What is Salesforce DX?

Salesforce Developement Experience (DX) is a set of tools that streamlines the entire development life cycle. It brings modern software delivery and development practices to the Salesforce platform. 

Salesforce DX offers you an open and standard developer experience, which helps you build application using the tools like Git, Eclipse, Selenium and more. Salesforce DX consists of an updated Eclipse Integrated Development environment (IDE) which expands the value of the toolset to salesforce developers.
