<Title>John Rennie Short, Public Policy, in The Atlantic Cities</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">In advance of last Saturday’s announcement that Tokyo will host the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, public policy professor John Rennie Short offered a fresh take on how to make the games more sustainable: keep them in the same place. Short suggested to writer Nate Berg, in an article for The Atlantic Cities, that instead of asking cities to invest billions of dollars in new Olympic venues the OIC should create a single site that would function more or less as an international city-state, overseen by the United Nations, to host the Olympics and its training in perpetuity. “There would be maybe …</div>

<Title>What Are You Using? &#8211; Nettuts+ Authors Edition</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">

    <ol>
    <li>What’s your primary development focus?</li>
    <li>What hardware are you using for development?</li>
    <li>Which editor or IDE do you use?</li>
    <li>What software can you not live without on a daily basis?</li>
    </ol>
    <p>The article generated a lot of interest and discussion about the tools the community is using which was really great! We love to motivate discussions with our topics. Well, this also motivated us to ask the question, "Why don't we post about what we, the Nettuts+ authors use every day?"</p>
    <p>So we did just that. We chose ten Nettuts+ authors and asked them the same four questions. And like before, you’ll find the answers they gave below and hopefully discover some tools that could make your development much easier.</p>

    <p><strong>Bio:</strong> I had my first contact with computers in the mid-80s when I visited my father at work. That was an important moment for what I am doing now. I am a proud member of an agile team working for a company called Syneto. Through my carrier, I programmed in several languages and I had the chance to learn and use daily all the major Agile techniques from Scrum to Lean and from TDD to DDD. Since August 2012, I am sharing my knowledge with the Nettuts+ readers by articles, tutorials and premium courses, all about programming.</p>

    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What’s your primary development focus?</h4></div>
    <p>I am mainly a back-end programmer and mostly program in <a href="http://php.net/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">PHP</a> but I continuously try new languages. I am most focused on general software design and architecture. The programming language I use is just a tool to achieve that.</p>
    <hr>
    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What hardware are you using for development?</h4></div>
    <p>Well, at work we have Mac Minis but I am not a fan of Apple. So, at home I have an HP desktop with 27" Samsung monitor running my favorite Linux distribution, <a href="http://www.sabayon.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Sabayon</a>.</p>

    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> Which editor or IDE do you use?</h4></div>
    <p><a href="https://netbeans.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">NetBeans</a>, definitely. Even though it has its limits, I find it the best IDE when it comes to multiple languages. Its Java part is just superb and from all the free IDEs it has the best PHP support.</p>
    <hr>
    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What software can you not live without on a daily basis?</h4></div>
    <p>I spend a lot of my time in the web browser and email client; <a href="http://www.opera.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Opera</a>. It would be hard to live without it. And of course NetBeans.</p>

    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What’s your primary development focus?</h4></div>
    <p>I'm usually working with PHP, JavaScript(<a href="http://nodejs.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">NodeJS</a>), HTML/CSS and sometimes <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/flex.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Flex</a>/AS3. In some of the projects I'm a front-end developer, in some others I'm the back-end guy. Generally I'm interested in making the things in the right way. I love KIS (keep it simple) and DRY (don't repeat yourself) principles and I'm trying to follow them all the time. Very often I develop tools which help other programmers work faster and efficiently. When I don't code, I normally blog, which is kinda a passion of mine.</p>

    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What hardware are you using for development?</h4></div>
    <p>I have <a href="http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/vostro-3560/fs" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Dell Vostro 3560</a> connected to an external monitor Dell 23".

Most of the time I'm switching between three windows – Sublime Text 2, Chrome and <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb978526.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">PowerShell</a> (+ posh-git installed). A couple of years when I worked mainly on Flash-based project, I used FlashDevelop. Even for PHP or JavaScript it was a good choice.</p>
    <hr>
    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What software can you not live without on a daily basis?</h4></div>
    <p>That's my favorite browser – <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Google Chrome</a>. It's not just a program for visiting the web. It's actually a great tool for development and even for design.</p>

    <p>I am a Front-end consultant in the financial services sector of New York. Most of the apps I develop/maintain are trading apps, visualizations, portfolio management tools, etc. These apps run on a mixture of desktop, mobile and web platforms. For desktop I've mostly use <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/net" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">.NET</a>/<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/hh341490.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">C#</a>/<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms754130.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">WPF</a>. On the web its been a combination of the standard JS technologies/frameworks with Node.js, Java or <a href="http://rubyonrails.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Rails</a> backends. On the mobile side, its primarily iOS. I like to learn new things all the time and always looking out for exciting ways to bend the mind! The part that I like the most about being a consultant is the opportunity to explore new platforms, technologies, languages which I would never venture into voluntarily.</p>

