About Live Coding Lessons

Live coding lessons are interactive lessons that help students practice new coding skills right in their browsers. With live coding lessons, students can write code, test their work, and see the results immediately.

Please note, however, that code written here is not saved. That being said, this means that by refreshing the page, students can return to the default code that's provided.

We have two types of live coding lessons: 

  • Client-side live coding (used in JavaScript, HTML, and Phaser courses)
  • Server-side live coding (used in Python, C++, and C#) 


In order for live coding lessons to work, you may need to ensure your school allows certain domains. You can find a list of those domains here.
