Hence it pays to code in the cloud.
You’ll be able to access code directories as a code, and collaborate through the web.
Most of these can even be installed on your own servers, eliminating the intermediary.
Bespin from Mozilla Labs
Remember Mozilla?
They’re the guys that brought you Firefox, Thunderbird, Ubiquity, and a bunch of other stuff.
Included in the ‘other stuff’ is a net online gate-based IDE, called Bespin.
An example of this, Kodingen, is discussed below.
The command line-like interaction might take some getting used to.
All expected features are present: syntax highlighting and standard text manipulation.
Groups of users can work on a single file at the same time.
The code will automatically be updated in other browsers.
Coderun Studio
Coderun Studio is a similarly powerful web client-based IDE, also boasting extensive collaborative features.
Code can be automatically shared on a number of social networks, or otherwise distributed via unique hyperlinks.
These will allow the recipient to view, and optionally edit a parallel version of the code.
Kodingen
net online gate-based IDE Kodingen was based off of Bespin, mentioned above.
Is it fair to mention it in this top 3 as well?
You bet it is.
In a way, it features the best of both worlds.
For Kodingen, although officially still in sign-up beta, the full launch is very near.
As such, the advertised sign-up limitation will not be kept in effect.
With the launch, a number of non-beta features will be rolled out as well.
