More and more, I see my business moving away from Access an toward the cloud. That is simply the reality of the world we live in. People want their data accessible on any and every device and Access simply does not offer that natively.

As such, in the past few years I have been immersing myself in HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, MySQL, SQL Server and Azure, …

Sometimes, it can be very convenient to be able to demonstrate coding to fellow developers, to get help (forum postings), to collaborate, … or even just to quickly test out a concept rather than needing to setup your development environment you can use one of these tools.

Today, I thought I’d share a few online tools that enable such collaboration
