Integrated development environment (IDE) tools can ease the coding process and maximized productivity when developing apps. You'll be developing an app for the comic book store in the coming weeks. What features do you want in an IDE?

Post your answers to the discussion area.

Respond to at least one of your peers. In your response, consider including any experience you may have with the app builder listed. Alternatively, provide reasons why the summary sparks an interest to you.
