Programming without installing anything?

[Aplam]

I spend a lot of time bored at work sitting on a computer (Windows) which I have no install privileges on. I would love to take a stab at automating various office tasks (especially some stuff that would involve basic SELECT queries to a database), but the only coding experience I have has all been basic MEAN stack web development. I feel like I'd be able to do it pretty easily with Node on local, but of course I can't install that.

First of all... at your job if you want to play around with the company data, i would get permission from your boss first so you dont get fired.

If you have free time and want to explore stuff that you cant do on your company computer then if allowed to bring your own computer to work with you and have it at your desk, you could mess around with your own computer and learn stuff. However you might want to check with your boss to make sure this is allowed so that you also dont get fired.

Lastly if you have a smart phone or a android tablet you can play around with that and an app called SoloLearn installed to it to sneak in learning time on the clock and if you get caught on your phone they would likely tell you to put your phone away instead of firing you and so you might be able to sneak in learning time while on the clock via use of a smart phone or android tablet which wouldnt stand out as unusual as a personal laptop at your desk.
