(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Internet backbone and colocation provider Hurricane Electric announced on Monday it has opened its interactive programming site to the public after a year of internal use.
The move comes on the heels of Hurricane Electric’s new premium IPv6 tunnel broker service for intensive business and enterprise computing environments.
Users can login to the free interactive programming site using Google, Facebook or Hurricane Electric account credentials.
The site is certainly an interesting value-add for web developer and designer customers, as it offers tutorials on a range of popular programming languages including Perl, PHP, Ruby, Python, SQLite, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery and XML.
Each language’s tutorial is divided into different exercises that include an introductory explanation. Users can submit a response to each exercise, at which point the site grades the response.
The site displays an overall tutorial progress bar and indicates which tutorials have not yet been completed by the user.
For example, the HTML tutorial provides 11 exercises, covering different tag types like paragraph, header, anchor, image, line break, horizontal line and text formatting.
“Within just a few days of opening the service to the public, hundreds of people have already signed up,” said Mike Leber, president of Hurricane Electric. “The layout is clean and inviting, and the content is perfect for beginner and intermediate skill levels. we want to introduce more people to programming so that they can discover for themselves it is fun. People that already know a few script languages will find it a nice review.”
From the tutorial site, users can also access other services and utilities, like Hurricane Electric’s IPv6 certification, BGP toolkit and IPv4/IPv6 looking glass.
