This is an explanatory page describing the resource and providing links to the actual zXplore site:
https://www.ibm.com/it-infrastructure/z/education/zxplore This is the site itself: https://ibmzxplore.influitive.com/ It is IBM's replacement for their "Master the Mainframe" learning environment. The "challenges" are relatively simple but still a bit of fun for those of us with lots of z/OS experience. The learning curve for me was the VSCode interface to zowe, but having learned quite a bit about it while using the site I found that environment very useful and functional. No particularly burdensome T&C's but it is designed for learning, not for unfettered development (no TSO or ISPF access at this time, for instance). There are limits to how much of the z/OS resources you can use, and there are warnings that abusers will be banned. It runs at the Dallas RDP center, so there are also bi-weekly maintenance windows of about 6 hours on a weekend.
