Code in the cloud

Question

Is it possible to eliminate the desktop and fully code and deploy a python/django application to the cloud from within a browser? I think Heroku makes it possible to do that with Ruby on Rails but I have not come across a Python/Django equivalent.

I think there are huge advantages of developing code in the cloud. No deployment overhead, no code versioning headaches (because the cloud will track all changes anyway), access your code from anywhere, even an iPad, if you want to make a small change to your production code. I think Heroku has already proven that this is the future of web development and browser based IDEs like Mozilla Bespin are already getting some traction.

Answer 1

I'm not really sure that Heroku does that, it just a cloud space for Rails.....like phpfog (php), dotcloud (many), appengine (java, python)....

I think http://kodingen.com/ is something more like what you ask, code in the web and deploy on it.....

Haven't tried Kodingen though....
