I think using an iPad for programming like this is okay, for a slightly more mobile approach than carrying a laptop around. But I'd want to warn students and new programmers: don't get an iPad as your primary device. You need to learn how to write code on Mac, Windows, or Linux, or you'll be counting yourself out of consideration for most job opportunities. I'm sure this guy has prior programming experience with more traditional hardware, but has learned how to integrate an iPad into his job specifically. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying don't hold yourself back from the start just because you can technically write code on an iPad and iPads are cool.
I learned to code on a terminal..... The iPad is light years beyond those. Back then a big upgrade was going from a green screen to amber. Those were nice.
raboox9 I remember them but never had to use them. I used to work in a building in downtown Phoenix called ‘the punch card building’ because of its tall narrow windows scattered seemingly randomly on the white, concrete side (it was also curved).
This is so cool! I'm deeply embedded in the android ecosystem, but I like to check up on my iPad counterparts since I just love mobile computing. This series is exactly what I've been looking for! I wanted to see people pushing the mobile tech to meet their needs in all sorts of interesting ways. You do exactly that and more. And your automation creation skills are the stuff of legend. I look forward to the rest of this series. And if you do decide to make another one, or even go more in depth in the categories you previously described, I'll definitely be there. Thank you for pushing the envelope. Thank you for being thorough. And thank you for being you. God bless you.
I can’t recommend a Raspberry Pi 4 as best accessory for iPad enough. Not only can you power the device from the USB-C port of the iPad Pro. But they are small enough to keep out of the way in the house and have local backups, file storage, and desktop class needs. You can VNC into it from the iPad or even SSH into them with “Shelly” if you like console commands. If your company has O365, setup a private channel in Teams and link O365 in there as a webpage. You can tap this and have full access to the desktop class versions of Word, Excel, Outlook, and well everything MS Office. 👍
Disagree. You can do "REAL" work on any iPad. you might have to be a bit creative and find work-arounds and such. But you can do any work that you want. I use my iPad Pro as a front-end terminal to my Linux LAMP Stack Server. With the Jump Desktop that Chris suggested, you can even remote manage Macs and Wintels. What "REAL" work are you talking about. Give example plz.
Of course, you can do anything you want, but how efficient it is? I can imagine how painful it is to do coding with iPad, like, you don't have a decent coding software like VCode, and the code don't even run properly in the iPad, that means you only write the code, but can't test it out immediately.
@Nick Carter I believe you misread my comment. I support the idea that you CAN do real work from an iPad. @Stephen C it’s not always about the efficiency, but the joy of working from your preferred device. And efficiency comes over time. I’m a professional photographer and web designer. I built my workflow on a Mac, and switching to an iPad exclusively was definitely a process and a learning curve, but it forced me to be even more creative (which was great for my field of work) and now I’m just as efficient if not more than I was on my Mac.
@@SlaydrXD Maybe someone does enjoy using iPad for these purposes. But I find it kind of funny when someone said be "more creative", such that an iPad can do anything. It means: Yes, iPad does not fit for that purpose, but I push it hard, very hard... so that it finally does fit.
I recently got an iPad Pro and really dig your channel. You've helped me out with a lot of cool additions and modifications. How the heck did I not know about Working Copy!! OMG this is such an amazing app. Thank you for all you do!
I’m enjoying watching the series. I came across the channel as I’ve been searching for productivity videos on using the 2020 iPad Pro (which I have) and intend to use to create for a business I want to create. Although it isn’t IT this series is really helpful with seeing alternatives to the iOS standard in regards to productivity. Thanks and can’t wait to continue watching!
LOVE the videos, my Mac book pros collecting dust even whe I had first iPad, iPad pr 12.9 M1 love it, one day ill get the terabytes wow you’re a true professional I’ve been learning so much from youre’ videos THANK YOU!!
Really enjoying this series - sorry late to the party as usual. Smart IT guy (that can’t spell) working with our fav hardware ever (well 2010), that beaut iPad Pro. And wow, mention of RSS, the best way for busy people to aggregate their interests - and the yep, we”re now subscribing to this channel that way. No time a-wasting on that Bird and FB.
Very nice series indeed, I enjoyed watching it when it first released, and now, when I am trying to come up with the list of apps in preparation to new 2024 iPad released versions, so I can make a switch to iPad only setup. I would love to see a sequel on the same topic, but like Season 2023, where you can share what changed or what is new in the apps you are using now...
Chris, great to see fellow IT guys and youtuber producing such good content. Really like Writing code apps. Still looking to find a way to actually compile the code on ipad (java basically)
Great video! Each time I watch any of your videos I’m amazed how you were able to make it work on the iPad. Would love to learn some shortcut stuff because of your vids.
