DevKit for EE 2

Bjørn Børresen had an itch and scratched it.

I’ve spent the last 8 months developing modules (and templates) for EE 2.0. Pretty early I got annoyed by some of the redundant manual tasks I had to do over and over again .. so I started creating some addons to help me out. Now I’ve bundled (some of that) functionality in this thing I’ve named DevKit for EE 2.0

This looks like a great tool to get started on an EE 2 module and save yourself from the mundane task of re-writing the same bits of code over and over. EllisLab has available an Accessory Generator that does something similar: gives you a shell of an accessory to get started. Maybe they should adopt Bjørn’s DevKit and put it on the site, too?

DevKit 2.0 is a free download on GitHub and available now. Read Bjørn’s write-up for all the details: Introducing DevKit for EE 2.0
