6 - Going Through the Development Cycle

Now you're up and running - how should a typical day of programming go? Well, I can't speak for others, but here's how I lay out my development environment:
  1. Start up Windows, and run Explorer, pointing to my source directory - I use it for loading into the editor with drag and drop, and file maintenance (delete, rename, etc).
  2. Start up Cygwin, and 'cd' to my source directory.
  3. Start up an html browser, and load in the front page of the Franklin documentation, ready to reference.
  4. Start up my editor, and load my source code.
  5. Edit and save my source.
  6. Go into Cygwin, and run my compile via make.
  7. When successfully compiled, run the debugger, and step through my code changes.
  8. Close the debugger, and go back to my source code editor.
  9. Repeat steps 5-8 until lunch, supper, or bedtime.
