SharePoint Developers–What’s On Your Machine?

  • Articolo

I recently got a question from a customer about utilities to include on their development machines.  My view is that you should trust your developers and let them install the tools they need.  However, some devs don’t have managers who trust their developers to do the right thing and they need to request tools in advance.  Which got me thinking… what’s on your machine?  What do you consider essential for developing software?  I challenged myself to go through my machine and recall all of the various utilities, add-ons, programs, scripts, etc that I use regularly and listed them below.  There are a lot, and I am sure I am missing a few!  I am always on the lookout for new tools and utilities that will make development easier, so… what’s on your machine?
