Connected to every cloud VM, Codio's online IDE offers all the tools and features you would expect from leading desktop IDEs, including the ability to run GUI applications. Hide or reveal complexity depending on your students' learning stage.
Our IDE gives you command line access to the Ubuntu box. Codio's infrastructure supports anything that you choose to install and configure from the command line. Codio boxes have sudo level privileges so you and your students can custom configure your environment.
