I have a problem with the tools I use for SharePoint development. Since most (all?) of my SharePoint development happens in a virtualized environment, I often have trouble remembering all of the little utilities and features that I use to make the dev process easier. When I switch between VMs, I end up searching for the same utilities over and over again — and that’s assuming I can remember which ones I’ve used (not always a safe assumption!).
So I decided to keep a list of the tools I use routinely so that I can reference them for existing VMs and not forget anything when building out new ones. Hopefully it’s also helpful to others who are new to SharePoint development and wondering what utilities work best.
What dev tools do you use? What have I missed?
