Well if you think of it, a CEO like Steve Jobs will call the PC a truck... to sell the iPad. • Computer Science = Truck • Treehouse = iPad But how do you make iPad dev tools?

> But how do you make iPad dev tools? The same way you make a real-world video editing suite work on an iPhone and have the guts to make that your seasonal and campaign: in a careful and considerate fashion without trying to be all things to all people. That said, if I had an editable Chrome dev tools on a tablet I'd be 50% of the way there some days. :) And ... Don't read too much in the car/truck comment. Eventually even smart phones will behave like supercomputers. It's just a matter of time.

  You missed the point on what I was inferring. > The same way you make a real-world video editing suite work on an iPhone and have the guts to make that your seasonal and campaign: in a careful and considerate fashion without trying to be all things to all people. It isn't about being all things. It is about a level of control you need while working. This is actually a mathematics problem namely Godel's second theorem of incompleteness which states and this is a brief description that "a system cannot contain itself" meaning that you can build a system of components but those components can't be built from inside the system. This equally applies to software. > That said, if I had an editable Chrome dev tools on a tablet I'd be 50% of the way there some days. :) Again you're conflating two issues. Not all dev tools can exist is a browser. If they do then by definition they don't exist in the browser anymore. A paradox. If your dev tools can exist in the browser alone then you definitely are using only a subset of necessary dev tools for other domains. It is obvious that you are a web dev but then I'm not and the browser doesn't cut it for me. > And ... Don't read too much in the car/truck comment. Eventually even smart phones will behave like supercomputers. It's just a matter of time. Then again you missed it. I wasn't reading into it. I was comparing how the CEO of Treehouse was dissing CS degrees because he wanted to sell his tutorials like Jobs was dissing the PC because he wanted to sell iPads.