    <span>Q</span> What’s your primary development focus?</h4></div>
    <p>I'm a full stack web developer working with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_%28software_bundle%29" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">LAMP</a> stack. Apart for PHP for the server side, I use JavaScript with <a href="http://jquery.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">jQuery</a> for the client side, and a lot of HTML5 and CSS. Besides, I reuse my web knowledge to build mobile apps with the help of frameworks like <a href="http://jquerymobile.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">jQuery Mobile</a> and <a href="http://cordova.apache.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Cordova</a> (PhoneGap).

    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What hardware are you using for development?</h4></div>
    <p>A PC with an i3 processor with 4Gb of RAM plus a 24'' monitor. While I deploy on Linux, both my PC and 13'' notebook run Windows 7.</p>
    <hr>
    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> Which editor or IDE do you use?</h4></div>
    <p>It depends on the projects I'm working on or the code I have to write in the moment I sit in front of the desk. For small changes I usually just open the file using <a href="http://notepad-plus-plus.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Notepad++</a>. As an IDE, I used to develop with NetBeans but some months ago I tried <a href="http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">PHPStorm</a> and from that moment, I felt in love. It's really a complete, stable, and useful IDE.</p>
    <hr>
    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What software can you not live without on a daily basis?</h4></div>
    <p>Based on what I said so far, it should be clear that I cannot live without browsers. My favorite one is Chrome, but for work reasons that you may easily guess, my PCs have all the major browsers installed. In addition, I must mention <a href="http://getcomposer.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Composer</a>, Git, <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireftp/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">FireFTP</a>, <a href="http://www.poedit.net/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Poedit</a>, Google, <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">StackOverflow</a>, and Twitter . Oh…and YouTube and Spotify! Who the hell can code without music?</p>

    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What’s your primary development focus?</h4></div>
    <p>These days, I spend the majority of my time with C# and .NET for both desktop and web applications. I got into this industry as a client-side developer, and I’m continually trying to fit more client-side work into my daily work flow. JavaScript is my first love, after all.</p>
    <hr>
    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What hardware are you using for development?</h4></div>
    <p>There are three computers I use for development, all of which run <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Windows 8 Pro</a>. For development on-the-go, I use a <a href="http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-14-l421x/pd" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Dell XPS 14 Ultrabook</a> with 8GB of RAM, and it will soon sport a SSD. My workstation at the office is an Ivy Bridge-based Xeon with 32GB RAM and dual nVidia Quatro cards for powering four displays. For development (and other things) at home, I built a Haswell-based computer: i7-4770 CPU, 32GB RAM, two Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSDs, a ton of conventional storage, nVidia 660 GTX, and three Dell U2410 displays.</p>
    <hr>
    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> Which editor or IDE do you use?</h4></div>
    <p>I primarily use Visual Studio Professional 2008 and 2012 with Resharper and NCrunch for web and desktop development. I also use WebMatrix if I need to quickly prototype something, and Sublime Text and Notepad2 get notable usage when I don’t need Visual Studio.</p>
    <hr>
    <div><h4>

Visual Studio is a top-notch development environment, but the Resharper and NCrunch plug-ins make it the absolute best environment on the planet. I also need <a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/workstation/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">VMWare Workstation</a>.

    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What hardware are you using for development?</h4></div>
    <p>At work, I use a MBP 15" with a 23" secondary screen. Before I started working at my current job, I used to be a Windows fanatic. I've always hated how OSX had different conventions than Windows. I decided to give it a fighting chance when I started work at Bright, and I couldn't be happier that I did. At home, I have a triple 27" monitor set up, connected to a small mATX PC. The PC has a quad-core i5, 8GBs of RAM, and 7TBs of hard disk space all packaged in a Lian-li V350B.  For work on the go, I have a 11" MBA that I bring around with me almost all the time since it's so light you barely even notice it's there. Additionally, I use my trusty <a href="http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-keyboard-k350" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Logitech K350 Keyboard</a> and <a href="http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/marathon-mouse-m705" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Logitech M705 Marathon Mouse</a> (for both my work setup and home setup).</p>

