If you regularly develop for a specific platform, why not do so by creating a container image that includes all of the tools you need to make the process quick and easy. Not only are they incredibly easy to deploy, they make for great development environments.

Let’s face it, in this day and age you need to be working with containers. Just remember, for most categories, there are several available options. But instead of saying you should use Tool X and Tool Y, I’m going to narrow it down to five categories and then offer up an example for each. To make that easier, I thought I’d help narrow down the selection a bit for you. Fortunately, there are a ton of dev tools available for Linux so many, in fact, that it can be a bit intimidating to figure out precisely what you need (especially if you’re coming from another platform). Because of this, more and more developers will be hopping on board the open source and Linux dev train in the immediate, near, and far-off future. That means Linux development is also happening at an exponential rate. With Linux, technology is expanding and evolving faster than anyone could have imagined. Linux has become a mainstay for many sectors of work, play, and personal life.
