Improved Interaction in Web-Based Cloud IDE

Abstract — Internet has added more dynamism to this fast changing world. Most of the time, people wish to use internet to solve their problems. As of now, most of the events happen via on-line. When a new program/project is developed, developer may wish to test his program/project to know its performance without actually investing on the compilers and other libraries but to use cost effective solutions before being developed as a separate software package. If such solution is made available on-line at a learner's cost it may be attract entrepreneurs and newbies to develop new ideas and software solutions. For compiling and executing the source program, user needs a compiler package tools. The overhead of installing compiler to each machine can be avoided by using on-line compilers. A web-based environment has been developed for learners/developers to write programs in different languages. The proposed system runs on a Linux environment and provides each user with separate subdirectories that is completely isolated from others. The main aim of designing of this system is to ensure easy way of program development and to use on-line facilities to execute and debug the program. The client machine doesn't need a compiler kit. The proposed system has better interaction with the user by accepting the input at run time, process it and produce the result. This web-based application can be used across any network and platform. It also eliminates the hassle of installing the compiler on to each computer. There by reducing the cost factor during project development.
