ABSTRACT
Software developers typically use multiple large screens in their office setup. However, they often work away from the office where such a setup is not available, instead only working with a laptop computer and drastically reduced screen real estate. We explore how developers can be better supported in ad-hoc scenarios, for example when they work in a cafe, an airport, or at a client's site. We present insights into current work practices and challenges when working away from the usual office desk sourced from a survey of professional software developers. Based on these insights, we introduce an IDE that makes use of additional personal devices, such as a phone or a tablet. Parts of the IDE can be offloaded to these mobile devices, for example the application that is being developed, a debugging console or navigational elements. A qualitative evaluation with professional software developers showed that they appreciate the increased screen real estate.
