An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) - is an applicaiton that provides a selection of tools for programmers, allowing them to code using additional tools in one place

This is a snip from Visual Basic. Look at the tools you need to know. Stop where you can see some of them here. They allow a programmer to identify errors easily, convert and execute the source code into machine code and gives the programmer messages to debug problems.
