GitHub Codespaces

Check out GitHub Codespaces <a href="https://github.com/features/codespaces">https://github.com/features/codespaces</a> I have used it for learning C, Rust and Go. It even has a VSCode editor in the browser. It’s pretty easy to setup. Create a repo, add a hello_world.c, push the code, then in the UI press the green code option and select Create code space on main and then use the gcc from the terminal to compile the code.

Colaboratory

(I checked there doesn’t seem to be a straightforward way to do C in swift playgrounds. Bonus content: https://github.com/uraimo/Awesome-Swift-Playgrounds It’s a Jupyter Notebook, but you can get most things including working with C. The below link confirms C can be bound to and how. https://blog.jupyter.org/interactive-workflows-for-c-with-jupyter-fe9b54227d92 As a matter of point, iPads aren’t really set up tool wise for programming. You can force something into this niche, but you probably want a computer for coding, because a significant portion of programming is massaging the system into doing what you need.

Termius

1. SSH to VPS/homelab server using Termius[1] 2. On jailbroken iPads, UTM[2] VM running x86 linux should run great 3. iSH[3], it was quite sloppy for me, YMMV. [1]: https://termius.com/ [3]: https://apps.apple.com/pl/app/ish-shell/id1436902243.
