Weblog:   What would you put in a Computer Science Curriculum?
Subject:   A good development environment

The same question occurred to me while writing the upcoming O'Reilly book "Practical Development Environments" (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/practicalde). I didn't find anywhere that taught students what to look for in their software tools.


In addition to source control, I'd also suggest:


- build tools (make, Ant, ...)
- test environments (harnesses)
- bug tracking tools
- documentation environments
- managing releases


All pretty prosaic, but very irritating if they don't work well.
