These are the tools & utilities that I use nowdays (2019)
https://ninite.com is a site that allows visitors to create custom one-click-install bundles of applications without any spyware. Before manually downloading any software I visit it and get a custom bundle.
Development Tools & Frameworks
-
Visual Studio Code : Free text editor / almost-IDE that supports multiple programming languages, debuging, integrated git and custom extensions. In my opinion it lays almost on the perfect spot between simple text editor and full-blown IDEs.
-
.net core & asn.net core : Free, modern, cross platform framework that follows most good practices and offers an intuitive way to build web apps, CLI utilities and windows desktop applications (with version 3.0) - It’s my first option for every new, large project.
-
node.js : Another free, modern, cross platform framework. I use it mainly for smaller projects, deployment utilities and building & bundling web apps.
-
npm : The default package manager of node.js. I use npm both for it’s intended purpose and for having a common way to invoke scrips in my applications (using npm run script name)
-
SQL Server Express : The free version of Microsoft’s SQL Server, usually it’s installed in my most development PCs - I tend to prefer it over the LocalDB which is another solid option for developing on SQL Server platform.
-
Vue : The Vue ecosystem (vue, vuex, vue-router) allow for developing modern single page applications.
-
Parcel : For building and bundling web sites and web apps…
Utilities
-
git : Source code versioning - looks like it’s the default
-
github desktop : Github desktop client
-
7z : My default compress/uncompress utility
-
Paint.Net : A decent image editor
