Summary
In this chapter, we installed a local machine version of Cloud Foundry called PCF Dev. Then, we logged into it and pushed an app to verify that it worked. We did this to shorten our development and debugging cycle, which generally consists of the time-tested practice of TDD for writing great code that is resistant to regression failures. Using TDD, we follow the workflow of red, green, iterate until our code is feature complete.
We examined the key differences between PCF Dev and other distributions of Cloud Foundry. PCF Dev is a convenient addition to your Cloud Foundry development toolkit. This ensures that you are creating applications that are highly likely to run with little to no modification of your production foundation of Cloud Foundry.
