What is this?

I'm Cristian Eslava and I sometimes build websites so both you and I can learn and experiment. culTest

I made this in February 2026 to make learning easier for my students. The idea is to learn web development by practicing and to keep expanding the project with new topics, tests and challenges.

It draws inspiration from MDN, W3Schools, CodePen, Manz and many other web development references. I wanted to combine useful theory, runnable examples, challenges and the testing system I had already built for culTest. culTest
