Can you recommend a browser based IDE or programming editor ?
I feel like I've seen lots of these things drift past but when I look at my bookmarks I can only find two : http://cloud9ide.com/ and http://jsfiddle.net/
All languages are of interest (although non-JS particularly so).
I'd like to do a wide survey but don't include tools which are really just collaborative text editing - must be some sort of programming support built in (even if it's as bare bones as syntax colouring)
Thanks
Also I recommend you read this article: http://eclipse.dzone.com/news/who-needs-online-ide
It links and describes a lot of them, even more then those mentioned by others here.
edit: most of the ones describe in that article are dead.
Instead check out:
Full fledge IDEs:
ShiftEdit
Cloud9
PhpAnywhere
And something you can run on your own server: ACE
Actually, it looks like all online full fledged IDEs that I could find actually uses ACE at its core, and just add some nicer GUI over it and cloud support.
We've been building WIODE for some time now. Very stable release, easy install, and lots of features - [WIODE Browser Based IDE][1]
[1]: http://www.wiode.com/ "WIODE IDE"
UPDATE: WIODE has been replaced with a new project - Codiad
You missed...
jsbin.com
ideone.com
codepad.org
pastebin for PHP (good for testing PHP 5.3)
shameless plug for our solution, PythonAnywhere, which lets you code and run python apps in a browser... we also offer hosting for web apps, and our web-based console is fully functional, includes Bash for using git/hg/mercurial, Dropbox integration.
You can also code in other languages, although we don't have interpreters for everything, and you can currently only host Python webapps...
http://www.pythonanywhere.com
I've been working on one for a while that you might find interesting if you are looking for something you can install on your own server.
http://abstractionbuilder.com
It's free to use and it currently features some file management on your server, as well as real-time document editing with a nice preview.

I was just wondering what would be the best way of going about creating an iPad app. Would it be worth my while learning Objective-C or is Titanium a better option? I have never used Objective-C before but I am familiar with JavaScript. Thanks for any help provided. Also I know there are some C# converters. Has anyone used any of them?
In general, objective-C for iPhone development can learn. The IDE is xcode.
Q & A is related to stackoverflow iPhone objective-C, xcode is a related issue. I recommend to learn objective-C using xcode.
All you have javascript and jquery below to begin developing the framework is available. If the productivity is the difference between objective-c. To the code of a iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, etc. are all reusable.

https://vaadin.com/home
Under the framework of each comparison is post.

If you have a skill or ActionScript3.0 using Adobe AIR, iPhone development can be. latest IDE is FlashBuilder 4.6, Flash CS6. To the code of a iPhone, Android. reusable.
Adobe AIR
The following sites include C #-based IDE, you can develop using MonoTouch, but are paid. Easily share code between iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7.
MonoTouch
You if you're developing only games, you look at the GameSalad,. Without writing any code development.
GameSalad
If you're writing small apps that you could envision being "complex webpages", almost any framework like Titanium will be helpful - and might allow you to do it cross platform as well.
If you can envision using hardware or hardware-accelerated features like GPS, camera, or video in the future, just learn Obj-C and go from there. It'll save you a lot of anguish later when you're 80% done with the app and find out that performance is terrible, you need access to a specific feature that your framework does not support, or iOS7 comes out with a cool new thing that you need to use to stay competitive, but can't.
As a current C# developer I would recommend biting the bullet and learning Objective-C. It will only help your career by adding more valuable skills on your resume, and more exposure to other language pros/cons. There is a lot of information on the web out there to help if you get stuck along the way.

Are there any books on WiX?
Yes! A Developers Guide to Windows Installer XML (I've got it, but haven't read it yet so can't comment on the quality of the book)
However I would first say, forget about WiX initially. Your concern is Windows Installer - WiX is simply a tool to define Windows Installer databases (MSI files). WiX is no different than many other products out there, except for the fact that it doesn't try to mask any Windows Installer concepts for you. InstallShield transparently does a bunch of things that Windows Installer doesn't support via custom actions and the like, WiX forces you to think more about the Windows Installer methodology and way of doing stuff. Windows Installer is what you want to understand, WiX comes afterwards.
Second, get a copy of The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to understand how Windows Installer (MSI) works.
Third, start with the first entry in the UAC in MSI blog posts and you should be able to get a better grip on things. Best documentation I ever read in trying to understand elevation, permissions and all the other stuff that goes with UAC.
Once you understand Windows Installer, WiX is extremely straightforward. It's just a new language to express the Windows Installer concepts - trying to learn them at the same time can get very confusing, but if you learn MSI first then WiX it's simple!
There is a book now: http://www.packtpub.com/article/getting-started-with-windows-installer-xml-wix.
Before you ask, no I have not read it. :)
I believe there is one in development called "The Wix Book", but right now I'm not sure any exist.
I usually point people towards this tutorial, it gives a good overview of the features and tools available:
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/
There is also a quick introduction here:
http://ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2004/04/19/wix.html
I found a great WiX book on amazon recently and bought it. So far, very straightforward and useful.

