Are you using PluralSight? We are.

As part of our company training, all developers working at my company have been given access to PluralSight. In my view this is an awesome resource for developer training.

PluralSight provides online video training for a wide range of IT skills. The videos are presented by experts in their fields and are generally of a very high quality. At the moment it appears that PluralSight is leading the field as far as online IT training is concerned.

There is however still room for improvement.  Here are a few things I'd like to see being addressed.

  • A number of courses currently don't have assessments.
  • On the courses that do have assessments, the quality of the questions and the length of the assessments in my opinion aren't thorough enough to give them any real credibility. I would like to see assessments with at least 10 questions per hour of online content.  
  • There doesn't appear to be any way to view a list of courses that you have watched (unless you have completed the assessment as well).


So what courses did I manage to get through in 2013. Note the transcript below only shows the list of courses where I completed a assessment. I must have watched at least another half a dozen courses that don't have assessments.
