1,426 PointsCoding on a Chromebook
So, I'm just beginning to teach myself coding as I'm preparing to enter graduate school for Human Computer Interaction. I have an iMac and a Chromebook. I started using Sublime Text on the iMac and think it's a really great product for my needs. However, I'd also like to practice coding on my Chromebook and am having a really difficult time understanding cloud-based IDEs. It seems they are requiring me to enter server information ect, before I'm even able to code! I am unaware of what most of this information even is. I just want to practice for now on my chromebook. Any suggestions?

2,826 PointsNice. Do you really have to change the OS? I thought that chromebooks natively run on a Linux distro.
I hear you can get a terminal open in them, so could you just install SublimeText and the compass gem?
