I have only experimented with JAVA using processing on the ipad. But this one looks like it could work

It really isn't a good idea. You could use a keyboard for your ipad and connect to your computer with teamviewer if you don't mind looking for internet. I would recommend just bringing your laptop though because it's less of a hassle than dealing with the slow speeds of remote desktop.

For learning coding, it will most likely work just fine. To deploy actual programs and do debugging, its obviously terrible. I do agree that a laptop would be much better
