Technical Requirements for Optimal Learning
Our platform is built to work smoothly across various devices and configurations. We've designed everything to be accessible, whether you're coding on a desktop workstation or reviewing course materials on your tablet during a commute.
Hardware Specifications
Minimum Requirements
- Dual-core processor (Intel Core i3 or AMD equivalent)
- 4GB RAM for basic course access
- 10GB available storage space
- 1280x720 screen resolution
- Stable internet connection (5 Mbps minimum)
Recommended Setup
- Quad-core processor (Intel Core i5/i7 or AMD Ryzen 5/7)
- 8GB RAM or higher for development work
- 25GB free storage for project files
- 1920x1080 or higher resolution display
- Broadband connection (25 Mbps or faster)
If you're planning to work with larger projects or multiple development environments simultaneously, we suggest going with the recommended specs. It makes a real difference when you're juggling browser testing and code editors.
Software & Browser Support
Operating Systems
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or comparable Linux distributions
- ChromeOS (with limitations on certain development tools)
Supported Browsers
We test across all major browsers regularly. JavaScript must be enabled, and we recommend keeping your browser updated to the latest version for the best experience with interactive coding exercises.
Platform Compatibility Overview
Tested Across Real Environments
We don't just assume things work. Our team regularly tests the platform on actual devices—from older laptops to modern tablets. This includes checking how video lectures load, whether code editors respond properly, and if interactive elements behave as expected.
Because students use different setups, we've built flexibility into the system. You might be on a Windows machine at home and switch to a Mac at a coworking space. Or maybe you review materials on your phone while waiting for an appointment. The platform adapts.
For front-end development courses specifically, you'll need the ability to install code editors and run local servers. Most modern systems handle this without issues, but if you're working on a tablet or Chromebook, some advanced exercises might require workarounds.
