Having a development environment and editor in the browser is definitely the way to go for students learning to code. Updating a browser is significantly easier and cheaper than purchasing a new machine. Kids learning to code shouldn't have to worry about specs, software installation, and OS configuration.

Nitrous, Cloud9, Koding etc... all have free tiers. We're working on Nitrous and definitely will continue to support students as best we can. We recently launched a native chrome application, and honestly with our chrome application a $200 chromebook can be a pretty amazing development machine, even for professional developers.

I am the founder of Codeanywhere, and I totally agree with ajhit406.

This is why we active support non profits like Coderdojo and Codestarter (while it was active).
