SharePoint development tools
Microsoft has a number of tools that can be used to create business solutions including Visual Studio, SharePoint Designer, and InfoPath Designer.
Visual Studio
Visual Studio 2010 provides a robust environment for developing solutions for SharePoint 2010. Unlike previous versions, there is native support for most of the base project templates. It also natively supports the packaging and deployment process, producing the full feature and package objects and also supports automated deployment and retraction to/from the local SharePoint server to support development efforts.