Great video, I’m really enjoying this series as I’m trying to move more from my pc to my iPad. Thank you for the coding part, I was never sure of the code editors on iPad, definitely going to check out Textastic and Working Copy!
There isn't a lot of videos on it because you can't run programs on the iPad. UInless I am missing something but if you want to write code on the go (seriously) you shouldn't use an iPad. There is a reason why he didn't show him opening those HTML files.
I think what he's trying to show is that the iPad Pro is a fantastic substitute for a laptop. But you are right, it's easier to do stuff using a fully-fledged OS.
@@flip__ which I think is a valid compromise for a much more portable system with a much longer battery life (in comparison to my PC laptop). And one with touch input that is actually good (in comparison to most touch screen laptops on the market from what I’ve seen).
I know for a fact that as a Student,Note taking has never felt so good! iPad is wroth the money if you buy an Apple Pencil as well as some Note Taking apps!
OneDrive is a good files option for iOS. Specially as it is so highly integrated into office. And if you are also a windows pc user, or an android/iOS user, OneDrive is really well supported in those platforms.
Great stuff. I‘m also an admin and creative worker and want to figure out the best way for daily workflows. Now the new ipad m1 with new possibilities is out, so I‘m rethinking the idea to work only with an ipad. I subscribed your channel. 👍
My first video from your channel and it was great! Small suggestion, I found the background music nice, but it was a little distracting from your awesome content.
Christopher, very nice talk on the iPads capabilities. I'm thinking about switching from other widespread systems after 30 years to iPad as my main "computer" as my requirements changed a lot towards mobility and essentially editing and storing photos on cloud and various hard drives. Could you briefly comment on the drive size and why you use the 1TB version and for whom you think it's necessary? Thanks a lot in advance!
I found CodeSandbox works really well with ipad. It can be installed on home screen. I think it’s much more productive way to work with code, because it has full support of TypeScript (type hints, type errors etc.), GIT, npm, Jest and so on. The main problem with CodeSandbox is that its feature of previewing working version of code is limited to some pre installed boilerplates like Create React App. But if you write a lot of unit tests it should be fine for some part of work.
This is so interesting ! Thanks . I want to learn this .. where do i start ( I laughed at the excel joke by the way ) what external drive are you using for the iPad ?
This series is great! Very helpful. I use my iPad for work, too. Not sure if pet 2 was as helpful given the different nature of my job but it would be great to see an in depth analysis of the MS products on iPad. I was surprised there was no discussion of OneDrive, for example, as a comparison to DropBox and iCloud, sine many companies use that service and the UI actually seems better than the iCloud UI. Looking forward to the next episode on productivity.
I like how you explain what you use, but it would had been nice if you had shown how you use the iPad, like a narration while you are working on the iPad.
I am a fan now. Thanks for introducing to me to working copy. I wish there was something to run docker as well. It would have been amazing. Also is there a way to connect to multiple VPN together ther?
I have an iPad Pro w/ the Magic Keyboard. And i really love it. But i would never use this for coding unless it received a proper coding environment. You are doing simple things like updating static site templates which i guess this works for that... but it means you are pushing your code everytime you want to preview it on the browser. How are you testing before pushing? How are you running the code locally? If my company found out i was pushing code directly to our servers without testing locally they would probably fire me. Software companies like mine have an entire process for QA, and devops. How do you compile your code? How do you utilize CLIs for a framework like Vue, or React.js using an iPad?
You showed writing code, but how do you TEST/RUN the code via the ipad? Are you doing this via a VM and JumpDesktop? A web-based service (such as Coder)? Something else? Thank you for the video series!
This is great! You’ve inspired me to ditch Dropbox and just use iCloud. I had been paying for 2TB on each service. I still need to use OneDrive for work, but that does make it easy to keep work stuff separate from my personal stuff.
Christopher Lawley i don’t know about working, but for school and task management it is just perfect 👌By the way, please, can you tell me, is changing icloud on iphone possible and is this a hard process?
I use my iPad for work and personal use. This is bar far my favorite device I own and I love that I can be so productive and organized with a device I love and not one I’m forced to use!
I would be so scared to push anything before running it locally and confirming all of my changes. Do you have a way to verify things on the iPad? Honestly for front end apps the two things I'm missing the most are a terminal app for npm/webpack and a desktop browser's dev tool. The inspect Browser and play.js apps get close, but so far I can't see myself using those for anything but following tutorials or messing around with toy projects. Then finally, one other nice to have would be if the iPad extended to external monitors, instead of just mirroring displays.
I am using my ipad pro for most of what I do at work... I still have my windows 10 gaming PC for many of my tasks and connected to my ultrawide monitor and gaming monitor... Would love to be able to print via USB (maybe soon)
Nice and informative video but,As a student for software engineering i love coding and working on proyects on mac os, why would u want to do all ur work o an ipad anyway? Whats the advantage here?
