Outstanding learning platform
What do you like best about the product?
Pluralsight is an extremely straight-forward learning platform where you can take self-paced courses on virtually any tech-related topic. All courses are designed by both fellow students and professionals alike and the knowledge base is extremely vast. Pluralsight is also backed by Microsoft and allows you to learn just about any topic to be able to kickstart your learning in something you'd like to know.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pluralsight is a bit less focused on completion and rewarding students as other comparable online 'schools' and MOOCs like Udacity. I believe that offering rewards or certifications or even partnering with large companies on courses could really drive value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Learning more programming skills that are often difficult to learn without some form of guidance. Pluralsight allows me to improve my abilities while also staying ahead of industry standards to always apply best-in-class practices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd strongly recommend giving pluralsight a close look, at some of the courses that are offered and consider what you'd like to learn. They offer a free trial that is worth taking a look into to explore the website and its contents.

Try 6 month trail membership by joining Micosoft Web Dev Essentials
Excellent Tool for IT Professionals!
What do you like best about the product?
Code School offers specific learning paths in their courses (and it's great to follow a specific topic path). The prices are usually offered monthly/annually (and most of them are reasonable), and the ability to try the beginner level course for free (as well as creating a free account) is great!
What do you dislike about the product?
Code School should offer more professional IT courses, but there are links where you can suggest a course as well as a few surveys that were offered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reviewing my technology skills that may be needed in the office has been most essential to using Code School.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try a specific beginner-level course (and if you don't like it, you can skip a certain path and try another one).
Continuous pluralsight user....
What do you like best about the product?
The breadth of curriculum is the biggest benefit for me. The world of technology moves faster than any one person can keep up with, Pluralsight is great for keep abreast of new and even emerging technologies, as well as, the tried and true tech stacks.
What do you dislike about the product?
One one problem i have been bothered with. Some courses that are a series of videos are difficult to track or identify the order the course was to be taken in, without first taken a trial and error approach. Would be great to have the multi video or multi lesson courses always tied to a single syllabus or contents course to walk through the series in order.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous education of the technology world is my largest problem to solve. So much exists in the tech arena and the need to use or experiment with different technologies is a must these days. PS provides that platform to get a quick start on these.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
With the inclusion of CodeSchool now with pluralsight this is truly the best site out there in the learning community.
Great range of learning videos
What do you like best about the product?
A great range of learning videos, produced by people who are using the products, and giving a users view of the software
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the presenters are difficult to understand, or have a very mono-tone voice which could put you to sleep if watched for too long.
There are also some that tend to go off on a tangent and go completely off topic

Experiences using Pluralsight
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of content available will keep you busy for a long time if you intend on learning a wide variety of programming skills.
The instructors teaching the classes are also really knowledgeable on their subjects.

What do you dislike about the product?
The video viewer UI seems a little clunky and outdated, it does the job fine but could be improved upon.
The commenting system really needs an overhaul for the course pages, asking for assistance from instructors is really a hassle and there isn't any concrete way to search for previous questions asked or for specific topics.

Sign up for a monthly payment plan to evaluate firstly before purchasing a yearly plan.
awesome for learning new technologies
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about pluralsight is that the tutorials are very complete, and the technologies are very recent, so it's a great way to learn new and exciting technologies.
Also, the videos are very easy to follow, and the presenters are people who know what they are talking about.
The quality of the videos is the best. And the responsiveness of the site is very good too.
And if you have a pro subscription, you can download all of the tutorials.

What do you dislike about the product?
The video player is a little annoying, because you can't easily change the tutorial you are following.
When you want to see the code, you need to close the video player and get back to the tutorial page.
Also, they should have more stuff about functional programming. They have some courses, but it's not enough.
I'd like to be able to download the materials, but you need to have a professional subscription that is a little expensive.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I wanted to learn React and Clojure, and some Data Science (Apache Spark) skills. They had great resources on theses subjects, they were really helpful.
Also, there are some amazing resources about ruby on rails, so I really recommend it if you're a rails developer and want to get better at your craft.

Engaging and In-Depth Explanation of key technology features
What do you like best about the product?
I loved the videos by qualified instructors. They gave an easy explanation and code which was easy to follow. Moreover, the video lengths gave enough time for students to truly understand each concept of a certain technology like the Mean Stack in depth.
What do you dislike about the product?
I disliked the lack of code submission. I'd like pluralsight to add this so that students could learn more from their own mistakes rather than copying and following someone else's code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped educated my colleagues on certain technology stacks in a fast amount of time.
Useful for learning many programming languages and best practices
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing is exams on every chapters end, they are interactive and force you to write code, I learned the javascript best practices from it and I got my certificate. Lessons are fluent in English and self explanatory examples are quite good for people who are just getting started to programming. It also shows you off that how much progress you made in the team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need many more languages, firstly they should finish the Python course and upload it. There should be lessons of new era programming languages like Go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using CodeSchool in learning management programme whole company benefits from it. We are also seeing what other people is studying and what they did so far.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
After acquisition from Microsoft it gets better. Use it for learning best practices and new scriptinh programming languages.
This is one of the better learning platforms out there for coding!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the amount of quality courses that Pluralsight offers. There is a wide range of topics, including front-end development, to back-end development, to performance and scalability, databases, graphic/UX design, and the list goes on. These are excellent courses that provide a lot of value for anyone who is currently in the field and for anyone who is looking to get into a new field in tech or otherwise.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the price point for Pluralsight. Even though the price point is a bit high, I find that the yearly subscription pays for itself when you take a few courses a month. There are also a lot of resources elsewhere that you can get for free, but the fact that Pluralsight provides all the resources in one central repository makes it an invaluable resource for any learner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the problem of continuous learning in the fast-paced field of tech. Since there is always some new technology releasing every day, it is sometimes hard to keep up. Pluralsight's offerings keeps developers up-to-date with the latest technologies -- providing lectures, classes, notes, and exercises from all experts in their respective fields.
