It's a good idea coding on cellphone?

I own a low quality laptop and I wanna learn and apply a bunch of new things. Should I start studying now while I don't get a new pc or better I don't pratice my knowledge until there?

Small codes or snippets I think are okay to do on mobile, but you will need a full IDE eventually. In the mean time I would suggest Sololearn's Playground, its nice 👌

Hey Mylenna Braçale Yes It’s A Good Idea To Code On Your Phone Because The Thing Matters Is Knowledge Whatever You Know You Will Code Same On Either Your Laptop Or Mobile So Don’t Worry And Enjoy Your Coding In Your Mobile Phone.

Hey @Mylenna Braçale, I code in Sololearn most of the time but coding using a full IDE is the best. If your computer is really slow it will take some time to install the IDE. For small snippets you can use Sololearn but for making applications with Django and all you need to use laptop.I make Django apps using my computer.I am using Pycharm as the editor. It is great. I suggest Pycharm for big programs.

For learning purpose..i would say yes.. But if you have pretty much knowledge and you want to develop something then its not possible with just a cellphone..

Mylenna Braçale I honestly code here in SoloLearn using my phone 90% of the time for practicing what I've learned and making tiny programs. When I want to create bigger programs, I would use my laptop. Whatever you are learning, SoloLearn has a "coding playground" where you can practice coding. In the meantime, you should start here to practice.

i actually complete a project from my old android L phone about a week ago, because a had no choice at the time. the experience is... meh, not bad but not good either. you wont have any advantages of having an actual keyboard, and need to setting up vim(the editor i used) from the ground up to met the minimum standard that i used to with vs code is it a pain ? in coding part, not really its just different editor with touchscreen keyboard. no fancy gui though, everything done in terminal but its easy to get used to it. setting up vim is a pain on its own, i never seriously using it. so i kinda blind when the plugin start to coming in. good thing its only need to be done once, and quite easy once you get the hang of it
