OSX Development Environment Setup

I just upgraded a 2010 13” Macbook Pro with a 240GB Intel SSD 530. Started with a clean install of OSX 10.9 which I immediately updated to 10.9.2

Here are the apps I installed:

Platforms

• Xcode: For iOS and OSX development
• Oracle Java JDK: For Java development
• MAMP: Mac Apache MySQL PHP

Editors/IDE

• Sublime Text: Text Editor
• Netbeans: IDE for Java
• Brackets: another opensource editor for web code
• Lighttable: yet another opensource editor for web code
• GGTS: IDE for Groovy and Grails

GUI for common tools

• SourceTree: Graphical user interface for git
• Sequel Pro: Graphical User Inteface for MySQL

Browsers

• Chrome: For the devtools
• Firefox: For testing
• Opera: For testing

Utilities

• Homebrew: package manager for OSX
• TrimEnabler: enables SSD trim for non Apple drives
• iTerm2: a better terminal
• Alfred: quick search and productivity tool
• Unarchiver: adds support for 7z and other archive file types
• ClamXav: free opensource Antivirus
• Synergy: cross-platform opensource Keyboard and Pointer sharing
• Virtualbox: For virtualization needs
• Dropbox: For cloud storage
• Skype: free video chat and messaging client
• Transmission: opensouce torrent client
• VLC: Video Player
• Cyberduck: Network File Transfer client

Almost all the applications above can be installed using brew-cask except for Homebrew, Xcode and GGTS
