About Development Environment

• Software developers use a set of tools and resources to create, test, and deploy software applications. This set of tools and resources is called a development environment
• A Development Environment typically includes a code editor, a compiler or interpreter, and a debugger, as well as various other tools and libraries
• The goal of a development environment is to provide a streamlined and efficient workspace for software development, allowing developers to focus on writing and testing code, without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure or configurations

Local Development Environment

A local development environment is a software development setup that is installed and run on a single computer, typically the developer’s personal machine. It is a complete, standalone environment that provides all the necessary tools and resources for software development, and allows developers to work offline. A local development environment can also be customized and configured to meet the specific needs of the developer or project. By working in a local environment, developers can easily test and experiment with their code before deploying it to a production environment.
