Building your SharePoint 2013 development machine on Windows Server 2012 – Part 1 – Introduction.

UPDATE: SharePoint 2016 development machine

Over the next number of blogs I’m going to build up a series of blog post that will show you how to create a SharePoint 2013 development machine on a Windows Server 2012. Hopefully I will do this quite quickly, however with a small child that never wants to go to sleep, a day job and majority of a house to decorate, so I can’t see it happening as quickly as you or I will like.

To be honest some of these posts deserve credit to Andrew Connell for creating SharePoint 2013 Setup Guide for Developers using Windows Server 2008. I have been using his pdf as a guide to how to do mine.
