pluralsight: online courses study

January 16

Just start to watch video courses on code school and pluralsight. And she likes to blog on this as well.

Julia did not have  time / motivation /confidence to go over MVC in last 5 years work as a full time programmer, but in less than 3 hours, went over MVC course, and found out that technologies are so easy to understand, also affordable to get best education - courses ($40/month, compared to IT course $500/each course, graduate research credit out-of-state $800 - $1000), and use it to apply at work.

The pluralsight.com service is such affordable,  make me connect to best of talents in the world, catch up all the technologies we need, or just curious, and then, master one or two of them a time if need.

Life is such a journey, and then, you find out that you are isolated, work alone, tired, and suddenly, you are connected to others, get back with more confidence.

That is the journey Julia likes to start with pluralsight.com / codeschool.com.

started to watch code school videos, learned Angular.JS, Ember.JS, bootstrap CSS framework, reviewed CSS, Html etc. Great teaching from instructors, better than my experience - work full time 3 years + on CSS, html, Java Script, Jquery. Good to know how to teach, how to be teachable, and enjoy the lectures.
