It looks interesting but I notice that the in-app purchases range from £1.57 - £23.51 per item. Which bit is £23? Seems steep given that you can write code in Notepad / TextEdit and then load it in your OS-bundled browser on a non-mobile device (laptop/desktop).
I would agree that the tablet / phone is not an ideal platform for writing software or editing code; they are best suited for content consumption.
I also notice that the app is 19MB which seems massive to me for just a text editor and reuse of the built in HTML renderer?
Hopefully this does not seem too negative - just some issues I have with it before even installing it. The other AIDE interface (for Java) seemed alright when I briefly tried it on my Xoom, but it was most effective with a bluetooth keyboard; even then I quickly found the tablet UI limiting.
The internal lessons beyond the beginning ones are $4.99 for 1 month of access or $2/month if you sign up for 1 year, so that's the price range. There are also some "explorers" that look like they're designed for learning more about some areas, mostly in terms of Bootstrap demos.

Thanks for the info. I perhaps have fallen into the trap of devaluing "app store" software given the effort needed to write it.
