Hey guys and gals, I haven't been around here in awhile, been busy with university but I ran across something today that I think a lot of you may find beneficial.
I found out that Microsoft is giving away six month promo codes to Pluralsight through their free Visual Studio Dev Essentials program. Pluralsight is a website that has video training courses for all kinds of computer related professions, although it's primarily aimed at coding, I noticed they have javascript training, graphic design, etc. You don't need any kind of payment information or anything in order to get or use the promo code, it's all free for the six month period.
The free 6 month offer ends at the end of December I believe or if too many people get it and they decide to stop it, so you should activate it ASAP.
Here's how to get it:
What you'll need: A Microsoft email account, I believe any free Microsoft email will work.
1.
Go here and sign up for Visual Studio Dev Essentials
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-dev-essentials-vs.aspx
2. When you've finished signing up there should be something like a "Activate your six month offer to Pluralsight" on the main page when you're logged in. You click that, it redirects you with the promo code to Pluralsight.com
3. You sign up with the code on the page it directs you to and when complete you should have a six month subscription to the entire Pluralsight library for free.
I asked Shaz prior to posting this and she said it should be okay for me to post it, I think people in this community will find the video training very helpful in their development endeavors and I'm in no way associated with either company, just sharing the goodies I found.
