What tools are in your programming stack?

Question

What are your go to text editors, IDE's and testing environments for your work and why?

Answer 1

I'll kick this off.

I use RubyMine on a free student account for text editing rails apps, it's a very good IDE for RoR.

I publish to heroku hobby for free hosting, I find the heroku tool belt is very easy to use and manage multiple apps.

I use bitbucket for version control, following the advise of Michael Hartl and his rails books (which are a great kick-start to ruby and web development in general).

I prefer the Mozilla Firefox developer tools and console when testing rails apps on a local server.

That about covers it, cheers.

Answer 2

When I use Python, I use IDLE for smaller projects and JetBrains PyCharm for larger ones.

For Java programming, I use NetBeans, especially when I start large, GUI-based Java programs. I usually use FXML and JavaFX Scene Builder when I make those.

For C programming, I sometimes use Code::Blocks with MinGW, and on other occasions I like to use Notepad++ and compile my programs with Cygwin's GCC.

Finally, whenever I get finished with a big project and want to save the results, I use GitHub.
