Bespin Code in the Cloud



Hi all you techie people there!!
Have you ever thought of coding your java program in you browser . May be within few years you will see some IDEs that are in the browser . Even if the fulll fledged one but you can find Bespin an interesting one .



Bespin is a Mozilla Labs project aiming to create an open extensible and interoperable web-based framework for code editing.
The name is thought to be based on Bespin, the fictional gas giant from Star Wars which relates to a cloud computing nature of the project.
Bespin encourages a more shared environment where data can be accessed from any machine. This allows developers to collaborate on projects through a unified interface accessed through a web browser, no matter where they are physically located. The application is available to anyone after free registration on the website.
Bespin currently supports syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS, PHP, Python, C#, C, Ruby, Arduino and JavaScript.

As is shown in the figure there are alot of features that you can make use of for not that fast as the Pro IDEs provide you with but at least of a simple editor.

You can freely use this and also integrate this in your web site .It is simply developed in Javascript and the JQuery library .Being a freeware you can edit the code and if you have much command over the language then modify it according to your needs .

You can just start it by following the given link below
