• Special Thanks to
• Sadegh Aliakbary

Basics about IDEs

• First An environment for text editing
• Second A tool for Compiling and Linking
• Third An environment for debugging
• 1964 Dartmouth Basic
• John G Kemeny Thomas E Kurtz
• Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code

3
But Newer IDEs

• Project browsing
• Database Connectivity
• Code Completion
• User Assistant
• Help
• Coding assistant
• Powerful debuggers
• Even Simulators!
• Mostly used in microprocessor programming

4
IDEs Languages

• Mostly an IDE is designed for a Special Language
• Some believe that
• IDEs must be independent of Languages
• More concern about human factors
• Weak debugging is the result
• Text Pad as an example
• Powerful editing environment
• External commands can be added
• Syntax highlighting plug-in

• Of course they could write their code in Ms
  windows 3.1 editors !
• Presence of a new tool with Windows 95 !
• Made everybody happy!

22
Next Generation of IDEs

• Where are we going?!
• Tow aspects
• Language dependent
• Visual Basic
• Language independent
• Web-based IDE !

23
New IDE for Visual Basic

• Beryl Plimmer
• Computer Science
• University of Auckland
• Mark Apperley
• Computer Science
• University of WaiKato
• New Zealand

24
What is the idea?!

• An electornic Pen
• An electronic white board
• Is all what youre dealing with!
• You can write!
• You can draw!
• What else do you need?!
• Nothing!

25
Procedure

• Students complain about GUI
• Too much work for sketching!
• Lets just draw the Interface!
• And Integrate it with VB 6.0
• Both Code GUI

26
An Example
First Prototype
27
Another Example!
Second Prototype
28
What is the benefit?

• Human Factors
• You draw draw once!
• Feel what user might feel!

29
Distributed Programming Environment

• DPE is introduced as a Web-Based IDE
• Client / Server Technologies
• Multimedia Chats
• Fully implemented by Java -O
• Client/Server -gt CORBA IIOP
• Multimedia -gt RTP

30
What does it do?!

• Code submission
• Project Management
• Different roles
• Different Access levels
