Integrated Development Environment (IDE)


Integrated Development Environment (IDE)


Before we discuss about IDE, if we go to past of the programming history, before IDE introduced to the programming , people programmed applications hardly. Most of people used CLI to develop their programs. CLI is stand for command line interface and we cannot see a GUI in that. CLI is full of human codes . when a programmer programs an application the programmer needed to code the application from beginning to end. It is so difficult and got more time to build a program. After the introduce of IDE the programming technology has been changed and developed quickly.

An IDE is a software that helps programmers to develop their application easily. Modern IDEs are used in the visual programming. Basically IDE is a graphical user interface (GUI). IDE is user friendly . it means when a programmer codes a program with an IDE, the IDE is helping him with some suggestions, auto corrections, drag and drop tools and also with auto coding’s. In that case the programmer can easily build the program.

Features of an IDE


  • ·         Debugging
  • ·         Quick executable actions
  • ·         Producing a GUI
  • ·         User friendly ( helping with many tools, corrections etc.)


Those are some common features in an IDE. In detail debugging is a important feature in IDE. Because we can make mistakes in coding. Before IDE , if a person made mistakes in programming, they had to find that mistake after the execution of the program. Sometimes they had to re-write the program. But after introduce of IDE . if we made a mistake in coding while using an IDE. The IDE will help to solve the problem before execution. Sometimes it will auto correct the mistake or IDE will warn programmer about mistake to correct it .

And also an IDE help a programmer to quickly execute actions without switching to other software’s. IDE’s producing a graphical user interface . from that we can create most attractive applications and its easy to understand. An IDE is user friendly . it means the IDE is always trying to help developer. An IDE is helping with many ways to create a program.


Most popular IDE’s


  • ·         Netbeans
  • ·         Eclipse
  • ·         Microsoft visual studio
  • ·         Android Studio


Netbeans IDE


Netbeans is an Integrated Development Environment which helps programmers to code their programs easily. From Netbeans IDE we can create Java applications like java desktop,mobile and web applications and also we can create HTML applications such as HTML5, java script ,CSS and PHP. We can develop c/c++ applications too. the best thing is Netbeans is free and open source application. The latest complete version of Netbeans is 8.2 and it released on 2016.

Features of Netbeans IDE   

  • ·         Free and open source application
  • ·         Fast and Smart Code Editing
  • ·         Helps to create programs attractive
  • ·         Easy Project Management
  • ·         Helps to write codes without bugs
