18-like weapon in the developer's Mac computer

The ancients often with knives, guns, Swords, Ji, axe, Yue, shovel, fork, whip, Mace, Hammer, GE, Tang, sticks, lance, rods, spears, palladium 18 kinds of weapons, everything proficient, to describe a person's military study skills get state. In the world of developers, proficiency in a variety of auxiliary tools, can achieve a multiplier effect, quickly improve efficiency. Gossip is no more, come and see what it is.

Dojo

There is always a place for practicing martial arts, so it is easy to gather people who have always been interested in learning, and it can help to spread the information, concentrate the energies, cultivate the skills, exchange the experience and compete with each other. The use of tools is also in a specific development environment in order to play a better effect.

My development Environment (DOJO) is a Mac Pro from Apple Inc. (2014), which is configured as follows:

MacBook Pro (Retina display, 15-inch, 2014-year)

Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory up to GB (MHz) DDR3

Graphics card Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

Operating system OS X EI Capitan

The tools described here are run in this hardware and software environment, after more than 2 years of development experience/experience of the verification, so share to everyone.

If a friend's research and development environment and described here is not quite consistent, then only for reference it, specific combination of their own situation.

For easy retrieval, the tool classification is added.

What is the first step in development? Learning documents? Draw a flowchart? or write the code directly? Well, let's start with the learning document.

Document view

Dash

When writing code, are there some APIs that can't be remembered, such as which class to use for ellipse drawing? What is the function for calculating the squared open? How to connect remote MySQL server to retrieve data? What do you usually do at this time? Ask the mother? Ask Google? See the online programming documentation directly?

Ask Google in the country need FQ, then related to the use of another tool. View online documentation, what if I can't remember the entry URL? In a collection, what if the entrance changes? Still need to ask the search engine Ah! So the question comes, degree Niang stickers small ads to do? With Dash, an app collects almost all of the world's programming language documents, and it's fast to update.

Text Editor

not limited to code editing, a good editor will make your editing work a lot more enjoyable.

Macvim

Why did I not recommend the popular first sublime? Because, I have been using Vi/vim for more than 10 years. Originally in school, Vm/emacs two selected one, I chose the more easy to practice VI, since then used to view/compile text/code.

Software homepage and: http://macvim-dev.github.io/macvim/

Macdown

General code viewing and editing with VI is enough, the rest of the documentation, well, most of the articles/documents are now written in the markdown syntax, so a markdown editor is enough. For example, the writing of this article, I use the Macdown editor, the article syntax using markdown syntax. Since is Markdown editor, then someone will mention with MoU, the author also tried for a period of time, encountered some problems, such as grammar support and interface display, and later switched to Macdown, feel that all aspects of support is good, so has been used.

Sublime Text

It's hard to be familiar with Vi/emacs if you're not working on Linux all the way down the road. Then, a third-party editor like note++ or UltraEdit would be a good choice for you. Compared to the cumbersome IDE in an integrated development environment, running slow and consuming memory, choosing a lightweight editor is a good choice when it's often unusual to view/edit code/documents more frequently than normal. So, where have all the users who used the third-party editor gone? That should be the sublime text.

Picture Editor

Write the article code, in addition to the text processing, but also need to have a beautiful map embellishment and foil. More often, graphs are an important means of attracting traffic and eyeballs.
