Ruby

macOS comes with Ruby installed, but as we don't want to be messing with operating system core files we could use the tools rbenvand ruby-buildto manage and install our Ruby versions for our development environment.

Python

macOS, like Linux, ships with Python already installed. But you don't want to mess with the system Python (some system tools rely on it, etc.), so we'll install our own version(s). There are two ways to install Python, (1) Homebrew and (2) Pyenv. If you plan to use multiple versions of Python (e.g. 2, 3, and anaconda) then you should use pyenv.

Sass

while there are alot of apps out there that get you up and running with sass, either with an application (codekit, prepros), or the command line. To install via Homebrew:

brew install sass/sass/sass

Google Cloud

Most of our web apps run on Google Cloud Platform which lets you build and host applications and websites, store data, and analyze data on Google's scalable infrastructure.
