Will Developers Finally Start Coding On the iPad? 463
An anonymous reader writes "It's not so long since Apple silently dropped the restriction about iOS apps for programming — iPad owners can now code in Lua with Codea or with Python for iOS. Yesterday, a new app called Kodiak PHP brought another IDE to the iPad, this time for PHP coders. Pandodaily's Nathaniel Mott describes it as a full-blooded software development tool with comparison to other iOS apps. Cult of Mac reports that the demise of the Mac might be closer than we think, but are developers really ready to use the on-screen keyboard to do some serious work?"

Do "full blooded software development" and "PHP" belong in the same sentence?
Why yes, yes it does.
"Programming in PHP is not full blooded software development"
Whether that sentence is factually correct is a matter for discussion though.

The iPad is irrelevant, soon to be eclipsed (no pun intended) by all things Android. Arguably, this has already happened.
Arguably, you are quite disconnected from reality. :-)
