Development Tools

Text Editors / Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

⬆ Back to top

Atom

What I like about atom is its IDE-like experience and it also has a lot of nice plugins that I really think is essential for an efficient development workflow. This is my preffered Text Editor as well.

Pros:

• Packages
• Has an interface for installing packages and themes, etc
• Almost like an IDE
• Has built-in GIT integration

Cons:

• Slow to boot
• Unresponsive bug

Recommended Packages

• Remote FTP
• Markdown Previewer Plus
• docblockr
• jquery-snippets

Cons:

• Installing packages is such a hassle

Recommended Packages:

Git / Git Bash

Git is required for other Git clients to work. But most of the time, their installer comes with git for supporting the application itself. Git Bash is an interface for a Unix-like terminal. You can also use git commands on git bash as well. View Website
