Vagrant
What is it? Vagrant is an amazing tool and an amazing thing to get to know. I’m still in the process of learning and I love it. It does deal a lot with the command line so I have to familiarize myself with that once more. It has been years since I’ve used it.
Virtual Box
Yes. A box. A virtual one at that. VirtualBox is another great tool when it comes to creating a working environment. The main reason I love it is because you can have several machines on one system.
