# Overview of the EBX® Script IDE

Accessible as a built-in EBX® perspective, the Script IDE allows you to write functions, triggers, and workflow scripts using the EBX® Script Language (ESL) directly in your browser. The IDE provides significant benefits in terms of user accessibility, convenience, and efficiency. It also alleviates the need to use Java for the aforementioned tasks. It maintains the same performance, but involves less overhead as no compilation and deployment of custom modules is required. Additionally, ESL's design makes it accessible to those without a Java programming background.

The documentation for the IDE is organized as follows:

- How to guide: Similar to a quick start guide, this guide provides high level instructions on performing common tasks. This section is intended for those with programming experience or who are already comfortable with ESL.

- Tutorials: The tutorials are essentially lessons for users that don't have much programming experience and guide you through the following processes:

  - Functions

  - Triggers

  - Workflow scripts

- User interface Reference: This section highlights the IDEs UI components.
