SharePoint 2013 dev env

Hi,

The company I work for, big but first time SharePoint (and Microsoft) user,  will roll out SharePoint 2013. (No prior versions, so no migrations – which is already a plus me thinks 😉  )

I’m the designated SharePoint solution architect, developer (one of) etc… you name it…. ‘To Be’. It’s clear I’m a complete novice right now.

My question : How do I set up a development environment for SharePoint 2013 ?

I’m not talking hardware, nor Windows server or MS SQL servers or SharePoint itself – but the development tools.

I have an extensive experience with Java development for 15 years, so I know about continuous build, continuous integration, unit testing, dashboards, auto deploys, versioning, …………

We want the same for our SharePoint dev env 

So what do I need

– Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate ?
– Team Foundation Server ?
– ……..

All help really really appreciated
