Digital Literacy Launching a Workspace

At 02:20 it was described how to create a workspace without a course. But how do I get to that page first?

Do I need to go to workspaces.com? Is that the name of the website?

The "workspaces" being discussed here are the online practice environments provided by Treehouse. You should see Workspaces in the menu bar at the top of each page of this site. Clicking it will take you to the right page, as will clicking on the colored link I created in the previous sentence.

The workspaces make experimentation easy by combining a complete program build/run environment and a text editor. Plus they have a "snapshot" feature that makes it simple to share the entire project here in the forum if you need assistance.

Thank you, so I can only use workspaces in Treehouse?

That's right, these are an exclusive feature of your Treehouse subscription.

There are other kinds of integrated development environments (known as "IDE"s), some which can be downloaded and used on your own computer.

Thank you so much for the clarification
