Has anyone found a pleasant way of doing off-line development of Javascript on the iPad?

I'd quite like to play with it on the train to and from work, but don't get internet. This might simply be a bad idea.

Vim is already available for the iPad. But I am not quite sure you are able to test your code on the browser.

Well..I don't know about iPad. But there's an App on the Android market called Terminal IDE that lets you do programming using Vim right inside your device. It even come bundled with Android SDK.

"Yo dawg, I heard you like to program Android. So I put an IDE in your Android so you can program Android while you're using Android!"

I understand you can get Bochs for iOS, so maybe you could install a small distro inside that.

Why don't you write an offline Javascript app to do it? Use one of the javascript syntax highlighters for the editor, the localstorage api to save, eval() to run, etc.

There's an iPod/iPhone app called jsAnywhere that's free and I like it. You can create projects, have an HTML, CSS and JS file, and run it. Might not have an iPad version.

Not JavaScript, but you can play with Lua in a really nice environment with Codea: http://twolivesleft.com/Codea/

Somehow...it makes me more want to stick with Vim.

pinchyfingers• 14 years ago

I'm with you, except I'm sticking with Emacs ;-)

Visual Studio is by far the best IDE for Javascript, it actually runs the code in a VM and then use the info to offer autocomplete

Jetbrains editors probably sweep the floor with VS or any other IDE developed. http://www.jetbrains.com/editors/javascript_editor.jsp?ide=w...

khyryk2• 14 years ago

I'd say Netbeans is a comparable free option. VS isn't generally known for its JavaScript capabilities.

publicus3• 14 years ago

Have you people even tried VS2010 for js? That thing actually executes your js in real-time so it knows the exact type of variables even after re-assignment and can offer type info/auto-complete that is 100% accurate.

hugohabel4• 14 years ago

Can you please post a link to see the features of VS2010? So we can compare. Thank you.
