Only a few passed the test of time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/binarynights.com\/\">Forklift<\/a> &#8211; (paid) I forgot why I stopped using FileZilla.

But once set up, it&#8217;s not bad.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtual Box is still used occasionally, but tools like BrowserStack is enough and IE not being used (finally) helps too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dropbox is still worthy to use, but Google Drive is much easier to use.  Although it&#8217;s not in the list because I don&#8217;t  use it much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">October 25, 2013<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>This week I had to temporarily work on a new laptop so I had to set up my dev environment from scratch. \u00a0Of course, I wanted the same tools and apps I had on my permanent environment. \u00a0I find that these tools and apps stick with you for some time so below is a list of apps that I needed to install on my new development environment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/db.tt\/DAYdk2km\">Dropbox<\/a> &#8211; to easily share files between computers both locally and over the web.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/filezilla-project.org\">FileZilla<\/a> &#8211; to upload files to the servers<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mamp.info\/en\/index.html\">MAMP<\/a> &#8211; to test your code locally before uploading to the live servers\n<ul>\n<li>See <a href=\"http:\/\/mymonkeydo.com\/mamp-optimizations\/\">MAMP Optimizations<\/a> to start MAMP on startup without the GUI.<\/li>\n<li>Remember to set the &lt;Directory&gt; override to\u00a0<strong>AllowOverride All<\/strong> if you want your\u00a0WordPress or other sites to use .htaccess.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sourcetreeapp.com\">SourceTree<\/a> &#8211; to push\/pull your code so it stays in synch with other environments you may have or other teammates.\n<ul>\n<li>Set\u00a0up your SSH keys using BitBucket&#8217;s\u00a0tutorial.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sublimetext.com\">Sublime Text 2<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0&#8211; to edit your files.\n<ul>\n<li>If you want to open files via the terminal, follow this <a href=\"http:\/\/ashleynolan.co.uk\/blog\/launching-sublime-from-the-terminal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">updated tutorial<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\">WordPress<\/a> &#8211; not so much a tool, but it is part of the testing environment.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/slack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Slack<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hipchat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HipChat<\/a> -or whatever trending chat program. \u00a0to communicate to others<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/virtualbox.org\/wiki\/Downloads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Virtual Box<\/a> &#8211; To run those pesky versions of Internet Explorer.\n<ul>\n<li>Then head on to get free <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.windows.com\/en-us\/microsoft-edge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">VMs from Microsoft<\/a> so you can get all the lovely versions of IE.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/imageoptim.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ImageOptim<\/a> &#8211; To optimize images, taking up less disk space and load faster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3,5,7],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
