If you have read the post on MozillaCamp Delhi, you know that Mozilla was all set to launch a Web-based integrated development environment (IDE) called Bespin. Today, Mozilla Labs has formally introduced Bespin to the world.

IDEs are used by software and application developers for faster development of their projects. Microsoft Visual Studio is an example of IDE.

Bespin is an open, extensible web-based framework for editing code which allows easy coordination between various developers working on the project. It also allows users to see the changes made to the project, making life a lot easier for developers. Bespin developers also plan to include real-time collaboration feature to the IDE.



Given the dependence of developers over online sharing of files and information about the project, Bespin can prove to be more practical solution. It aims to promote the use of open standards.

At present the code editor is available as demo version, which one can start using after signing up at Bespin homepage. All that you need to do is choose username and password, and give your email id. Start experiencing the new world of coding.
