Can I install Visual Studio Code on an iPad ?
Hi I am trying to install Visual Studio Code on my 12" iPad Pro - so there is pleanty of poke there. I find the Visual Studio Code downloads and I click on Down Load for Mac and I get a zip file...

Because as Darren Parkinson said, the iPad is not a full laptop replacement. The current generation Surface is.
So no, you cannot use VS code on the train (yet). However, you can edit your files in any plain text editor that you can get to run on your iPad. :-)
Thanks. Yes, precisely. There are some IDEs available for iPad, such as:
- Continuous for C# development http://continuous.codes/
- And if you fancy programming Swift for your iPad, you can use Swift Playgrounds

Potentially someone with the appropriate skill and inclination could create a version of VSCode for iPad, who knows.
