Sandbox and Lab Environment
Programming languages are best learned through hands-on practice.
Try this Python example using our editor:
If you want to explore more and host your project, we have a feature called Spaces that allows you to build, test and run web applications for free.
Here you get a secure sandbox environment called Spaces, where you can practice the most popular code languages and test projects in real-time.
Spaces allow you to test, build, and deploy code. This includes a W3Schools subdomain, hosting, and secure SSL certificates.
Spaces require no installation and run directly in the browser.
Features include:
- Collaboration
- File navigator
- Terminal & log
- Package manager
- Database
- Environment manager
- Analytics
W3Schools Certifications
W3Schools offers an end-of-pathway certification program.
Here, you can take exams to get certified.
The exam is a test that summarizes the W3Schools syllabus for the different programming languages.
After passing the exam you get the "Certified Developer" Certification.
There are two different types of certifications:
- Non-adaptive
- Adaptive
The non-adaptive is pass or no pass.
The adaptive certification exam is adaptive and graded; students will receive grades from intermediate to advanced to professional.
Here is an example of the HTML certification exam:
