Without using a 3rd-party application, how do I go about changing the icon in the sidebar for the Developer folder?
When I click on "Get Info" for this icon it's showing the icon does have the hammer icon but it's not showing in El Capitan in the sidebar when I add it over there?
Does anyone have a solution or can refer me to an article that will provide me with some direct information on how to add/edit this?
I was having the same issue and here's what just worked for me:
Hold command, then drag it off the Favorites bar. The item will turn into a little "poof" white cloud and when you release, it'll go away! Finally!
Remote Disc is a way for Macs without optical drives (Air, mini) to access another computers optical drive over a network. So you can put a disc in another Mac or Windows PC and read it on your mini.
Full details and instructions are reported here.
On the computer with the CD/DVD drive:
Go to the Preference panel, and click on "Sharing."
In Sharing, enable the "CD and DVD Sharing" service.
When a CD/DVD is inserted in the computer used to share the CD/DVD, its content will be show under "Remote Disc" on the Mac Mini.

I found a SIMBL plugin that changes the icons on the sidebar to custom ones. By removing the icons from the configuration file, it doesn't replace any icons with custom ones, but only allows the icon of the folder itself to be displayed on the sidebar. Keep in mind that this will also change your home folder, All My Files folder and all other folders to display in colour.

Remember to use mySIMBL for the plugin to fully work: mySIMBL download