I was taking a look on Go language, but I want to know if there is any IDE developed only for it, but that have a GUI design feature, as Visual Studio and Netbeans.
Go isn't really designed for GUIs - it's precisely designed to meet the kind of needs that Google has.
I dare say it's entirely possible to develop GUI frameworks with/in it, but it's not the team's priority as far as I'm aware.
You can also find an Eclipse plugin here: http://code.google.com/p/goclipse/
However, at the moment of writing this is still at an early development stage.
lite ide is little, cross platform and open source.you can try it.
http://code.google.com/p/golangide/
For my Go programming I use the Zeus editor. It's definitely NOT a Go GUI IDE but at least for me the gocode auto complete feature is great.
You can also use Notepad++ for now, there is a language file for it here:
http://go-lang.cat-v.org/text-editors/notepad-plus-plus/
I've been using gedit with C syntax highlighting selected and bash shell for compiling and testing. I keep the Linux version of Google Chrome browser running local copy of Go documentation. Under Xubuntu window manager I can flip the browser window up and down out of the title bar for whenever I need to look at package APIs.
Go compiles and links very fast - I'm just as productive with this set of tools as I've ever been using Java and C# IDEs. Kind of refreshing to write software with just "stone knives and bear skins".
Most of the main Go developers use Acme A programming environment by Rob Pike, it is very different from a traditional IDE, but if you are open-minded and get over the first shock, it can be extremely pleasant to use.
Use Cloud-IDE.com online editor and online deploy - All FREE !!
I believe the best options for developing Go are TextWrangler, Vim, or BBedit.

Can anyone recommend an editor (or an IDE) with good support for fortran ? Most newer editors I find and try lack language support for it.
Slickedit has Fortran Support. I can't tell how good it is, but given the good support for other langugaes, you should give it a try.
GNU Emacs has a major mode for FORTRAN.
Use M-x fortran-mode to switch to this major mode.
I have used this mode a lot and can recommend it.
I used it mostly to write a FORTRAN dialect that still requires
punched card format however.
Support for punched card input was my primary concern and I do not
know much about other FORTRAN specific functionality of this mode.
Vim has a relatively good fortran support. Maybe a little quirky with syntax highlighting, but otherwise ok.
If you're familiar with Eclipse, the Photran plugin may be what you're looking for.
Upside: it's free, cross-platform, and versatile and you get all the fun plugins that exist for Eclipse (SVN, etc.)
Downside: If you're not familiar with Eclipse, getting the build environment sorted out can be a real pain. Plus Eclipse is java-based, meaning it's bloaty, slowish, and has a crapload of options that make configuration and setup a real chore.
That said, it beats the hell out of learning either vi or emacs from scratch. Eclipse/Photran seems to work fine once you find the magic incantation to get it to compile Fortran. If you're already using make, this is a non-issue; under Windows the prospects are dicier but doable.
If you use a Mac, BBedit is very good.
I use Ultraedit (IDM.com, ultraedit.com) daily for many types of programming (F90, javascript, DCL, HTML etc). Works well. Has good FTP support and great syntax highlighting. Have not use it in conjunction with any Windows or Linux compiler. My OS is OpenVMS.

I know the blackberry has a custom IDE but if memory serves me it's quite a sub par IDE. Does anyone know if there's a different IDE out there for the device?
For 'native' BlackBerry app development (i.e. Java app development), there are basically 4 options:
RIM's JDE - pretty much a terrible
editor, but the most stable, most
feature-full (from a BlackBerry
perspective) solution.
RIM's JDE Plugin for Eclipse - you get all the
niceties of the Eclipse environment,
but there are a lot of problems.
Netbeans with the Mobility Pack - I haven't really seen anyone use this for a while, but a few developers swore by it a couple of
years ago
Custom Eclipse/JDE
environment - using ant scripts and
RIM's JDWP debugger interface (the component package section on that page). This
used to be the only way to go for
Eclipse development for BlackBerry
before the JDE Plugin
Options 3 and 4 I haven't seen used for a long time, not sure if they're still viable - though I don't see why #4 wouldn't be.
I used #4 for a long time, until RIM put out their plugin. While there are still a lot of problems with it, for me the productivity gains of working with something like Eclipse outweigh them.
So either 1 or 2, with the caveat that you should chose one or the other for your whole team, as they're really not compatible with each other (differences in project structure and how they handle resources). You can move from 1 to 2 easily, but not really the other way around.
The IDE provided by RIM is called the JDE. It is true that for many this product leaves much to be desired. RIM does support the use of Eclipse and Microsoft development environments as well so you can take your pick. Personally, I use the JDE. Don't construe this as a recommendation, I'm not saying it is the best, just what I use.
Aside from RIM's JDE, the only other option that I know of is RIM's JDE plugin for Eclipse.
The .NET plugin is very limited in what you can do, it doesn't give you much access to internal classes.
I've been using the JDE plugin and i've not encountered too many difficulties.
