Sandbox and Lab Environment

JavaScript, like any other programming language, is best learned by working hands-on with code.

Easily try code with our "Try it Yourself" editor.

Here, you can edit JavaScript code and view the result:

If you want to explore more and host your JavaScript project, we have a feature called Spaces that allows you to build, test and deploy static websites.

Here you get a secure sandbox environment called Spaces, where you can practice coding 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

JavaScript Certification

W3Schools offers an end-of-pathway certification program.

Here you can take exams to get certified.

The JavaScript exam is a test that summarizes the W3Schools JavaScript syllabus.

After passing the exam you get the "Certified JavaScript Developer" Certification.

There are two different types of certifications:

• Non-adaptive
• Adaptive

The non-adaptive is pass or no pass.

The adaptive certification is adaptive and graded; students will get a grade from intermediate, advanced to professional.
