Tools I use for web development
Update: This post is out of date, I am now working on a Mac for work, new post here.
So I currently do all my web development work on a windows machine. Both at home and at work.
Here are the tools and apps I use on a day to day basis.
Visual Studio Code - Hands down the best text editor available. There are monthly updates with a huge amount of new features. There is a huge library of extensions with new ones all the time. I’ll be writing a posts on setting up VS Code with extensions and some tips soon.
Cmder - Terminal for Windows.
Trello - I use Trello as a massive to-do list, including notes etc for any projects I’m working on.
Evernote - Longer notes storage, draft blog posts.
Hugo - I use Hugo as my blog engine. It’s super quick and easy to use, and it uses Markdown which is great.
Tools at work
Visual Studio - We do mostly .NET at work and Visual Studio is easily the best IDE I’ve ever used.
Resharper - A great refactoring tool.
SourceTree - Git GUI tool. Great for interacting with large code bases with lots of collaborators.
