Pluralsight for MSDN Subscribers Worldwide
Back in June, Pluralsight announced a special training benefit for MSDN designed to provide MSDN subscribers with access to 20 of their most popular courses.
Previously only available in the US, today they’re expanding this benefit to MSDN subscribers worldwide through December 11, 2012. Now you can access this benefit across the globe, regardless of location! See the notes below on who is eligible.
Based on our feedback, they’ve also worked with Microsoft to enhance this custom 12 month training subscription with several new Visual Studio 2012 courses.
The Pluralsight Starter Subscription for MSDN now contains 25 popular courses. The five new courses they added include:
- Introduction to Visual Studio 2012 – Part 1
- ALM with TFS 2012 Fundamentals
- ALM for Developers with Visual Studio 2012
- Microsoft Fakes Fundamentals
- Intelllitrace
They’ve simply added these new titles to the original set of courses made available in June. If you’ve already taken advantage of this offer, you don’t have to do anything to get these – you’ll see the new courses show up in your account next time you login to Pluralsight.
To take advantage of this limited-time training benefit, redeem your Pluralsight Starter Subscription for MSDN by December 11, 2012:
