What do you like best about the product?

There are a lot of courses to learn. Every course has a curriculum which is broad and extensively covered at Pluralsight. Pluralsight recently started various paths based on a programming language by which you can make a transition from amateur to professional. They currently have paths based on programming languages like Javascript, CSS, Angular and HTML. Pluralsight provides one to one mentor help where you can ask questions if you get stuck and can have a one on one mentoring session to solve your doubts. Every single video is short and helps you to focus on the particular topic without losing interest.

What do you dislike about the product?

I haven't disliked anything as such but one thing I will surely talk about is downloading the exercise files. You need to pay an annual subscription or monthly which is about $40 a month. I am currently paying a monthly fee of $29 which gives you access to all the videos except downloading the exercise files.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to learn new technologies on my own and create hobby projects.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

What do you like best about the product?

Code School has a wide variety of courses to learn coding skills, mostly web development skills. From Javascript basics, to cutting edge tech & tools like React, Angular, and many others.

The platform offered to go through these courses is awesome, with well-explained lectures followed by coding challenges that can be solved within the app. The experience is really pleasant.

What do you dislike about the product?

I would like them to put some courses for free for a limited period of time, for example a weekend, so people that are not paying to use the product, could at least take advantage of these offers if they're interested.

They could also offer more variety of paid plans, they just have two choices: "free", and "paid". Maybe they could organize this in a better way, so people could pay a bit less to access less content, something like that, this is just a brief idea.

It would be great to make challenges a bit more "challenging", so course evaluations have more value.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Code School to keep me up to date with the latest tech & tools to build software apps. This is essential for every software developer, and Code School makes it fun as well.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you're passionate about software development, and would like to keep up building your skills, this is definitely the place to go.

Even if you're a beginner in software development, there are lots of courses for you, and believe me when I say it's fun to learn here.

What do you like best about the product?

Code School is regularly updating their content so they are constantly relevant for the most part. In addition, their courses are in bite-sized chunks making them easy to digest as well as to do some and come back to them. Each course has a theme song which are often catchy and amusing too. Their course content is very high quality all the way around.

What do you dislike about the product?

While mostly relevant, they are occasionally slow to get some of their courses out there. The React one was just released in late April, 2016, for example. Their library is growing but could be larger. I suspect this will happen now that Pluralsight owns them; and given the quality of the content, it's understandable that they are not just churning it out. My only real complain is the cost; while $29/month is worth it, there's so many options/alternatives to them these days that it seems like they could bring that down.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've used Code School on and off for over 5 years to learn new technologies and better understand some I already know. The way they approach teaching is both fun and effective.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you are in the web development industry already, or just getting started, and looking for a website to learn from, Code School provides high quality content and great teaching style. Their courses are also fun and once you get started it becomes almost addictive. It's very easy to complete most of their courses within a few hours if not quicker. I highly recommend Code School.

What do you like best about the product?

There are a lot of excellent tutorials and explanation videos available. I've been able to find most things I need on Pluralsight, and the video tutorials are excellent quality.

What do you dislike about the product?

Some of the categories are a bit outdated. For example, the Microsoft Dynamics CRM development training is for a fairly old version of Dynamics, and does not adequately reflect the current API layer.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

In general, we've used this to solve some of the difficultly around training for new systems and technology with programmers.

What do you like best about the product?

I love the organization of the site. It is very easy to navigate. The instructors are very knowledgeable. I took many online courses and I found the course information very relevant for all.

What do you dislike about the product?

The cost. I feel like it should be a little less expensive for a year membership. I would say about 10 dollars a month. There would be a lot more subscribers.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I expanded my knowledge of 3D design. When I was a subscriber, I always went to this source for the info I needed.

What do you like best about the product?

Best thing about pluralsight is that it provides courses on modern technologies. Being online it is easily available from anywhere.Pluralsight comes up with new courses every month so new languages/ tech is available. Each course is divided into a parts with each part containing small length videos which makes loading the video fast and learning becomes easy due short length videos.

What do you dislike about the product?

One thing they have to improve is the material and practice test. and also some kind of slideshow or pdf with summary of each course. Slideshow which tutor used to teach will be great. Sample examples is also needed as many times when we try it error occurs and these errors are due to updated libraries.
User interface need to improve sometimes there are confusion.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping myself and my team updated with latest technologies. With just monthly payment i can view as many courses i want there is no limit for it. And for individual pricing is very low compared what value pluralsight is providing. It also solves problem of buying new books when new technology comes.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you want use pluralsight make sure technology you want to learn is available on website. Also make note of tutor name and his hold on technology that he/she teaching.

What do you like best about the product?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Game development tutorials to improve my knowledge.

There is always a good tutorial for you to learn something new.

What do you like best about the product?

This has been one of the greatest tools for my career development. I happen to be very lucky in that for a number of years now I have had full access to this site provided for by work. First through TrainSignal before it merged with Pluralsight. But over the last few months I have discovered that there is much more than just technical skills to be gained from this site, there is a wide range or personal and professional development courses. These non-technical courses go way beyond just technical chops.

My first introduction to this learning method was the old CBT Nuggets. But having used Pluralsight now for 4 years I believe it is by far the best player in this market. At work I had 4 title changes in under 4 years and I attribute a lot of that advancement to being able to train at my own pace and stay on top of new technologies by using courses on this site.

Over the last few years I have done courses on Server 2012, SQL 2012, vmWare, ITIL, Storage, System Center and more. Now occasionally you will find authors or instructors who just do not do it for you. But of the 58 courses I have completed since the TrainSignal-Puralsight merger there have been very few that I did not enjoy. But it was much the same at university, you will find some course instructors you love and work through most or all of their courses because the teaching style is so engaging.

An example of how good some of these courses are, a few years back one of my first tasks after moving to the Senior team was to build our VDI Virtual Desktop Infrastructure using vmware view. I watch the course through from beginning to end. Watched it a second time and made notes for the step by step install and configuration process. Within a few days I had our environment up and running, and it is now time to upgrade to Horizon View.

As mentioned earlier, lately I have been focused on more non-technical courses. Jason Alba has some amazing career development courses. There are a number of excellent management or leadership courses available and new courses coming online often. And currently there are almost 60 career development and management courses available.

And one of the greatest new features is native apps for iOS, Android and Windows phone, and with the native apps the option for offline content to work while travelling or to save data usage on your devices.

I attribute much of my success over the last 5 years to using this tool and for the price point you just cannot beat the breadth and depth of courses available to help you grow personally and professionally. This would be an excellent resource for any developer, programmer or IT Infrastructure professional to have access to. You can also start with a 10 day free trail so why not give it a try and check out a course or two?

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes older courses disappear that I would like to go back to. The current Windows interface is too dark.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Knowledge gaps, soft skills, eagerly tackingling new technologies as they come onboard or onto my plate.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Worth every penny. And look at the soft skills courses, especially Jason Alba's offerings, not just technical courses.

What do you like best about the product?

In the IT domain the technology keeps changing and staying up to date with the latest trends is vital for your own survival. Plural Sight is a one stop place where you can watch tutorials about multiple technologies be it .NEt , Javascript, Web technologies etc.

What do you dislike about the product?

I kind of dislike the new user interface which they have implemented. Along with this I would like to be shown the list of new tutorials added based on my own interest.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Learning the latest in the field
2. Brushing up older concepts
3. Learning from the people best in the business. Experience is the best teacher

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Go for it. Its an online library of all the cool stuff.
