ADE Development Environment¶
The ADE Development Environment (ADE - pronounced [ey]-[dee]-[ee]) is a modular Docker-based tool to ensure that all developers in a project have a common, consistent development environment.
With ADE developers:
- Are confident that what works on one of their computers will also work on all ADE-enabled computers
- Can comfortably install new packages and dependencies, knowing that the environment can easily be returned to its original state
- Can mount different volumes (which can be standalone libraries, IDEs, and other tools) and easily switch between versions of these volumes without affecting other parts of the environment
