Recommended Programming Environment

Whatever operating system you are using, the right tools can make your programming experience much better. Below are our recommendations by operating system.

Windows

Use Visual Studio if you have access to a license. Otherwise we recommend Xamarin Studio.

Mac

We recommend that you use Xamarin Studio.

Linux

Install the latest version of MonoDevelop (and the underlying Mono runtime libraries). Acquire the NUnit Plugin.

We use NUnit for all of our testing. Install it within your IDE. It may already be installed in some cases.
