Many people tend to think of GitHub or gitcafe the first time.

Referring to the social programming and code hosting of software developers, many people often think of GitHub or Gitcafe at the first time. These days, do not go to GitHub or Gitcafe managed a few lines of code, are embarrassed to say that they are programmers. GitHub and Gitcafe are community based on code-hosted, where users can host code, and team members can collaborate to modify code. But project development is often complex, involving management, demo, testing, and so on, can only managed code to complete the development smoothly? I think there's obviously a better solution.

Based on this idea, job developed a developer-oriented cloud development collaboration platform, which can now implement the functions of managed code, running space, quality control, project management and so on. Job's development logic is human-centric, and users can invite other users to join their projects to build a project-based organization and work environment. When a user modifies the code, the system automatically records, generates a new version, and other members of the project team can see the code change. Job provides direct operating space without access to third-party services and runs test code directly. However, unfortunately, now only support the operation of web code, testing, temporarily unable to support desktop software and mobile phone app running. With automated programs, job can also detect code, provide a quality inspection report, and detect code that violates best practices in the project.

Socializing is an important factor in developing office synergy. GitHub or Gitcafe are essentially communities that provide a platform for farmers to communicate. Job is a collaborative platform based on public cloud, where users can communicate with members of their own project team or with members of non-project groups.

Although job and Github,gitcafe are positioned in the developer market, the logic behind it is different. GitHub, Gitcafe is a code-hosted community, and job want to do is the software development collaboration platform, code hosting is only part of the service. Job ultimately hopes to achieve a cloud-based collaborative software development, developers only need to have a browser, have an account, you can at any time, anywhere to complete the development work.

Job company was founded in February 2014, after nearly 4 months of development has completed the construction of the platform, the end of this month will be a small range of beta, is expected to open within one months.

GitHub for not open source projects will be charged, a total of 7 charges, ranging from 7 U.S. dollars/month to 200 U.S. dollars/month. Domestic Gitcafe is also starting from July 7, 2013 charges, the minimum charge of about 0.14 yuan per day, cheaper than GitHub. Job's founder, Zhang Hairong, said Job's basic functions would be free, and that the system would introduce a charging scheme when it matures, and the charging model would take into account the basic version of the free premium version. The base version is more suitable for small projects and small teams. The advanced edition will have more computing resources and more functionality. For an entirely 0-point team, the initial environmental deployment takes about a week's work and tens of thousands of dollars. Although job is charged, it is more economical than the deployment environment, and the development team can focus more on the software development itself than on the construction and maintenance of the peripheral system.

In fact, the service platform based on the managed code, the development space is still relatively limited, all need unceasing self-development. GitHub from the establishment to now has 6 years, at home and abroad have a lot of influence. Although initially targeted only at software development, it is now widening its application scenarios and services, starting to support a historical version of the 3D file format dynamic browsing, and even supporting managed open source science projects including finding terrestrial planets outside the solar system, analyzing DNA, and creating open source rockets. The domestic Gitcafe was founded by Yang Yu, formally launched in early 2012, the development process has encountered many problems. After more than a year of technology build-up, 2013 has also been trying to shift from a code-hosting community to a larger online education platform, offering products and services like Codeschool.
