Run your C# code on Windows Phone 7 with Pocket C#

C# programmers, this is something you might wanna download now. Being a ( C# newbie ) programmer myself, I often come up with ideas that might make my code better or sometimes I want to test a piece of code quickly, but sadly I can't carry my laptop everywhere with me. If you face a similar situation, Pocket C# is for you.


A C# development environment running in Windows Phone 7, with build and run functionality handled by an Azure-hosted web service. The C# editor has syntax highlighting, auto-indentation and code snippets to save typing on the little keyboard. There is also an MSDN search facility which reformats the content to be more phone-friendly. Code can be saved to the web service and accessed from your browser when you get to a computer.
 Pocket C# is essentially a mobile IDE ( first of it's kind ? ) which remote compiles your C# code ( console application only) and saves the code on a web service so you can access it anywhere from a browser.

Here is the application in action :


 At this moment, it is slightly limited but nevertheless filled with immense potential. The app is well worth the price. Hit the Zune link.
