I’m new to coding and decided to use python to start (I do have previous experience in scratch, but that barely counts) and only know a few things from school elective a year or so ago, which I’m no longer in.
I’ve downloaded both linux and python into my chromebook successfully, so I don’t need to set that up, but I do want to experiment with longer code and save it when I’m done, is there a way to have this in my browser?
There are probably some browser apps that use cookies, but I wouldn’t recommend them since cookies can be pretty unreliable. Instead, I’d recommend something with a login and persistent storage.
Do you attend an accredited educational institution? If so, GitHub Codespaces might be a good fit. They have usage limits, but the GitHub Education benefits should pretty much make them a non-issue.
If you’re open to not using a browser, you could also look into running Linux on your Chromebook, which would let you download VS Code directly. That’s pretty slow in my experience though.
No, I’m not attending one. I’ll try VS Code, thanks for the suggestion.
It might be really slow. Another option might be to start in Codespaces or similar and migrate to something else if you hit usage limits.
