I needed to set up my newer windows box for development (most of my time is on OSX at my gig).<\/p>\n

During a conference I went to a Docker presentation and was forced to bring in the windows machine for it’s awesome battery — and was the wrong thing to do.\u00a0 Docker on windows sucks, and windows has no real good dependency management solution compared to Brew and Linux solutions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I tested a Particle Argon board I got during a workshop and it worked great on the virtual Linux (the hardware — that’s Particle’s Web IDE in the pic).<\/p>\n

\"Particle<\/p>\n

Then, I installed a version of IntelliJ and VS Code (very popular, and kind of the best choice now).<\/p>\n

My next steps are to get Docker up and going — maybe a Redis database or something with GraphQL.\u00a0 It would be nice to be able to reset the system — everything in Windows gets so baked in and can become problematic.<\/p>\n

The entire summary of this activity:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get a system up to develop in that I can configure without ruining my host system.<\/li>\n
  2. Have the ability to have sandboxes — i.e. Docker.<\/li>\n
  3. Have better package management than Windows can provide.<\/li>\n
  4. Command line!!!!\u00a0 that alone is worth it.<\/li>\n
  5. The system still has to scream — I am running a very powerful notebook so am not too concerned.\u00a0 Since there is a lot of virtualization swapping for performances this should be OK.<\/li>\n
  6. Hardware — has to be usable (Particles and Arduinos etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So far so good.<\/p>\n

    I will have more on things later and hopefully get this DLive\/Channel stuff going as I restart my hands-on sessions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
