How browser IDEs are enabling the transition of development to the cloud
2Presented virtually by Toma Puljak of Codeanywhere at TheiCon 2022.
A transition from local development to the cloud is gaining more and more traction and browser IDEs are enabling this transition even further.
IDEs like Theia, that can be installed in any remote environment and booted up in the browser, are making development workflows more efficient by enabling developers to work from any machine (e.g. Laptops, iPads and even phones).
Because of this transition, tools like live collaboration and app previewing are becoming critical in enabling such a workflow.
In this presentation, I will cover the benefits of a cloud-based development workflow with the emphasis on browser-based IDEs (Theia specifically). Also includes a demonstration of live collaboration (including text editor and terminal collaboration) and application previewing and cover the technologies that enable these features.
