Any coding apps for Windows Phone?

[Windows Central Question]

I'm looking for an app that can program in languages like C# or Java, for example. I am sorely disappointed that iOS and Android have tens of apps for programming (i.e. Codeanywhere), but Windows Phone has none (except for 'TouchDevelop', which appears to crash/use a strange language that's just a building block to help absolute beginners get started).

I tried searching for some, but all I got was a bunch of results saying how to code for Windows Phone.

Unfortunately they're none that I know of, but let's be honest here. Why would you want to program on your phone? If you want to program efficiently you're better off with a large screen laptop or a desktop. I know I can't program without two monitors (or perhaps an Ultrawide monitor, it's in my wishlist right now )

Can you recommend a good beginner's programming book for C#? I've looked online and in book stores, but reviews and prices vary a lot. Thanks.

Actually something even better, you just need a Microsoft account and off you go It's like being in a classroom (minus the asking the teacher thing ) As long as you know your linear algebra you'll be fine with this course

No problem You'll learn just about anything in Microsoft Virtual Academy, after you're done that the same author offers a quick start to Windows Phone 8 programming (you have to learn C# fundamentals first.)

Also check out Channel 9. Bob Tabor has a bunch of video lessons there as well. They also have an app to keep up with all the new videos and news from the site.
