Browse, search, or tap a word in the code to open its article. • SQL: 202 queries (JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, data types); more than half run on a real practice database. • Run in the app: the output appears directly below the code, no IDE or compiler needed. More than 85% of examples run. Requires an internet connection; up to 80 runs a day. • Search covers the code itself, not just titles: type a fragment you remember and find the example. • Edit examples or add your own; your changes and additions are saved in the app. • Everything except running code works offline: examples, reference, search, favorites. • Easy on the eyes: light and dark themes, your choice of font and size, line numbers, and long lines that wrap instead of spilling off the screen. Examples are curated from professional sources and checked before release: the code works and is easy to follow. Built by a developer for developers. The CodePro project has been in active development since 2015.

Use your mobile device as a web server! Access static websites from a computer or other mobile device.

Choose "Serve in TinyServer" • In the app, tap "Choose Folder", tap "Select" in the navigation bar, select a folder and tap "Open" in the navigation bar • on iPad, you can have the files app and TinyServer side by side in multitasking. You can drag and drop folders to the top of the TinyServer interface.  Keep in mind that this way creates a copy, so if you change the files you have to drag them to the app again to see the changes. IMPORTANT: The web server cannot run in the background. Keep TinyServer in the foreground and the device unlocked. If you do change apps, the web server will restart automatically when you bring the TinyServer app back to the foreground. TinyServer only works on local WiFi. The web server is not accessible via a cellular network connection. It is meant for static files, so you can't run e.g. a PHP or Ruby on Rails backend from it.
