I personally use visual studio online and github and am very happy with both plus if you configure your tfs host to use git then moving between the two is really simple. If you didn't use TFS then bitbucket has free private repositories or github will let you have open repositories or pay a little bit to get private repos. I would get the community version of visual studio, 2015 or 2013 are both fine and I use both of them today for my personal projects.Īs for SQL you can use the express versions without any licensing restrictions and as long as you are happy with the restrictions then they will work.įor TFS you can use visual studio online rather than TFS express which gives you the additional benefit that you can work from anywhere or if you break your machine you have a full backup. You can do your development entirely for free as long as it is genuinely for learning rather than you secretly work for a multi-million dollar corporate who really doesn't like paying for anything :)
I am not sure why you got down voted so I voted you back up again :) - I think questions on getting a modern development stack for SQL Server development should be encouraged! Please feel free to make any suggestions. Please can you assist me in guiding if I have got all these correct and if it will all work or do I have to buy any license or some other editions. Since it still in preview version I am now considering to install VS 2013 along with its SSDTįinally I can install TFS express but it only supports express editions else I have to go for an alternative open source or a freeware version control. The limitations and the differences are in the link below which I believe should be fine for now. Or install the “Express with Advanced Services“ which I believe should be fine to begin with. I can either buy a developer edition 2014 (I do not want to spend at this point in time) With SQL Server I would like to use all the BI tools (SSIS, SSRS, SSAS). I know that I can install Visual Studio Community 2015 as long as I am working individually so that is sorted for now. I suppose I have to install them in the order below:
There are three software that I will need - Visual Studio, SQL Server and TFS. To start with I have bought a Windows 10 Professional license that I intend to install on a VM (VirtualBox).
I need to create a development environment for myself to:Ģ) Create pet projects (which could potentially involve few other developers but that is in the distant future) Software to install
