ITE 221-Chapter 10 Morello- IDEs


Everyone has their own opinion on Integrated Development Environments (IDEs).  I found a comparison of several different IDEs, complete with a comment thread a mile long that is sure to give you a few chuckles.  For the simplest setup, you can set up an IDE from a text editor.  But that is only a side note in the article; there is a separate link in the article telling you how to do that.  The main article was on IDEs that are commercially available. Most IDEs support multiple languages (some don’t do it too well).  There are IDEs for developing for mobile apps, and there are web-based IDEs, where you can send a hyperlink for your code.  Then there are IDEs for specific languages or specific operating systems.  The prices of the IDEs can range from free all the way up to $549 for Visual Studio.  Many of the IDEs are open source.  You can find the link at http://mashable.com/2010/10/06/ide-guide/.
