* What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is from May 19 - August 22; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (27 June); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.

* Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.

Till Week 0 : I have been looking into existing interactive web based code compilation platforms. We can use NodeJS’s child_process api compile and execute any language code including JS.
Week 1 - 2 : Complete the basic UI of the web based code editor and the virtual commandline tool. Write the server code using NodeJS that is to be installed on the local server. The web UI will communicate with this server using JS & jQuery.
Week 3 : Add support for creating local repositories/folder and saving codes to files.
Week 4 - 5 : Create the GUI tool for teacher to make step by step tutorials. These would be stored in the server as JSON format so that it can be loaded on XO using the Interactive Shell.
Week 6 - 8 : Visual Debugger - Debugging skills are of greater importance than to just write the code. There will always be bugs and errors in a code freshly written. The application must have a visual debugger in the interactive JS Shell. I am thinking of using this tool for this purpose. https://github.com/adobe-research/theseus
Week 9 : Solely for error fixing and finishing up anything left from the last weeks.
Week 10 : Sanbox
Week 7 : Provision for addition of other languages.
Week 8 : Take the required security measures for the web application.
Last two Weeks : Create the minimal Documentation.
