WordPress Playground is a way to quickly experiment with WordPress and you can use it with the tutorials, courses, and workshops on this page.

WordPress Studio is the next level up from WordPress Playground in the ability to develop websites on your local computer, keep your work (as opposed to losing it when you close WordPress Playground), and deploy it to hosting. Note that Studio is heavily biased toward WordPress.com and Pressable hosting. You can deploy to other hosts, but Studio doesn’t make it as easy as WordPress.com and Pressable hosting.
