Hi everyone I am looking to do more work based in the cloud, so I have more flexibility and can use virtually any computer to do my work on. So, my question to you is what is a good text editor for the cloud?
I currently do my development on a mac using text mate. Is there anything remotely similar that anyone would recommend?
If you need to edit text files in a cloud service like DropBox, I've recently discovered Draft https://draftin.com/
It combines a clear interface focused on writing, MarkDown support for formatting and connections to Dropbox , Google Drive, Evernote and Box. Any change on the document is automatically saved back to the service it originated from. I wrote about it here http://bit.ly/g-draft
Mozilla has developed a unique app called skywriter that seems to do the trick. http://mozillalabs.com/skywriter/
Update
I have since found the following.
Code Anywhere - https://codeanywhere.net/
Atom Write - http://www.atomwrite.com/
Koding - https://koding.com
All provide good solutions Code Anywhere is my favorite thus far.
I realize this is an older post, but I wanted to chime in here:
As CarterMan mentioned, there is Koding.com which is really good. You can get private vms now and will shortly be able to access them via ssh and host private domains. Couple with their editor and community features, koding.com is a pretty cool project.
Second to that would be Cloud9 IDE. You can edit in the cloud and use the command line, though you will need to upgrade to get all the premium features. One of the cool things about this project is you can fork the repo and host it on your own machine if you like, the process took me about 5 minutes to get up and running.
Previously I noticed that both these projects had disconnect issues in the past but more recently they've both seemed to become more stable.

I'm new to programming in general, and I'm currently working on a little game project in Python + pygame. One day I might want to work on my laptop, and the other day on my desktop.
How could I make it so that I can continue on my code from whatever computer I'll be working on?
You could compare it to working in the same document in Google Drive, from whatever device you want.
I've seen services like Github, Google Cloud Code, Microsoft Azure... could they be what I'm looking for?
Would it work storing my project folder in something like Microsoft Onedrive?
GitHub is exactly what you are looking for :)
Google: Version Control Systems
Try github desktop.
It works very well for me.
I'm starting to research and learn Azure Functions. Specifically I need to learn about webooks.
This video uses a template; https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/videos/create-a-web-hook-or-api-azure-function/
I have seen this in other tutorials/post on setting up an Azure Function to handle a Github webhooks.
When I create a new function I do not have any of these templates show up. I'm assuming they may need to be uploaded but I have searched and not found any information of where they may be located and how to import them.
Are these still available to use?
Thanks!
I believe that video is quite old. You can find the latest documentation which contains quite a few quickstarts and tutorials to get you started.
Also, while you can create functions from the portal, most of the development can be done locally which is usually preferred by most. Depending on your preference, you could develop using
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio
CLI (along with any editor of your choice :D)
Also, there are a couple of supported languages from which you can choose from to develop for.
I'm very new to YouTrack and tried using it on local host under Mac OSX. My first impression on it was really stuck and can't say in words how neat and elegant was the whole user interface. I'm really loving it now and would like to adapt the UI to electrical and electronics engineering projects along with the issue tracking. So far I'm already into the play and have found plenty of useful customisable features which I can turn them into the ones relevant to engineering stuff. Now I'm moving to some intermediate skill to change the UI and got some doubts to be clarified. Here are the list of queries I've got now.
I'm now trying it on local host under Mac OSX and its running fine without any issues. I would like to install and do online testing like hosting it under siteground or goddady and use custom domain/sub domain to access it. I mean so that I can give my team the online access.
I've came across other products like team city, upsource and hub. Could you please explain in brief on each?
I will be using it for 8-10 users now and is there any option to purchase access to custom logo, private projects and ssl without upgrading to more users.
Thank you.
I wonder if this question really fall in the topic of this site and feel free to tell me if it doesn't. But anyway, here's the situation : I'm currently in college and when I'm at school, I program on my lap top, and when I'm at home, I'd like to programm on my desktop. I was wondering, what is the best way to carry my projects over from one PC to another? I currently use Visual Studio 2015.
I tought of one solution, set my VS Workspace in my Google Drive so everytime I save a project, it's carried over.
But do you guys have a better solution? Thanks for your responses! :)
I also don't know whether this question belongs to SO. Anyway, I will try to answer your question.
In situation where you program in groups, a source code management system (version control) is absolutely necessary to synchronize code and avoid conflicts. A very popular one is Git which is used in many various projects in different programming languages. For other version control systems, look at the bottom of the wiki article.
It would be too much to explain Git (or version control in general) in this answer, but the general work flow is always the same: There is a server somewhere, an when you start coding you 'check out' your project, which means you copy the most recent updates to your local machine. When you are done, you commit the changes to the server. If you want to work on another computer, you just check your project out again. When finished, commit again.
I would like to have students send me some Stata (.do) code by sharing it with me on Google Docs.
Is it possible to replace the shared with an updated version?
I don't see any option to do that in the File menu, just renaming and editing the file description.
Google Docs works well to share and correct papers, but I'm finding it difficult to share and correct anything else. Thanks for any help!
You can upload multiple versions of the same file. All the versions will be available for review later. To upload a new version, Just click on manage revisions (from where you are in your image) and a dialog will appear. Click on "upload new revision" and navigate to your updated file.
I believe gmail now let's you attach/share updated files to email via Google Drive, and it always keeps the most up-to-date version available. So you can simply update your .do file on your desktop, keep the updated version on your Google Drive, and your students should get them.

You can also consider Google Code (http://code.google.com; if you have a gmail account, you also have the Code account, or at least you can transparently create one from the main Google account), and work with your code using the standard code sharing, development and maintenance tools like Mercurial and its various interfaces. I have developed Stata code pretty much professionally, trust me that this is a much better tool than Google Docs (and any other real programmer here on SO would confirm that).
