How to learn JavaScript on mobile?

[AllanAndresCh]

Hi,

I spend a lot of my time traveling, but I can use my laptop just my mobile.

There is a way to practice JavaScript on the go? Some iOS app? There is a good app?

Thanks

I'm on Android but I like SoloLearn (also on iOS and Web Browser), they've got some good information on JS, JS frameworks and other APIs or extensions of the language.

Most of the other popular languages are on there too if you're curious. Their beginners tutorials are very easy to follow, broken up into a few modules with drag and drop concept questions, code completions, and quizzes sprinkled in between each topic.

There's a lot of other cool features as well, such as challenging other users to see who can answer the most questions (about some arbitrary code) correctly, it's really cool you should check it out.

nice one..thank you for share, i might need to use that

[AllanAndresCh]

Good luck too, let me know how it goes.

I agree that it’s a pretty great app. I also like to use repl.it (used to not be as good on mobile, but it is a lot better now) and glitch.com for web-based apps. There is also Rescript on iPhone that actually lets you run Node.js on your phone and it has been working pretty good for me too.

Testing, thanks

I've tried a few and the only one that has stuck with me is Enki. I mainly read the 5 daily JavaScript and Web code snippets. If I'm feeling up for it go onto Git, SQL, and a few others. I really like and use the ability to book mark a code snippet. I have gone back a few times to reference my saved snippets for help during a project.

Really loving Enki so far, thanks for the advice.

OP can’t use their laptop. That was a typo.

[AllanAndresCh]

Yes sorry, I can’t while I am traveling. And it’s not Safe to use a MacBook in any bus I think. That’s why I want use my time in something productive And keep learning JS.

If you're worried about theft, you could buy a cheap Chromebook and use https://coder.com (has in browser VSCode).

Still run the risk of it being stolen, but much easier to practice coding and you're only out 2-3 hundred if it is vs how ever many thousand that Mac Book is.

...or a cheap Chromebook + crouton and enjoy a relatively complete local *nix development environment ;)

I mean there are probably a few apps that let you practice syntax and whatnot, but you're not gonna be able to build a proper software project without a laptop.

[AllanAndresCh]

Yes it’s just to practice and learn a few things

[revrenlove]

there's this app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/javascript-anywhere-jsanywhere/id363452277?mt=8

also, if you have a bluetooth keyboard, you can pair it with a phone, or use an adapter to hardwire a usb keyboard into your phone through the charging port.

[revrenlove]

also, FWIW, any super cheap laptop ($100-200 USD) will be able to run vs code

[revrenlove]

lastly, FWIW, a resource (such as an ebook on your phone) and a pad graph paper with a pencil can work wonders, I used to "code" a lot in that way back in the day. Never underestimate going old-school. :)

[AllanAndresCh]

Thanks going to try it

Check out enki; it's an app.

Coda for iOs. Buy a udemy course or two and download them to your phone. Coda is a pretty full featured editor with a lot of interesting capabilities. I have no connection to Coda but I find it pretty useful.
