Using an iPad as my primary device for coding wasn’t something I thought possible until I tried it. There are a number of different ways you can use a tablet as a software development device, including things like coding apps and remote desktop.
Since I have a computer, laptop and tablet for website development, I found coding and swapping devices sort of difficult especially with the fact that most environments require me to sync github in order to get back to coding my so important HTML, CSS and JS.
So picking one device to use only, the iPad meant I tried to test out different methods for programming, and I enjoyed remote desktop the most. I technically could use a single environment with all the benefits of a super computer, but on an iPad. I used JumpDesktop to do this as teamviewer wasn’t as effective.

Can I do web development in I pad 9th gen
You could use replit
Very good video, thank you
Just got a 12.9" M2 iPad Pro and thought of using a similar setup. I would just use Tailscale to set up a VPN to my devices (at home or in the cloud). I can also use the tablet for drawing and other creative tasks, which is my rationale for buying the device.
is it advisable for a web developer student to use an Ipad as a primary device?
Is it hard to switch apps on ipad? Maybe start using the brand new alt+tab shortkeys.
the new meta scammers………. blacklisted! i want internet like 90!

Sanbox – codespaces ?
come on… ipad is an explosive toy
meanwhile me coding on my 6" Android phone, no ftp, vnc or other fancy stuff, just my phone with Python installed straight on to the device, running on my phone's hardware 😶 Sometimes I use Pydroid 3 (IDE), but sometimes I just use the terminal (Termux), or Jupyter Notebook for convenience. I also run a PostgreSQL server on my phone through the terminal and access it via a PG client ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and I don't have a laptop/PC at all :')
You need an IPad Pro 2020 or newer my dude open five split screens and get to work

I also use sometimes my iPad to remote control to my Windows machines and run my favorite IDEs, with a 12.9 it’s pretty good (I was using a Surface Pro 4 for 5 years with the 12.3’’), what I miss is the function keys like F5, F10 and F11. I used also my 11’’ inch iPad but it was very small, that’s why I upgraded to a 12.9 and for sure for the XDR display 😅
I'm using something called AnyDesk on my iPad with my Ubuntu desktop. And I gotta say, it's been a surprisingly smooth experience. Btw I use Vim
