Integrated Development Environment
From GDWiki
An Integrated Development Environment(IDE) is a tool that makes developing applications easier. Usually development environments include a text editor, compiler, debugger, linker, and make files, which makes developing applications a juggling act. An IDE is a tool that combines all these separate tools into one package, which greatly simplifies and speeds up development. It has a text editor, it manages all the source code files in your project, and it automatically knows how to compile and link your project into the final executable.
