Creating a Linux VirtualBox Using Vagrant
Downloads VirtualBox
Vagrant
I’m a big Windows user, like a lot of people. However, for developing, hosting web servers, etc. open source free software tends to be Unix based. One way to solve this is by running Linux virtual machines locally on Windows.
Now, VirtualBox allows this to be done, but there are manual steps to getting various Operating Systems up and running, so time is wasted and it can lack consistency.
Visual Studio Code, Notepad++, Atom Coding Editors
Editor Home Pages VS Code
NotePad++
Atom
My personal use over years has gone: Atom -> Notepad++ -> VS Code. I am not a developer by trade and simply need editors for writing scripts mostly to hack things together. Obviously, fully integrated IDEs for specific languages and platforms are WAY more powerful, and allow developers to work much more efficiently. In reality, in my situation, all three editors are more alike, than different.
