Realtime Collaborative Code Editor
Project Area of Specialization Computer ScienceProject SummaryThis project presents a real-time code editing and collaborating environment. different real time collaboration tools have their own sets of features for accommodating this kind of group interaction. Some of these involve instant messaging or other real-time communications tools, while others involve file sharing so that multiple users can see files at the same time.
However, this project is a web-based, collaborative coding environment. With real-time collaborative editing, multiple programmers can use this application to edit the same source code at the same time. It supports intellisense for a number of programming languages, programmers can execute their code directly on the cloud.
Real-Time collaboration technologies also concern about factors such as file storage. Some new and innovative products use the cloud as a file storage medium in order to make collaboration more efficient. Alternately, real-time collaboration resources can facilitate shared access to a client’s server or other hardware storage medium. The complexity of real-time collaborative editing solutions stems from communication latency. In theory, if communication were instantaneous, then creating a real-time collaborative editor would be no more difficult than creating a single-user editor.
Project Objectives- When it comes to learning programming remotely, programmers tend to struggle to grasp the full concept of writing computer programs since coding is one of those things that requires complete interaction between student, teacher and the piece of program they are writing.
- Our application eliminates this collaboration gap and lets student contribute in the code, this approach not only improves the logic building but also makes learning to code fun for the students, this is definitely the most efficient way of teaching programming.
- Our purpose is to develop and demonstrate how a system for highly-collaborative programming enables a code teaching model infeasible with current tools and to show that highly collaborative programming, using real-time collaborative editing of source code, is practical, useful, and enables new models of teaching programming.
- For the last two years, there was a lockdown due to covid-19, Many students could not understand coding in online classes. They got errors many time while writing the code. Personally we met few students of first and second semester, who gets problem while understanding the code.
- Personally, I presented this idea to my course teacher, she suggest that this is a unique idea for students to learn coding.
- The first & foremost work we will do is to create a sign up & login page for users to login into the code editor by google or any other types of account the user can sign up or login into it.
- Then we will create a UI for the code editor and also for home page to make home page more attractive and useful for the user.
- After completing the front-end stage, we will proceed to the back-end stage for implementing logical work to make the code editor work and make connectivity between users.
- We will apply algorithms to the back-end work so that it will work efficiently & fast. Run time compiler work will also be implemented into the back-end stage to check the run time & build errors while the user is coding.
- When the code editor logical work has been finished, then we will work into the networking stage in which it will make connections between multiple users to connect to the code editor in real time at the same time just like it works in MS Teams & Zoom.
- We will work into syntax colorization & intelli-sense so that user can write code without any difficulties & it will make suggestions to the user into which what he wants to write into the Integrated Development Environment.
- We will work into Audio,Video Calling & Chat Features into the code editor. Also,sharing feature will also be implemented so that user can share his/her code through any platform.
- Attendance system will be implemented into code editor. By clicking on the download button, the admin/teacher will generate an excel sheet of the users/students & gets information about all the users/students details.
- Finally,we will upload it to the domain so that every user can connect to the code editor by sharing a link of website & meeting link will be provided to the users so that whoever wants to connect to the code-editor, he/she can connect it easily by entering the meeting code/session key.
- Web based online code editor.
- To learn coding from anywhere and anytime.
- If a student gets any error during coding then the teacher resolve the error in run-time.
- With the help of file storage and sharing feature, student/teacher can share his/her code by cloud to each other.
When the project is completed, the user will have complete access to use the code editor but it requires sign up to login to the code editor. Code can be shared anywhere anytime, also video and audio calling can be accessed across the users to communicate & discuss with each other. With the help of compiler & intelli-sense, user will have no worry to write the code even he/she is learning first time.
