Visit the product screenshots page to see how these features look like in the IDE:
Can I download my code and use it offline?
Sure you can. You can also use SVN to track versions between your desktop and the CodeRun IDE.
Can I still use my current desktop IDE?
Yes. CodeRun is fully compliant with industry-standard file formats such as Microsoft Visual Studio project files. You can iterate between your desktop and CodeRun as much as you like.
Will others be able to see my code?
Only if you choose to allow them. CodeRun does not automatically publish any of your content.
Which browser is best suited for the CodeRun IDE?
Firefox is the fastest one around, but it also works on Internet Explorer.
Chrome and Safari support will be added in upcoming versions.
