I've written small snippets of code from my phone before, but it's usually either testing specific language syntax, or making minor tweaks to existing code in situations where I'm either learning a new language, or dealing with weird edge cases.
For full-blown development, it's not really suitable. Your phone is best used for reading technical material and watching video content.
Even if you can program on mobile, it's going to be painful. Perhaps less so with an external keyboard and SSH into a cheapo VPS instance, but you're still going to take a substantial productivity hit.
May I ask why you're going this route?
- TheRealmccoy 9y agothis is an experiment to see how conducive mobile is for learning.also hundred if millions of people around the world have a Smartphone as their only computer. is it possible for them to learn programming and make themselves better due to it?
- rl3 9y agoThat's a relief. I was really hoping the reason wasn't cost due to some unfortunate circumstance. :) For what it's worth, there's quite a few apps that teach programming or serve as reference. Some of them can run live code inline.
