hello
Is it possible to programming everywhere in every computers only with a usb flash drive? I mean I put everything is needed for programming in one flash memory and connect it to any PC's I want to programming (regardless of pc specs).

So I am looking for a way do not carrying laptop and do programming in each computer exist in the university. But the problem is that we can not Installing anything on the university computers, also every changes will be lose after restarting!

You can create a Vitrual Machine image and run that off a fast flash drive with :

Or you can run portable versions directly off flash, see here : http://portableapps.com/[^]

That assumes you can access the VM from whatever system you're at. I think the goal is not to install anything on the system, not even a VM system.

Yes, you are probably right but it is unrealistic for anything more than a "notepad" tool like you said.

I have done this my self and it is quite good for fixing things in the field with your own "work toolbox" which you are used to.

Yes, if you use only very simple tools -- no advanced IDE, probably no version control.
