I'm in a bit of a bind because I don't have a laptop for coding and I'm not able to buy one right now. I'm wondering if it's feasible to learn coding and do projects solely on a mobile phone. Are there any good resources or apps that could help with this?

You can definitely learn to code on your phone! There are online platforms where you can type and run code. Check out apps like Pythonista for Python coding, but it's not the most convenient solution.
If you're serious about coding, I suggest saving up for an old or refurbished laptop. You don’t need something powerful; even a basic one that can run a browser should work well enough. It's a lot easier than coding solely on a phone.
I got a ThinkPad T420 for free, and it's easily quick enough for C++! Plus, it keeps distractions down.
Coding on a phone can work, especially if you connect a keyboard for a more comfortable typing experience. But honestly, you'll find it really tough for extensive projects. A laptop would be so much better in the long run.
It's possible to learn coding on mobile, but it might be quite challenging. Many apps let you practice coding basics, and working on stuff like Google Colab could be beneficial, especially for data-related projects. Just remember, it might be harder to do everything you want without a proper computer.
There are certainly compilers and coding apps you can use on your phone, but they can be quite limited compared to using a laptop. If you can, try to get a cheap used laptop for a smoother experience.
I appreciate the suggestion! I'll look into those options.
