O'Reilly, the premier source for insight-driven learning on technology and business, has acquired Katacoda, an interactive technology platform that enables hands-on learning.
With the acquisition, O’Reilly is integrating interactive learning scenarios and sandboxes into its online learning solution to help its users master new technologies. Users can learn in real environments with the actual tools they would work with in production, right in their web browser. The initial set of interactive learning scenarios is available with more exclusive scenarios being introduced to O’Reilly’s 2.5 million online learning users in the coming weeks.
Interactive scenarios grant instant access to real, sandboxed environments running in the cloud, with nothing to install or configure. Nearly 100 new interactive browser-based scenarios provide developers with real-world use cases and expert guidance so they can gain the practical experience needed to quickly apply their learning to their work. Environments are preconfigured, enabling users to experiment and practice quickly without any additional setup or risks to existing systems. Katacoda’s offering will enable O’Reilly users to experiment with the technologies fueling innovation today.
