Using NX for Partial Screen Sharing
iOS programming is a unique example because many of the tools needed to run an iOS application work only on a Mac. But now imagine that we’re developing a web application. The interface, a browser, can be run on just about any platform. It can even be run on a virtual machine in the cloud and shared equally with both pairing partners. That’s exactly what we’ll do in this section.
We could do the sharing via VNC, but a better solution is NX. NX makes it possible to share individual windows instead of an entire screen. For example, we can share a browser and nothing else.
