Online IDEs and Distributed Development
An online IDE, also known as Web IDE or cloud IDE, is an integrated development environment (IDE) that is hosted in a browser, which allows for software development or web development. An online IDE can be accessed from a web browser, such as Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, allowing for a portable work environment. An online IDE does not usually contain all of the same features as a traditional, or desktop, IDE, although all of the basic IDE features, such as syntax highlighting, are typically present.
The idea of Distributed Development is a project development model where members in the same team spreading across geographical lines contribute to collaborate on applications or softwares and communicate through the Internet. In addition, if a project is so huge that the “team” above may be a micro-team, and then these micro-teams construct mid-teams and finally mid-teams construct the whole team.
