Ever find yourself on a beach without a laptop, and realize that you have to meet a development deadline? In the olden days you would have to come up with an excuse to your boss as to why you weren't able to make enough commits or get that critical functionality finished, but today all of that has changed. Today smartphones are packing power that rivals even some low budget laptops! For example, the OnePlus 3 set to be unveiled on June 14th will be packing 6gb of RAM, 64gb of storage, and a Snapdragon 820 processor all under $400! These are my top 5 tools (in no particular order) to make development on the go a lot easier!
JuiceSSH is an extremely popular all-in-one terminal client for Android. It features a full color terminal as well as a handy pop-up keyboard to make typing shortcuts a lot easier. External keyboard support and multiple other useful features make this a must-have for anyone trying to develop on an Android handset.
If you are looking for an SSH option that works on both Android and iOS as well as Google Chrome, Serverauditor is the way to go. Serverauditor offers support for a number of terminal emulators including XTerm, vt100 and vanilla. It also offers easy to use SSH key management, and includes a number of built-in security features.
Source Code Viewer is a great app for perusing through large project directories, and presenting code during meetings and colleagues on the go! It includes support for multiple languages, and also includes a file browser!
Though it might set you back $9.99, Textastic is a great portable development text editor supporting over 80 different programming languages. With SFTP, and FTP support it makes transferring files from your Mac to your iPhone or iPad extremely easy. Textastic is also great for writing markdown posts on the go!
Coda, like Textastic is a great code editor for iOS devices! It includes many powerful features including a built-in SSH terminal, support for multiple remote protocols (FTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3 etc.) and an air preview feature!
Equipped with apps like these you'll never have to come up with an excuse to your boss ever again, and will be able to enjoy that awesome beach weather!
