IDE

From DmWiki

IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. An IDE will usually consist of a text editor, one or more compilers and various tools (such as profilers, syntax highlighting etc.) to make your development life simpler and easier.

It is often possible to link an IDE with other, independant programs, such as source control, so that the developer is able to quickly work through the IDE, rather than switch between various applications.

There are various IDE's available to both hobbyist and professional developers and these are mentioned under Development setups.
