Introduction

Today, Web-based applications are not launched.

On the Web, we continuously integrate and constantly iterate (e.g. Facebook’s layout).

Source-code of applications also lives on the Web in different code repositories.

Cloud computing and AJAX enables us to run things in browser which were typically run on the desktop.

Programming environments which can run inside browser.
