Cloud labs (for enterprise and teams)
It’s official. We’ve got over 80 new Azure cloud labs (and more on the way). For accounts with access to our interactive learning content, cloud labs join our lineup of tools you can use to get hands-on practice—including labs (formerly scenarios) to build new skills with step-by-step guidance, challenges to apply those skills with no guidance (just hints), and sandboxes to experiment in a safe environment.
On-demand courses
Our editorial team has curated on-demand courses that sync up with the essential skills you need for today’s top IT roles. And you can track your progress.

Whether spring is springing or fall is falling in your neck of the woods, we’ve got new features and tools that will help you reach your learning goals. Take a look.
Reader enhancements
The reader is where the learning happens, so we’re always looking to improve it. You can now pin the table of contents and keep it open while you scroll through a book. Plus, chapters and subsections in the table of contents are now condensed and expandable for quicker navigation. And it’s even easier to add, edit, and delete highlights as you read.
New audiobooks
We’ve added 1,500 new audiobooks in technology, business, and leadership topics from top publishers like Harvard Business Review, McGraw Hill, and O’Reilly. Add your favorites to a playlist—and save important chapters to playlists while you listen.

It kicks off May 24! The Architectural Katas challenge lets teams come up with a solution that best solves a real problem. Then an all-star lineup of judges join Neal Ford to give feedback and pick the winner. Whether you want to compete or just want to watch, it’s an incredible learning opportunity.
Upcoming Superstreams
Our next round of Superstream events will give you an insider’s look at the latest in distributed computing, NLP in production, analytics engineering, cloud security, zero trust, and more. Don’t miss out.

New sandboxes

Reader and video player
A new unified content experience across books, videos, and learning paths offers a ton of new features and improvements to explore.
- Books now give you detailed progress monitoring for the entire book (and for each chapter) as well as the ability to add the book or chapter to a playlist.
- Videos and learning paths have a new picture-in-picture functionality that lets you watch any video while working in other tabs or windows. You can follow along in a live sandbox environment or ask O’Reilly Answers about something you’ve just heard.

All English-language O’Reilly videos now offer translated closed captioning in Japanese, Traditional Chinese (Taiwanese), Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, German, and Spanish. Simply click the globe icon in the video player to select a language and choose other captions settings.

Mobile app updates
Have an iOS mobile device? You now have the option to scroll or swipe through pages. Just select Scroll Mode or Swipe Mode on the toggle in the reader settings. And the Android app is lighter and brighter, with a more modern aesthetic and improved legibility. (Coming soon to iOS.)
New live events features
Quickly browse all events, jump into events you’ve registered for, and find recordings from your past events with a new tabbed experience. And you can now filter events by the time of day so you can easily fit learning into your schedule.
Live online case studies
Learn from someone else’s trial and error. Join these new live online case studies to explore how organizations overcame common challenges in business and technology. They can help you and your teams save time and avoid costly mistakes.
