Web Integrated Development Environment

In a world that is becoming more dependent on cloud storage and cloud computing, there is more of a focus on making software development less dependent on the personal machine. However, almost all software is developed on a local machine by one collaborator at a time. Developing on a machine requires additional steps to share files and download files from the internet. On top of these additional steps, there is maintenance to ensure that the project will be able to run on additional machines. All of these tedious steps and maintenance just simply to run the project can be very time consuming and reduces the efficiency of software development.

The solution we propose to solve these issues is WIDE, a web integrated development environment. WIDE is a web application, meaning it will be accessible through a browser by going to the URL. Through WIDE, users are able to save files, develop software, and run projects all on the cloud. Users will no longer need to download files or upload files from their machine to the cloud. Neither will they have to be concerned with the project running on their machine, because all code can be compiled and executed on the remote server. To top it all off, WIDE will enable the ability for users to collaborate on files together with real time updates. WIDE is the path to a more efficient, and less dependent future for software development.
