What is Integrated development environment (IDE)?

Now a day’s software industry is required to produce software applications rapidly in less duration. So the programmer should be free from collecting requirements for application development. Then the programmer can concentrate on application development logic.

Any technology based application development need some sort of pre requirements.

Integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides pre requirements for developing software applications.

If we don’t have IDE we need to set up all the pre requirements for our application.

The pre requirements provided by IDE’s are source code editor, code compiler, code debugger, Execution environment, application folder structure, graphical user interfaces, browser to run web based applications and some of application dependent files required for application development.

So if we have IDE we can save the time to set up all the pre requirements.

Some IDEs are dedicated to a specific programming language, allowing a feature set that most closely matches the programming paradigms of the language.

However there are many IDE’s such as

• Eclipse IDE, Net Beans IDE for Java Application Development.
• Microsoft Visual studio IDE for .Net
• Eclipse IDE for Android.

So IDE reduces application development process, fast access to application files, immediate feedback to the programmer about error codes and debugging techniques made IDE’s popular now a day’s in Software development.
