Overview of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)

IDEs are software applications that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development.
IDEs consist of a source code editor, build automation tools, and a debugger.
Some IDEs contain the necessary compiler, interpreter, or both, while others do not.
IDEs are designed to maximize programmer productivity by providing tight-knit components with similar user interfaces.
IDEs can reduce the configuration necessary to piece together multiple development utilities.
Tighter integration of all development tasks has the potential to improve overall productivity beyond just helping with setup tasks.
IDEs have a class browser, an object browser, and a class hierarchy diagram for use in object-oriented software development.
IDEs provide syntax highlighting, code completion, automated refactoring, integrated version control, debugging, and code search.
IDEs are used for visual programming, where an IDE is generally required.
Some IDEs support multiple languages, while others provide support for alternative languages through plugins.
Unix programmers can combine command-line POSIX tools into a complete development environment.
A web integrated development environment (Web IDE), also known as an Online IDE, is a browser-based IDE that allows for software development or web development.
