NOTE: This project is in very early development. It is not suited to everyday use at this point, and it probably won't be for awhile. It's also important to note that, as an IDE, it only supports Java (but still supports several other languages as an editor).
What's FizzDevelop?
FizzDevelop is a code editor written in C# designed to be lightweight and simple, and provide basic IDE features. The idea is to have an editor/IDE that you can fire up quickly to deal with small projects, rather then launching and configuring a full fledged IDE like Visual Studio. Often, programmers find themselves wanting to write a quick hack or utility, and either need to use a overly powerful IDE like Visual Studio or Eclipse, or else use an editor like Notepad++ or Notepad2, which lacks real IDE features (running programs, basic debugging). This provides the missing link; a simple integrated development environment that's as fast as an editor.
What languages does FizzDevelop support?
As an IDE, FizzDevelop can currently compile and run Java. It also serves as an editor (with syntax highlighting and code folding) for C#, VBScript, Javascript, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, HTML, XML, generic assembly, and Python.
How will FizzDevelop work as an IDE for both programming languages (such as Java) and display languages (like HTML)?
FizzDevelop will support both building and running programming languages, but will also support a more streamlined workflow for display languages, with a built-in browser component for previewing (right now, no WYSIWYG editor is planned for HTML, but may be in the future).
Can I take your code and use it in my project?
This is basically my pet project right now. Take any code you want, just follow the license.
