Abstract:
The subject disclosure relates to methods and systems for facilitating software development. In particular, aspects of the technology relate to a method including steps for receiving source code from a user in an editor window, automatically compiling the source code to produce compiled code, and executing the compiled code to generate an output, wherein the output comprises one or more results from execution of the compiled code. In some aspects, the method can also include steps for providing a results window to the user, the results window displaying at least one of the results from the execution of the compiled code, and providing a visualization window to the user, wherein the visualization window is associated with a progress timeline and wherein the visualization window is configured to display an animation of the at least one of the results from execution of the compiled code.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for an application thinning mechanism are described. The thinning mechanism can select a subset of components from a universal application to assemble an application variant to be distributed and installed to a specific type of devices. The universal application may include every component, such as asset, resource or executable, built/developed for targeted device attributes to install one common application to multiple devices. For example, the thinning mechanism can use a trait vector associated with a type of devices to iterate through the components and identify assets to be included or packaged into in each target device specific application or application variant.
