Eclipse IDE and Git Collaboration Tools
At SummerTech, our collaboration tools let campers and counselors share work and information. The Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) gives campers an interface where they can write code and work together. Plus, Git lets them create backups and different versions to share during the course.
