What's your favorite tool(piece of software) you use everytime you code?

[mrchow19910319]

I am doing web development and here are some of the apps I use daily: 

 

1. Codekit for browsersync and such

2. VS Code for IDE

3. Google Chrome , duh

4. Typora for markdown editor

 

 

What do you use when you code ? (doesn't matter what kind of language you are using) 

What IDE fits your coding style while providing useful features to you don't get in the way ? 

 

Share your apps/tools collections here!

VS Code as it's very lightweight, while at the same time powerful.

[Peskanova]

well I use VS for ide but what I use allways , despite language is notepad ++ .

[jj9987]

JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA for Java, GoLand for Golang.

Visual Studio Code for most other projects (TypeScript, C++).

Sublime Text 3 for whatever else text editing (including MD).

Docker for running my code in local environment.

99% of the time i code libs so i never have interface to deal with. So not so hardcore.

[Mira Yurizaki]

A decent text editor. Preferably one that displays line numbers and does syntax highlighting.

 

Everything else is "it depends on the target."

[TopHatProductions115]

I tend to use NetBeans...

[TacoSenpai]

Notepad jk...

 

IntelliJ for Java

I prefer Firefox for Web Dev stuff (and just in general)

VS Community for C#

Don't know if it counts but SharePoint Designer in the day job for those few things I need to do in it.

[trag1c]

Visual studio 2017 and a plethora of my own tools.

Yes Sharepoint do count. You can manage lots of thing through C# with it and even server side. You can do wicked things with it when you can control the server. One example is i am trying to implement a voice recognition through the whole network that can take commands and forward through other users on the network. Then server services can get the commands that are not directed to another user on the network and create a custom document based of the spec the user gave in the command and then share it over the intranet.

 

Sharepoint seems wonderful. Goldnotes could do the same a decade ago.

Wow that sounds pretty enticing.  I've been on the web dev and admin side of SharePoint its how I got my foot in the door with IT.  While its restrictive in some ways I am impressed with what it can do and how well C# works with it (which makes sense).

I tried with the 2010 version but i have seen a small dev talk on the 2016 not long ago and it revitalised the will to give it a go again. It also integrate with things like Jira, WCF, Exchange, Skype and Yammer. Probably more but those were the 5 that got me interested.

Yeah it integrates with those as well as all office products and especially office 365 which is important for smaller organizations.  They retired InfoPath 2013 but they are supporting it to 2020 which can be used to create some wicked forms and workflows.  There's also a crap ton of third party web parts and modules that enable various things on the user end.

Oh let's see...

-VirtualBox running whatever Linux distro I'm feeling when setting up

- VS Code for most things

- IntelliJ for Java

- VIM for everything else (.config files, shell scripts)

- tmux

- docker

- postman, or insomnia

- Chrome and Firefox, and whatever websocket extension I can find for Chrome

- git (of course!)

- some handful of atlasian tools

There are. I actually don't use too many extensions for it as I haven't found to many things that bug me with it. Most of my tool chain is for my hobbyist game engine and related developments. Currently I am developing a SCM that uses windows junctions so that my server can hold all of my data without me having to have anything but links to the files on my hard drive. I don't know if I'll ever use it but it's something I've wanted to try for a while.

Sublime (best text editor)

you know sublime just pushed out a git client called sublime merge.

their pricing scheme is that the light theme version is free, if you wanna use the dark theme one, you gotta pay.

I like the GitKraken client. It's slow, but really easy to use and really beautiful.

might check it out later. getting more and more used to git.
