Difference Between Quantopian And Zipline
If no one else is going to answer I may as well. Zipline is the underlying software which runs the Quantopian online back-testing engine. Most of it is open source and you can download it and freely use it from Quantopian's github.
I did this two or three years ago and got it up and running. It is very possible for J Bloggs to do this but Mr Blogs will need to put in quite a bit of effort if he is new to this game.
The advantage of running it online on Q's website is that it provides you with many years of data both price and fundamental. Otherwise with zipline you need to provide your own.
Even if you use it online there are times when you may wish to view some aspect of the underlying code to clarify exactly how something works.
