Introduction
For many developers, the workday spans multiple tools, platforms, and environments. You might write code on Windows, test in Linux containers, collaborate through cloud-based repositories, and use AI-powered tools to speed up development and troubleshooting.
When your workflow depends on so many moving parts, even routine tasks can become distractions. Setting up a new device, switching between environments, fixing a failed build, or configuring development tools can all pull your attention away from the work that matters most: building applications.
Windows developers often work across multiple tools, repositories, and environments throughout the day. Windows 11 includes integrated capabilities that help reduce setup and configuration overhead, support cross-platform development, and simplify common development tasks.
By reducing friction in everyday workflows, these capabilities can help developers spend less time managing their environment and more time building, testing, debugging, and shipping applications.
In this module, you explore how Windows 11 supports modern development workflows and identify capabilities that can help improve productivity across common development scenarios.
