Below is a quick video showing how to install common Front End Developer tools on a new Windows O/S machine from the command line. Having these will enable creation of modern JavaScript based apps with HTML/JS/CSS with advanced debugging, intelligence autocomplete, and live re-loading. Cheers!
With Office 365 Conditional Access Policy security applied users will see the error below when attempting to view SharePoint Online with a different browser (FireFox, Chrome, etc.). This makes debugging front end JavaScript applications challenging without Chrome’s excellent F12 debug tools.
However, we have a fix.
Leverage Internet Explorer to obtain a valid Office 365 session and export those cookies to text. Demo video shows exactly how to extract the “FedAuth” and “rtFa” cookies to successfully login from any web client (FireFox, Chrome, Fiddler, REST Post Man).
Cheers!

Review and demo of a great portable app named “Mini SQL Query” I use to verify SQL connectivity and run queries. Faster than full SQL Management Studio (SSMS). Portable app ZIP to download and double click EXE to run.

Below is a quick script to remove any IIS memory pools for Service Applications which are no longer actively used by SharePoint. Good on older farm to streamline W3WP and avoid excess processes.
