brodybits opened a new issue #961: Recommended dev tooling
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/issues/961
 
 
   # Feature Request
   
   List of recommended tools for someone to get started with mobile development, such as Node.js, decent editor, recommended Windows shells, etc.
   
   Also there is no mention of prerequisite tools in the [Get Started Fast section of the Cordova homepage](https://cordova.apache.org/#getstarted). (I would be happy to move this part to a separate issue, if needed.)
   
   ## Motivation Behind Feature
   <!-- Why should this feature be implemented? What problem does it solve? -->
   
   Discussion in issue #960 made me realize that this kind of information is not published in the Cordova docs.
   
   I think we should not assume very much knowledge about dev tools from new Cordova users.
   
   ## Feature Description
   <!-- 
   Describe your feature request in detail
   Please provide any code examples or screenshots of what this feature would look like
   Are there any drawbacks? Will this break anything for existing users? 
   -->
   
   - add a section with a list of recommended tools
   - consider adding recommended platform-specific tools
   - add a pointer to basic prerequisite tools to the [Get Started Fast section of the Cordova homepage](https://cordova.apache.org/#getstarted).
   
   ## Alternatives or Workarounds
   <!-- 
   Describe alternatives or workarounds you are currently using 
   Are there ways to do this with existing functionality?
   -->
   
   - Add pointers to relevant tutorials, blog articles, and videos (there should be plenty good info already published, in many languages)
   
   I hope to contribute the solution someday (sorry I cannot make any promises at this point).
