The Codio online Integrated Development Environment (IDE) offers all the tools and features you would expect from leading desktop IDEs, including the ability to run GUI applications. This makes Codio the best online IDE for your students. Master Java with our online IDE, or learn Python with our online editor. Our in-browser IDE supports many programming languages such as Java, Python, C, C++, NodeJS, and more.
Maintaining a consistent IDE is important so your students have access to the same development environment regardless of their hardware or software configurations. This will reduce the likelihood of compatibility issues. You can teach and instruct students in real time with them following along on their own devices. An online IDE means you can level-set the student experience, reducing frustration with technical issues.
Hide or reveal complexity depending on your students' learning stage. Professional-grade IDEs, like Codio, offer advanced features like syntax highlighting, extensive keyboard shortcuts, code complete, multiple code panels, themes, code beautification, emmet support, one-click software installation, and custom configurable menus.
Our web-based 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.
The student policy of 'Bring Your Own Device' (BYOD) is today's reality. Therefore, Codio allows you to reduce your computer lab costs by providing a cloud-based IDE that is accessible from the classroom or from home. Students just need a web browser to use the Codio IDE. Allowing students to work anywhere gives them more freedom and independence to get their work done.
Even though all Codio boxes are running in the Cloud, the Codio virtual desktop lets anyone develop GUI-based applications. Whether Swing, JavaFX, tkinter, OpenGL, or anything else, they all run beautifully within your browser. This allows for a centralized management system to ensure all students have access to the online IDEs.
The Codio IDE has a superb debugger that runs in the browser. Our online IDE is for C Java, Python, C++, NodeJS. You will find all the features you would expect including gutter-based breakpoint, automatic watching of local variables, manual variable watches, call stack, step over, step out, and more.
An integrated debugger in our online IDE means that the final code produced by students will be of a higher quality. This will reduce the likelihood of errors and bugs. This is also time-saving for coding in our text editor. Students will be able to identify and fix errors easily.
Manual debugging can take a long time and might not be as efficient without an integrated debugger.
Codio's online IDE is designed for experts and enables teaching complex topics such as Data Science or Graphics. For full details, review our technical specifications. Some of the things you will find are syntax highlighting, extensive keyboard shortcuts, code complete, multiple code panels, themes, code beautification, emmet support, one-click software installation, and custom configurable menus. These are all complex features that can make learning to code much easier with our code editor and online IDE.
