Try Code

Try Code is an online interactive coding tutorial for those with absolutely no programming experience. It includes a web-based Racket REPL, and the tutorial itself is condensed from Chapter 2 of Realm of Racket.

Try Code was forked from John Berry's try-racket, and is written in Racket and JavaScript with Chris Done's jquery-console.

Please note that the REPL and its server are still to some extent a work in progress, and community contribution is vigorously encouraged.

Online host

Try Code is hosted online at http://trycode.io

How to run it locally

$ racket trycode/main.rkt

Open http://localhost:8080 in your browser

NOTE: Currently Try Code does not work properly on Windows/Mac platforms. It should run, but hosting is not recommended as surprising behaviors continue to be discovered.
