Hi,

I just came across this on Google+ - probably the most impressive web app I've ever seen. It is called Codenvy and is a fully functional zero-configuration integrated development environment.

Are we going to see such a web based Lazarus IDE soon? ;-) It should help stop all those FPC & Lazarus installation issue support emails. :)

On behalf of those of us with the misfortune to live in areas where you have no alternative to capped satellite internet connections (or worse yet, dial-up - there are still a few such unfortunates here in Maine) I sincerely hope not!

Brian.

Brian can I ask what is your average internet speed?

I agree with you Graeme.
But its web development may be very hard.

Is there any one here have more information from such like this service?

Regards,
Ara

I was simply joking. I know full well of capped internet with terrible speeds. Until recently, I lived in South Africa, and that is not the place for reliable fast internet. 384Kb broadband is still very popular there, and 3G gives a bit more speed (around 1Mb) but very expensive.

Even now with fast internet, I still prefer offline help systems, desktop applications to cloud based apps.

I was just in awe of what some developers have accomplished with web technologies - a far cry from web pages 10 years ago.

Turbo Pascal 3 on my IBM 5150 PC can build and run programs faster than it took this thing on an enterprise-level internet connection to build whatever it builds and tell me that it cannot connect to the sample application's page.

So, yeah, no i'd also prefer these things to not become commonplace. .

It depends on the time of day. My net connection is capped two ways, firstly total throughput, up and down combined, is limited to 250 MB/day, except between 0200 and 0700 my time, when it's unmetered.

Secondly, the connection is capped at 3 Megabits/sec down, 256 Kilobits/sec up, but I only see that in the off-peak periods. In the early evening, I've seen download speeds as low as dialup (i.e. 50 kilobits per second) and you don't even want to know about upload - it can take 15-20 seconds to send a standard e-mail.

Brian.

Have you moved Graeme?

Where are you now?

Thank you.

Nah, for web development leave me with Vim and I'll be happy.
