WARNING: 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 it only compiles and runs Java right now, and for all other supported languages, falls back to standard editor features.
Note to people wanting to join the project - some evidence of experience is needed (being a developer for another project, perhaps), or at the very least, you need to submit patches or talk on the discussion board.
What's FizzDevelop?
FizzDevelop is a simple IDE written in C# designed to be very lightweight, simple, and functionally transparent. 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 fully fledged IDE like Visual Studio.
Often, programmers want to write a quick hack or utility, and are faced with two choices: use a heavy, overly powerful IDE like Visual Studio or Eclipse, or use an code editor like Notepad++ that lacks the basic features of an IDE they need. FizzDevelop attempts to provide the missing link; a simple integrated development environment that's as fast as an editor, but can still preview, run, and debug your programs and web documents.
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, MS-SQL, PostgreSQL, HTML, XML, assembly language, 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.
