wonder Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 18, 2016 #1 Have you ever taken your programming skills outdoors? How do you feel about taking your laptop out for a spin and do some coding in the open? I'm a stationary PC kind of guy, but if I had a proper laptop + time, I'd certainly would get some work done on the outside. Last edited: May 18, 2016

Beja Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 18, 2016 #2 I never used b4x with a desktop.. in fact I don't have a desktop and don't intend to buy one! Not in the open but my favorite workplace is my home office then Starbucks. I enjoy working in Starbucks because.. The environment is very healthy with many people doing the same and with students working on their projects for free! Besides the coffee!

udg Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 19, 2016 #7 Doing it outdoors hmm sounds interesting.. oh, no...it's all about programming eheheh Seriously now. It tried it a few times but found it too distracting. I need deep silence to be really productive so I tend to program early in the morning or late in the night (preferably early in the morning when the family is asleep and the phone is not supposed to ring).

eurojam Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User May 19, 2016 #12 Every year I work on several excavations, where I use B4A Programming (GPS, Mapping and so on). I have a very simple office there, some years ago it was only an umbrella, in the last year we did some investments and installed a new blue tent, which suffers a lot, from the strong wind in anatolia...;-)

Click to expand... for your laptop you probably need more juice. 19V instead of the 5V that most solar batteries deliver. edit: the voltaic @aeric pointed at does it but it too expensive if you only use it a few times a year.

giga Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User May 19, 2016 #14 @udg Hilarious!! I thought the same thing, got to get our minds out of the gutter. All of a sudden the forum took a new turn! As sorex mentioned screens and the sun don't match well. You may find yourself changing resolutions/screen styles from indoors to outdoors. More work than necessary. Last edited: May 19, 2016

Beja Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 21, 2016 #16 I have a 12 to 110 adapter so I can as well work from my car.. I use my 4g mobile data (tethering) so my phone is converted to router. Then stop anywhere and start punching the keys. I have dodge caravan so no space problem.. Call it mobile office.
