Beginning SharePoint? 2013 Development 3rd chapter -- other tools developed by Sharepoint 2013 Developer Tools

This topic describes many core tools available for SP development. Of course, in addition to these mainstream tools, you may also encounter some good tools-some of which may be exclusive to your organization. Two tools that are rarely known are helpful in some situations: expression blend-for design, especially when you build Silverlight-based applications; fiddler-for debugging.

Use expression blend to develop vs. Spd and NAPA are your core SP Developer Tools, so you won't see many expressions blend explanations as mentioned above. However, at least understanding expression blend is important because it provides a great suite of applications with Web pages, design, and coding functions.
