Dynamics CRM Developer Extensions

https://github.com/jlattimer/CRMDeveloperExtensions

“The goal of this project is to be an alternative to the CRM Developer Toolkit that shipped with the Dynamics CRM 2011 & 2013 SDK. Initially it will contain templates and code snippets to help jump start the development process but eventually will expand to include other tooling to help streamline the process of getting and deploying web resources as well as plug-ins and custom workflow activities.”

For background information on the limitations of Microsoft’s CRM Developer Toolkit (Visual Studio 2013 support, CRM 2015 support) and the approach for building this alternative, read this post from Jason Lattimer.
