Abstract

Despite being laden with elaborate features and time-saving gadgetry, modern Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) continue to be little more than turbocharged text editors with loosely integrated compilers. Years of incremental evolution of these environments have created a species of large, lumbering, often incomprehensible products with little direct support for the day-to-day tasks that developers actually find themselves doing.

In our poster we outline a fresh tool platform - development of which is well under way - which defines a revolutionary new environment for software development. Program editing is considered first and foremost as a direct manipulation of a rich semantic model whose persistent representation as plain-text source code is somewhere between conveniently incidental and almost entirely irrelevant.

Accessibility challenges and tool features: an IBM Web developer perspective
W4A '10: Proceedings of the 2010 International Cross Disciplinary Conference on Web Accessibility (W4A)

Using evidence from a survey of 49 IBM Web developers we explore two concerns: barriers to the developers' designing accessible Web-based products, and what value they felt specific features in an "accessibility" tool might have. They found designing ...

Although refactoring tools have been integrated into numerous development environments over the past ten years, we have seen little variation in the human interfaces to refactoring tools -- when a refactoring fails, most tools present a textual error ...
