Very ignorant question: "development" means developing what? Applications? Web sites? mobile something-or-other? chrome plugins? If applications then for what OS? Where does the compiler run? Is this just a shell into some other server that runs the compiler?
- simon_weber 14y ago"development" means developing what? I probably should have put that in: I work on everything you mentioned, with the exception of mobile apps. I do most of my work remotely (my campus wifi is pretty good), but everything works locally as well.
- brent_noorda 14y agoSuppose I have a c++ file I want to compile. I've assumed you couldn't do that on a chromebook directly, but would need to open a terminal on some system that does run a compiler. So does developing on a chromebook require that you also have an account on some remote computer and you're using the chromebook in various ways to remote to that other development system? I.E. does most of your chromebook development come down to using it as a smart terminal?

I describe switching to dev mode and using crouton for this in my post. does most of your chromebook development come down to using it as a smart terminal That said, yes; I normally remote into beefy servers on campus. I may find myself doing more local work once I graduate, however.