    <div><h4>

    <p>Like many, I mainly use Sublime Text for my everyday coding. It's fast, reliable and extensible, although I sometimes miss the features only full IDEs can provide. When mucking around in servers though, I use <a href="http://www.vim.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Vim</a>. In the future, I'd love to be able to work more efficiently using Vim, and use it as my main editor, but for now, I can't live without my cmd+p to open files in Sublime.</p>
    <hr>
    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What software can you not live without on a daily basis?</h4></div>
    <p>Google Chrome is definitely on the top of my list, working is just so much faster if I use it. <a href="http://flexibits.com/fantastical" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Fantastical</a> on OSX (and just plain Google Calendar on Windows) is a great way to keep track of stuff on my calendar and add new tasks/events.</p>

    <hr>
    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What hardware are you using for development?</h4></div>
    <p>During my day job I'm using a 21" iMac as well as a cheap, secondary display which usually is littered with terminal windows. When working on my side-projects, I'm using my 13" MacBook Air which is perfect to be able to chuck in my bag and work somewhere else should I need to. Though most of my work is done from the sofa.</p>
    <hr>
    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> Which editor or IDE do you use?</h4></div>
    <p>Un-surprisingly, I'm a big Sublime Text 2 fan. The huge repository of plugins (mainly accessible thanks to the fantastic <a href="http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Package Control</a> and unique features like multiple cursors and distraction free mode just make a joy to use.</p>

    <p>I work on the front-end – HTML/CSS/JS, but we're a Rails shop so I do that too. Straight JS/jQuery for most of our work, but we're investigating <a href="http://angularjs.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">AngularJS</a> at the moment as a way to wrap a framework around the front-end.</p>
    <hr>
    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What hardware are you using for development?</h4></div>
    <p>MacBook Air 13'' from 2011 – 4GB RAM, 1.7 GHz Intel i5…I could use a bit more RAM especially if I wanted to do some work with VMs but it gets the job done. I used to use an additional external monitor (24'' Asus HDMI screen) but the color profile discrepancies between the two screens were annoying enough as a front-end guy that I abandoned it altogether in favor of one single screen.  For our responsive work, I'm constantly cycling between an iPhone 5, Nexus 4, iPad 3, iPad Mini and Nexus 7. And of course, no hardware setup can be complete without some gnarly headphones. I rock the <a href="http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/57a64f4a9fdbefd9/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Audio Technica ATH-M50s</a> because they had the highest ratings on Amazon for pretty much any product and man do they deliver.</p>

    <span>Q</span> Which editor or IDE do you use?</h4></div>
    <p>Back in my .NET days I was a Visual Studio guy, then I moved to Vim when I switched to Ruby on Rails, but then I saw the light that was Sublime Text 2 and life is golden. I have a host of packages installed for pretty much anything you could possibly need for Ruby, Rails, jQuery, JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Can't say I've used them all, but they're slowly creeping into my development workflow.</p>

    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> What hardware are you using for development?</h4></div>
    <p>I use a 13" MacBook Air as a portable server (with both Mac OS &amp; Windows) as I constantly change workspaces and cannot rely on the cloud for a major part of my work. I usually connect the server to the local networks at home or in my office. At home, the desk is powered with a Mac Pro connected to a 30" display which is quite a pleasure to work with. At the office I use a 2012 Mac Mini i7 with two displays – 27" and 19". Both of them are SSD powered as you must admit that you never want to miss it again once you've tried it. ;)  I fly over to our headquarters in Berlin on quite a regular schedule where I work directly on the MacBook. This setup has proven to be very flexible and fits my needs in any situation.</p>
    <hr>
    <div><h4>
    <span>Q</span> Which editor or IDE do you use?</h4></div>
    <p>I have been using PhpStorm as IDE from the minute it came out. Seriously, this is one of the most incredible pieces of software ever made for really powerful web development. For quick editing I am a fan of Sublime Text 2 as it is incredibly lightweight and even comes powerful features you'd much more likely expect from a full blown IDE. On the command line I tend to stick with nano or vim if I'm forced to. I must admit that Microsoft did a pretty good job on the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174173.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">SQL Server Management Studio</a>; fun to write SQL with it.</p>

    <h2>Great Stuff!</h2>
    <p>It's great to be able to peak behind the curtains of other developers and see how they do the magic they do. And from what you can see, the tools and technologies they use are all easily available, and in many cases for free. I'd like to thank the Nettuts+ authors for sharing this information.</p>
