Development Tools [duplicate]

No, there is no developer ISO. Yes, you do have to manually install them. Ubuntu is made to be a distribution aimed at ease of use on the desktop meaning that the main use is word processing, etc.

To install basic development tools, run:

sudo apt install build-essential

Any other tools can be installed with:

sudo apt install tool-name

DKMS installs gcc and make automatically

DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) automatically installs gcc and make in order to compile kernel modules from manufacturer's source code. It's often necessary to compile source for some WiFi Drivers, Graphics cards, etc.

You are definitely correct that git is not installed by default however I don't consider it a programming language, more of a library system.

Development Tools included by default

The preferred (IMO) methods of development within the Ubuntu family is using interpretive languages like Bash, Python and Perl. These are all installed by default. With additional GUI interfaces such as dialog, zenity and yad (this one requires manual installation), there is more than enough development tools to keep people busy learning and experimenting.
