Re: Security of website code editor?

It doesn't have an editor because they provide a Subversion repository for you to store your code. You check out a copy (over SSL, authenticating with your password) to your local machine and make changes however you want. When you're ready to commit changes, they get pushed back to the SVN repository (again over SSL authenticating itself).

There's no editor because it's outside the scope of what they're providing. Not to mention editing code in a browser's going to be bletcherous and painful compared to what you can do outside of one (I mean even vim would look good . . . :).

I realize that, the whole point of me posting this is to be able to access and edit my code remotely WITHOUT having the appropriate software on the computer. Bletcherous, disgusting, unworthy of being looked upon, yes, but I need something for when I'm away from a suitable computer. meh.	[reply]

In that case, you can perhaps have a look at the various forms of web-based Office style programs. A good summary of what is available can be found here. CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply]

That's what USB keyfob drives are for. Put a copy of your favourite development environment on it and you're set. Between that and a business card sized Linux CD of your favourite flavour you'll be good to go pretty much anywhere. And you could setup an SSH Java applet somewhere for that small percentage of boxen you wouldn't be able to use that on.	[reply]

i just got a USB drive the other day too! :-D excellent...I can't believe I didn't think of that. Will Knoppix come in one of those business card sized CDs? or better yet, go onto a USB drive so i can run it from there? meh.	[reply]