How can you use an iPad as a Network Admin? Your job's core is the world of Windows. Can you please explain, I would love to do the same if it is possible with iPad? So you are not using Windows at work at all?
That's a lot of efforts you've put into making these series, good job! Though I trully like the way people like you experiment with their workflows and try to replace their daily work routines with something more elegant, it doesn't make sense for me as a developer how the device like iPad Pro can be thought as a true repacement for coding device. Being a digitally ascetic myself I've spent a lot of my time figuring out a lightweight approach for doing my code tasks, but in the end it just feels that the iPad OS was not meant to be developer friendly from the gorund up. IMO maybe some bare bones simple code editing (looking at it strictly from the plaint text editing perspective) can fit here, but not the real dev stuff (debugging, refactroing, dev environment, docker etc.). Nevertheless, I like your work, cheers ;)
Chris. I have small team for my business so I can’t use iCloud Drive. I currently use Dropbox, but it doesn’t support the files app. Any suggestions on a cloud storage app that works with the files app?
I’m curious why you chose an iPad over a normal laptop, is it because you travel a lot? I personally find it difficult to spend a lot of time on a small screen.
How do you test your code? Do you need to push the change everytime you make a small change in the code? In Windows you can just open the browser one monitor, code in the other, CTRL+S save and refresh the browser. How do you do this in ipad?
Hello! Nice content. I am data engineer that works with python and data pipelines. I work with MacBook Pro 13 inch, but I want an iPad Pro for my own productivity (mainly to develop data projects). What do you think about that? Again, nice content and congratulations! Take care!
Great video Chris!! Question do you have a video explaining the “block.com” service? I can’t find anything online and I bet is because I am typing the incorrect information in google. Can you give a link to some resources so I can read about it? Thanks ahead of time.
my problems are 3: I miss some Office for Windows features (but I manage); share screen with Microsoft Teams (we use it at work) is complicated; and when coming to coding, I was not able to use iPad Pro to code with html, js, css, php.. I thought Textastic was just an editor, but if it runs as an IDE.. what languages do you use? how do you run the scripts? really looking forward for the next vid!!!
Coding on ipads is a disaster. It is doable but it is just not worth it. I tried pythonista for writing and running python code on ipad pro. All I can say is it is too limited. For instance, it does not support all the packages I need. In addition, ipads suck at multitasking. The biggest deal breaker is that ios cannot run anything from third party app in the background. If you log into a server using a terminal app, you need to keep the app on the screen or it will kill the connection in fifteen seconds. In many cases, I need to see the doc or open a browser for reference. The only way to prevent the terminal app from killing the connection is to use split screen, which makes everything so cramped. Not to mention that split screen only supports two apps at once. After some trys, I just give up and use a mac or pc or whatever.
I use my iPad Pro every day. It allows me to do a big part of my daily work. But there is one big issue I have with it: terribly slow file transfer rates!!! I use a ssd disk that performs really well on macos. Unfortunately, on iPadOS it's almost impossible to copy large files (several GBs) from the iPad to the ssd. Do you have slow transfer rates too?
Great Video!, but the Excel in iPad its limited. You cant use dinamic tables or segmentation. Its Work if you check the document or edit some cells, but no more. The same thing for Word and power point. I hope, in the future, apple will get better this apps. (sorry for the English)
Same situation as you - was looking into replacing Dropbox with iCloud, but you can’t stream videos with iCloud. That’s pretty much a showstopper for me.
Hey, Chris. Being able to write code on the iPad (with Textastic for example) is one thing but it is of little use if you can't render it. Any suggestions on how to display a local html file on the iPad?
So I work an outside sales job where the company gives me an iPad to use in the field. It works great for 95% of my work, but the other 5% of absolutely essential day to day activities must be done on a Windows computer through the company's VPN. Is there a way to access this sort of thing through an iPad?
Cool! But why though? Seems like a lot of workarounds and ”forcing to make it work”. Why not just use macbook? I own both iPad and Macbook and can’t see myself using ipad for anything productive other than Apple Pencil stuff, since everything is easier on macbook.

I think using an iPad for programming like this is okay, for a slightly more mobile approach than carrying a laptop around. But I'd want to warn students and new programmers: don't get an iPad as your primary device.

Looks like self-hypnosys
I learned to code on a terminal..... The iPad is light years beyond those. Back then a big upgrade was going from a green screen to amber. Those were nice.
I learned to code in vim.
My iPad is the best mobile ssh client as long as I didn’t need to handle UI that day

This is so cool! I'm deeply embedded in the android ecosystem, but I like to check up on my iPad counterparts since I just love mobile computing.

