Presentation: Going full circle: Writing software in the browser with Cloud9 IDE

Track: Browser as a Platform / Time: Thursday 11:30 - 12:20 / Location: Amsterdam Room

We have come full circle. We can now write our software entirely in the browser. Think google docs, for software development. In this talk i want to go through what is and will be possible when we move software development into the browser. Cloud hosting, collaboration and accessible everywhere. Cloud9 IDE is a complex web-application written with HTML5 and Node.JS technologies, and as developers we are using Cloud9 to create Cloud9 itself. For the more advanced developers i will also briefly dive into the technology and systems behind the IDE that make all this possible.

Keywords: Cloud9 IDE, Node.JS, HTML5, software development, cloud, collaboration
Target Audience: (Web) Software Developers, Architects and managers interested in developer infrastructure.
