the onset of the first 2 editors, both of which I think are near superior (certianly cost $0.00, agains the JetBrains licence). I'll probably can this once the renewal comes in.

  • JetBrains RubyMine - using this so that i can get to function definitions at press of button when battling RoR code. It's superior in functionality when it comes to that.
  • Parallels for Mac - run windows on Mac (allows me to travel O/S with Mac)
