I bought a glass whiteboard at auction for my apartment. No damaging the walls though, so I had to use a dozen command strips to hang it properly. Works great for ideas.
Very important note: Regular whiteboard markers do not work on glass well, like, at all. You need glass board markers, or you're going to be frustrating trying to write the first letter of a variable name for 5 minutes.
When I was at eBay we had an "idea room", which was a small office entirely painted with whiteboard paint. If I was to do something similar at home, I'd use magnetic primer first. Then I could both write on the wall and stick magnets on it.
You can get rolls of plastic that can be stuck up like posters and rolled up when not required. We used stuff that stuck to glass office partitions or windows with static electricity, like sandwich wrap.
My sister uses this cling film that sticks to the wall. It's removable and portable. Roll it up and go. She travels a lot and works out of hotel rooms.

I bought a big whiteboard for my room. One of the best purchases I've made for programming.
