- 33. Version control systemGit / SVN / Mercurial SVN – simple, centralized
- 34. Git – complicated,native for Drupal, powerful
- 35. Mercurial – inbetween

- 39. NetBeans / Eclipse / CodeLobster
- 40. Provides syntax highlighting,autocompletion, integration with debugging and VCS.
- 41. Environment tools Installseveral browsers for different user roles
- 42.
- 43. use Masquerade moduleOften you'll need to see the site by different groups of users – administrators, anonymous users, registered users, etc . Several browsers is more preferable – this have other usage as well.

- 52. Drupal ecosystem Followthe coding style. Use correct variable_names, ClassNames,tab settings, comments. see http://drupal.org/coding-standards
- 53. Respect Doxygen headers.That is the reason why do we have nice documentation out-of-box at http://api.drupal.org . /** * Fetches a user object based on * an external authentication source. * * @param string $authname * The external authentication username. * * @return * A fully-loaded user object if the user * is found or FALSE if not found. */ function user_external_load($authname) {
