workspaces/console

If I scroll down when I am in my workspace, I see and area that says,"console". What is that all about? Thanks

The console is used for server-side languages like Python, Ruby, and (hopefully soon) Node.js. If you take the courses on Ruby and Python, you'll learn how to use it.

You also have a console in your browser that you can use to interact with JavaScript on the client-side.

Hi Maryann, The console is used for Javascript, as well as other server languages. I believe it's an emulator.

In this case console is actually a terminal interface to the underlying Linux Virtual Machine (VM) and bears no relation to the similar concept you see in a browser.
