I'm using a remote desktop app (Splashtop HD) on my iPad to monitor my MacBook Pro, which is the computer running Apple Remote Desktop to monitor my students' MacBook screens. Obviously this is not ideal, since it's laggy and requires connecting to the computer connecting to the computers. Just saying it sounds ridiculous. I could try Coda on iPad with Working Copy but it seems more complicated than just having a remote desktop to my Mac for the occasions when I need to code on the go (in the train, for example). I hesitate between Screens (which is a Montreal developed apps, where I live!) and Jump Desktop. These two seems the highest ranked on the App Store.
