Get hands-on experience right from your browser

Hi [name],

When you’re trying to learn a new technology, it’s always best to get hands-on. But setup takes time, and you still have to figure out where to start. With O’Reilly, you can dive into a real cloud account or live dev environment right from your browser—no configuration required.

Interactive labs guide you through how a technology works within a live dev environment or a real cloud account so you can recognize how to solve issues you might encounter in the real world.

Interactive challenges prompt you to try applying the skills you’ve learned within real dev environments, but without the hand-holding you get in a lab (only hints if you get stuck).

Interactive sandboxes offer unguided access to preconfigured live environments so you can practice on your own, without any concern for disrupting your organization’s systems.
