  • Hi, here is my humble personal take. I just find and watch any tutorials that I need. At the end of the day, my lessons are mostly learnt by doing my own projects. You are going to like what you like anyway, if you like a certain tutor you will find out eventually. I personally like tutors who teach me what others do not, and these tutors are not big, they just upload a video or two every now and then. I search by most recent, or specific terms. Most mainstream ones like you have mentioned only teach surface stuff, not all every video, but yea, you get what I mean.









  • Lemmy share my story of trying to use ipad to code then decided not to. My reason back then was so I could code anywhere, and stay coding while in bed or living room or dining table. I can’t really remember the names of the apps I’ve used, but I have tried Replit, Codespaces, Google Colab, CodeSandbox, even thought of setting up code editor on vps, remote desktop…

    What I really ended up doing is… buy a tablet monitor with a friggin long hdmi cable

    My problem is solved, my butt is not stuck on the chair, my neck and shoulders thank me. My wallet will thank me soon, since the upfront cost is higher. I have the computing power of a desktop and my files are already there, not to forget better privacy as I do not have to pay for subscription services with my card and don’t involve cloud services. The only downside with this approach is I can’t code outside of the house without an internet connection.

    Laptops can achieve the same, but I find it heavier since I want to lie on my back. Sorry if this is out of topic, since you ask about ipad and I said I ended up using a monitor. Also, I am currently thinking of portable mini pc or windows tablet but it’s more expensive than a small monitor. Please do update if you found your solution, I might try it.
