 Developer tools are used to create, manage, and interact with canisters. They can come in several formats, such as command line tools, onchain and off-chain libraries, and integrated development environments. For ICP developers, there are tools within each of these categories available for you to utilize when developing your ICP canisters.
 
-## Command line tools
-
-### `dfx`
-
-[`dfx`](/docs/building-apps/developer-tools/dfx/) is the primary tool used by developers to create, build, deploy, manage, and call canisters. `dfx` is also referred to as the IC SDK, or the Internet Computer Software Development Kit.
-
-`dfx` supports [local development](/docs/building-apps/developing-canisters/deploy) and deployment through the [`dfx start`](/docs/building-apps/developer-tools/dfx/) command, which runs a local instance of the ICP replica that can be used to deploy and test canisters on your local machine.
-
-To deploy canisters to the mainnet or make calls to canisters already deployed on the mainnet, the `--network ic` flag can be used with most `dfx` commands.

-### `dfxvm`
-
-[`dfxvm`](/docs/building-apps/developer-tools/dfxvm/dfxvm-default) is a CLI tool used for installing and switching between different versions of `dfx`. It enables developers to pivot between different projects that are built with different `dfx` versions.

-### `quill`
-
-[`quill`](https://github.com/dfinity/quill/) command-line ledger and governance toolkit designed for interacting with the [Network Nervous System (NNS)](https://internetcomputer.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/33692645961236-NNS-Network-Nervous-System) canisters through the use of self-custody keys. It supports using keys in an air-gapped computer, which is a computer that has never been connected to the internet. To support this workflow, `quill` first generates and signs messages based on the user input, then the signed messages are transported to a computer with an internet connection (via a USB flash drive or QR code) where they are submitted to ICP to be executed.

-## Agents
-
-An **agent** refers to an off-chain library that is used to make calls to the public interface of a canister. Agents communicate with the canister's `v2` API endpoints.
-
-The following agents are currently developed and maintained by DFINITY:
-
-- [JavaScript/TypeScript agent (@dfinity/agent)](/docs/building-apps/interact-with-canisters/agents/javascript-agent)
-
-- [Node.js, supported through the JavaScript agent](/docs/building-apps/interact-with-canisters/agents/nodejs)
-
-- [Rust agent (ic-agent)](/docs/building-apps/interact-with-canisters/agents/rust-agent)
-
-Additionally, there are several community-developed and -maintained agents:
-
-- .NET [`ICP.NET` by Gekctek](https://github.com/Gekctek/ICP.NET)
-
-- Dart agents:
-    - [`agent_dart` by AstroX](https://github.com/AstroxNetwork/agent_dart) (supports mobile development with Flutter)
-    - [`ic_dart_tools` by Levi Feldman](https://github.com/levifeldman/ic_tools_dart)
-
-- Go agents:
-    - [`IC-Go` by MixLabs](https://github.com/mix-labs/IC-Go)
-    - [`agent-go` by Aviate Labs](https://github.com/aviate-labs/agent-go)
-
-- Java [`ic4j-agent` by IC4J](https://github.com/ic4j/ic4j-agent) (supports Android)
-
-- Python [`ic-py` by Rocklabs](https://github.com/rocklabs-io/ic-py)
-
-- C [`agent-c` by Zondax](https://github.com/Zondax/icp-client-cpp) (C Wrapper for IC Rust Agent)

-ICP Ninja is a web-based IDE designed specifically for building and deploying ICP canisters. ICP Ninja enables you to write and deploy code directly to the mainnet from the browser. Users can select from several example projects to get started building. Projects deployed through ICP Ninja are available for 20 minutes unless redeployed.
