The in-class activity this week, we focus on VS code and other types of Integrated development environment (IDE) . I found an article explain about the definition, purpose of IDE and a list of 10 common IDEs that developers should know.
IDE is a software application that simplifies code development, testing, and debugging, aiding in organizing project artifacts. It includes tools for Java, Microsoft Visual Studio, Android Studio, RStudio, and PyCharm, and compiles and interprets programs.
IDEs aid developers in real-time code parsing, detecting human mistakes, and allowing activities without switching between programs. Most enterprise development teams choose a pre-configured IDE suited to their specific use case.
IDE simplifies the setup process for developers by integrating different tools into the same workbench, saving time and effort. This is especially beneficial for onboarding new engineers, who can learn about standard tools and workflows. IDE capabilities save time by eliminating character sequence writing.
There are 10 common IDEs which are derived from a study of how frequently IDEs’ download pages are Googled.
