Absolutely! I have been using Pluralsight for almost a year now and it’s worth every penny.
They have a huge library of courses which are updated regularly based on the latest trends in the tech industry. If you just want to learn programming then other options are fine too. But if you want to get a job in the tech industry then I would highly recommend you to give Pluralsight a try.
Learn For Free
The monthly subscription may seem a bit pricey but you don’t have to worry. You can easily get 6 month subscription completely free of cost.
Why I prefer Pluralsight
Most of the training platforms out there try to make things easy and won’t go in depth. They often skip important and slightly difficult concepts that help you understand the topic better. Also, the company keeps 99% of of their content relevant with the latest standard’s and archives older courses. Other platforms such as Udemy, Lynda, Treehouse etc don’t focus much on updating their content and try to sell you courses that where created in 2012.
Pluralsight subscribers are given access to the complete catalog of courses at Digital Tutors, a site strictly intended for design software, and creative professionals.
What seperates Pluralsight from other e-learning platforms is the exceptional quality of the platform. From the amazing UI/UX design the platform has to its courses often taught by leading professionals, Pluralsight outranks all competition.
I am a visual learner so for me it is a great fit. I also loved the roll out of Roll IQ and Skill IQ, so I can have better a measurement for my current level and where I want to go. I love the variety of content. Even the content not specific to my job. I know this learning platform will just get better and better with time.
