One of the very few reasons that I always want my computer with me almost all the time because you don’t get your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) in someone else’s computer if I need to write a small peace of code. What if you automatically get an IDE on every computer that is connected to the internet, it sounds like brilliant idea.
Today while looking for an example of some code on CodeProject.com, I came across some information about an Online IDE by CodeRun.com. CodeRun have taken first step to convert the dream of hundreds of thousands developers into the reality. They have developed (most probably) the first ever browser based “partial” IDE. I call it “partial” because it doesn’t have many features of Smart IDE like intellisense but it has most of the very important features of developing a software like Compiling, Running, Debugging the application plus the color coding of the source code. In simple words, it is workable for sometime but it is not the replacement of Visual Studio or Eclipse.

CodeRun.com online IDE supports .NET and PHP development. I would write another post after playing more with it.
