Lokal IDE vs cloud IDE

Hi all,

I've been around treehouse for a while now and finally feel like I am prepared to create a little application of my own. What I want is actually a database, that matches movies against my friends, so they can enter movies and thus create a movie database. On the other hand they can create a profile of themselves and thus enter preferences. Movies should then be matched to their preferences.

I thought about creating this with django and react.js. Any better suggestions? I only know python and JS... so PHP, Ruby and Java (which I know and despise) are out :-)

Now for the question at hand. I currently use pycharms for python and webstorms for web development (HTML, CSS and JS). My student license for jetbrain products is about to expire and thus I am wondering if I should buy one or go for cloud, koding or codeanywhere.

I really look forward to your help and appreciate any suggestion!

Thanks in advance, Shezan

Pretty much is the same which one you choose. There are other options out there (as you may know). But I would recommend c9.io which I insist is almost the same. Even when it is not the scope of the question I will dare to give this advice anyway. Use a simpler text editor i.e. Atom. It comes with lots of useful tools that can compare to those of any IDE

Hi Marco, thanks a lot for your reply. I will consider atom, as I do like the idea of a simplistic toolchain. The only problem I have with c9 is that I won't have anything offline. Do you know if this can be solved?

Thanks!
