Having to use the commandline to build the project after you save your work can be an issue for some. Even for those who possess the technical literacy to develop software in this way, it can still be a time-sink to have to manually build the project every time you save something. This isn't just a Tweego issue, it's something that affects programming in general. | Having to use the commandline to build the project after you save your work can be an issue for some.

The solution to commandline use and manual building it to use an Integrated Development Environment (or "IDE"). An IDE automates and encapsulates many tools and tasks, making your workflow more efficient. Typically file management, text editing, and in many cases even version control are all brought together into one graphical tool. | The solution to commandline use and manual building is to use an Integrated Development Environment (or "IDE").

Additionally, most IDEs provide "autobuild" functionality. That is, whenever you save a file, the IDE detects this and rebuilds your project so that it is immediately available for testing, without having to tab out to a command prompt and build the project by hand. | Additionally, most IDEs provide "autobuild" functionality.
