O M G Collaboration coding in the browser is SERIOUSLY cool!

JSFiddle has had this for a while.

This is really great. Infact you gave it edge over jsfiddle by providing collaborate, auto-complete and compile-as-you-type features.

There are times when I quickly want to test some idea with strings, async, linq etc. without firing full fledged VS IDE. You did an excellent job. Cheers!

But for .NET, that's what makes it neater. JSFiddle collab has been helpful, now we have it in .NET too :D

Very nice! I have a "scratchpad" project for fiddling around with things, but this might wind up a permanent tab on my browser. Less overhead than a VS project, for sure.

Try Linqpad for a scratchpad too. Don't let the linq name fool you - its great for general purpose fiddling about. It has been truly indispensable when developing on .Net. http://www.linqpad.net

I usually use PowerShell for fiddling which is often nice enough for trying out things with the BCL.

Back when I worked with .NET and Linq, I was a fan of this tool

Really nice, I can see myself using this tool. Couple of pointers - when typing fast (my usual programming speed), its going a bit awry, but I see it is trying to do some intellisense stuff.

This is perfect tool for teaching/learning coding.

Is it open source? If not, is there any plans of making it?

Is it compiled in server side?

Is intellisense case-sensitive for a reason? I typed "Console.w" and auto-complete list was gone. It works fine with "Console.W".
