what is different between force.com and force.com id

Hi Pomina,

Please find the explanation below.

Force.Com IDE: The Force.com IDE is a powerful client application for creating, modifying and deploying Force.com applications. Based on the Eclipse platform and built on the Tooling API, the Force.com IDE provides a comfortable environment for programmers familiar with integrated development environments, letting you code, compile, test, package, and deploy all from within the IDE. Much of the actual work, such as compilation, happens on the Force.com platform—the Force.com IDE performs the communication and results parsing transparently.

The Force.com IDE is open-source. You can download the source code on GitHub. We look forward to seeing how the IDE develops as the community tinkers with it!

Force.Com: Force.com is a platform for creating and deploying next-generation cloud apps. Because there is no servers or software to buy or manage, you can focus solely on building apps that include built-in social and mobile functionality, business processes, reporting, and search. Your apps run on a secure, proven service that scales, tunes, and backs up data automatically.

Hope this helps.

Please mark this as solved if it's resolved so that it gets removed from the unanswered queue which results in helping others who are encountering a similar issue.

Thanks,
