Thanks for the guides, I think I have the basics to get me started with Plugin dev. Wanted to ask about whether its worth having an IDE for plugin development? Secondly, I’m hosting my dev server on a remote cloud VPS because my laptop is too slow to run a VM locally at reasonable speed, as sugges…

I use both an IDE (IntelliJ IDEA) and a text editor (Notepad++) for working with code. Generally I start with the text editor for simple pre-alpha code and when things get more complex I import the code into an IDE project to make it easier to work with. I have two localhost installs.

It also has a watch mode so that as soon as you save a file in your editor it’s syncrhonized with the server. You should exclu…

For most stuff, I’m using atom.io with the Sunsetting Atom - The GitHub Blog package together with a DigitalOcean box. Works like a charm and you can have it auto-save everything to remote. You can specify exclude directories so it won’t be spending efforts on your test and vendor directories. Spec…

UPDATE: nuclide is no longer supported sadly. I use VSCode now which has a native remote editing extension and has now become arguably much more slick than Atom (on which it is shamelessly based! :wink: )
