I need some advice from you guys.
I might soon be teaching a child about computer programming and am
considering using Free Pascal as the first language. The problem is
the child is a distance away from me and I want a way to see his code
as he types and help him along by moving his cursor and sending him
snippets or correcting his code while he watches, all done remotely
along with two way voice chat.
I need some sort of tool to help with this. I could simply use Skype
and set him up to allow me to occasionally take control remotely, but
I am wondering if there might be a better way?
What do you people think?
I was considering writing a small cross platform desktop text editor
type application that would forward to me the text and cursor location
as he types, and allow me to change his text and highlight text and
move the cursor. That wouldn't be very difficult, but I would need a
separate program for VOIP, and I also might want syntax highlighting,
code completion drop downs, compile functions.
Again, do you people have any suggestions?
If you're doing this with Windows on both sides, you can use AeroAdmin
(https://www.aeroadmin.com/en/) to remotely see (and even assist) his
remote screen. I use this as a remote support tool...
You still would have to use Skype for the voice communication though,
but that can run just in the background.