Being a digitally ascetic myself I've spent a lot of my time figuring out a lightweight approach for doing my code tasks, but in the end it just feels that the iPad OS was not meant to be developer friendly from the gorund up. IMO maybe some bare bones simple code editing (looking at it strictly from the plaint text editing perspective) can fit here, but not the real dev stuff (debugging, refactroing, dev environment, docker etc.). Nevertheless, I like your work, cheers ;)
Chris. I have small team for my business so I can’t use iCloud Drive. I currently use Dropbox, but it doesn’t support the files app. Any suggestions on a cloud storage app that works with the files app?
Thanks for sharing. Pretty good video.
I’m curious why you chose an iPad over a normal laptop, is it because you travel a lot? I personally find it difficult to spend a lot of time on a small screen.
Are you still using textastic or has it changed? JW, I will be switching over to an iPad only workflow and textastic seems promising.
how do you make your ipad has a windows UI UX?
How do you test your code? Do you need to push the change everytime you make a small change in the code? In Windows you can just open the browser one monitor, code in the other, CTRL+S save and refresh the browser. How do you do this in ipad?
Thanks for the videos! Very informative!
Hello! Nice content. I am data engineer that works with python and data pipelines. I work with MacBook Pro 13 inch, but I want an iPad Pro for my own productivity (mainly to develop data projects). What do you think about that? Again, nice content and congratulations! Take care!
Looking forward to Part 3!
How often will these episodes come out? Loving the series 😁
Whenever I get them finished. But with iPadOS 14 coming out they’ll be on the back burner for a week or two while I finish that stuff.
Great video Chris!! Question do you have a video explaining the “block.com” service? I can’t find anything online and I bet is because I am typing the incorrect information in google. Can you give a link to some resources so I can read about it? Thanks ahead of time.
Nestor Torres I think he’s saying blot.im
my problems are 3: I miss some Office for Windows features (but I manage); share screen with Microsoft Teams (we use it at work) is complicated; and when coming to coding, I was not able to use iPad Pro to code with html, js, css, php.. I thought Textastic was just an editor, but if it runs as an IDE.. what languages do you use? how do you run the scripts? really looking forward for the next vid!!!
Coding on ipads is a disaster. It is doable but it is just not worth it. I tried pythonista for writing and running python code on ipad pro. All I can say is it is too limited. For instance, it does not support all the packages I need. In addition, ipads suck at multitasking. The biggest deal breaker is that ios cannot run anything from third party app in the background. If you log into a server using a terminal app, you need to keep the app on the screen or it will kill the connection in fifteen seconds. In many cases, I need to see the doc or open a browser for reference. The only way to prevent the terminal app from killing the connection is to use split screen, which makes everything so cramped. Not to mention that split screen only supports two apps at once. After some trys, I just give up and use a mac or pc or whatever.
I use my iPad Pro every day. It allows me to do a big part of my daily work. But there is one big issue I have with it: terribly slow file transfer rates!!! I use a ssd disk that performs really well on macos. Unfortunately, on iPadOS it's almost impossible to copy large files (several GBs) from the iPad to the ssd. Do you have slow transfer rates too?
Can you run code right in texastic?
Hello, is there any postgresql and mysql clients that you recommend for iPad?. Thanks, Great videos!
Great Video!, but the Excel in iPad its limited. You cant use dinamic tables or segmentation. Its Work if you check the document or edit some cells, but no more. The same thing for Word and power point. I hope, in the future, apple will get better this apps. (sorry for the English)
Same situation as you - was looking into replacing Dropbox with iCloud, but you can’t stream videos with iCloud. That’s pretty much a showstopper for me.
Hey, Chris. Being able to write code on the iPad (with Textastic for example) is one thing but it is of little use if you can't render it. Any suggestions on how to display a local html file on the iPad?
Great video! Any reason you'd use iCloud drive over google drive?
I was already paying for iCloud and it works great with the files app.
Great series.
This is a great series! Thank you!
You’re are my new favourite content creation, ipad and productivity youtuber (just have unsubscribed to all of them) :)
Awesome video! New subscriber here, looking forward to more videos!
Hello Christopher! Please tell me you the Stand brand and model. Thank you!!
Me with no iPad watching the file management in iPad
Hi, what's your keyboard? Thanks
So I work an outside sales job where the company gives me an iPad to use in the field. It works great for 95% of my work, but the other 5% of absolutely essential day to day activities must be done on a Windows computer through the company's VPN. Is there a way to access this sort of thing through an iPad?
TeamViewer
great if I knew what you were talking about. way over my head. I just want to know how to use my iPhone.
Cool! But why though? Seems like a lot of workarounds and ”forcing to make it work”. Why not just use macbook?
I own both iPad and Macbook and can’t see myself using ipad for anything productive other than Apple Pencil stuff, since everything is easier on macbook.
Can we run angular in visual studio code or any other IDE on ipad pro?
