Description

Python is one of the most popular programming languages around. It is a common choice for general-purpose programming, scripting, data science, and more. Cloud Academy provides a wide variety of training content to help you boost your skills with Python. This Python development playground supplements that content by providing you with a ready-to-use Python integrated development environment (IDE). In addition to Python, the host has common development tools such as Jupyter Notebooks, Anaconda, pip, and git installed and ready for you to play with. Both Python 2 and Python 3 are available although use of Python 3 is strongly encouraged now that Python 2 has reached end of life status.

The playground has a safe and secure sandbox environment for you to explore your own ideas, follow along with Cloud Academy courses, or answer your own questions all without the need to install any software on your local machine. The extended duration of this playground provides you with ample time to play to your heart's content. Feel free to experiment with writing code from scratch, copy-pasting snippets in, or cloning repositories you find. Have fun in the playground!
