What hardware (and software?) would allow me to actively use Python whilst commuting on public transport?
It's important that I practice actively; I don't learn well when learning is passive (e.g., podcasts or reading)
The suggestion should:
- be small enough that I can use with one hand (for when standing)
- allow Anaconda to be installed (i.e.,
scikit-learn
,pandas
,numpy
,matplotlib
, etc.) - allow the storage of CSVs which can be read by
pandas
- allow the storage of offline Python documentation (to use when underground)
- not be too costly
Currently, I have an Android phone and an Amazon Fire tablet.
Context: I have a kid, and I am no longer finding the time to develop my technical skills out-of-office. I am not being given a broad enough range of projects to hone new skills, and I cannot practice unrelated skills on-the-job since it would visibly affect my productivity. The only deadtime I see remaining is my commute (on public transport).
