Just passed the #Cisco DEVASC 200-901 exam! Tough exam, but it was a great experience. I'm excited to be part of the #DevNet Class of 2020! Also big thanks to @nickrusso42518 for his amazing study plan and @pluralsight course. I highly recommend it if you're studying for DEVASC

The best thing that happened to me in 2020 was #GADS2020 which introduced me to @pluralsight . My interest in IT and programming peaked when i joined the program and now i believe this is the career path i want to take. #womenintech #WomenWhoCode #Andela #Pluralsight #GADS https://t.co/oYchlj6V5W

Skyler @SkylerDevops

Just finished “Automation with windows #Powershell Scripts” on @pluralsight from @JeffHicks. It was really well explained, learned a few things, definitely would recommend if you need to do some PS ☺️

I love the schedule reminders feature that @pluralsight has added (well not sure when, but today I saw that) you make more simple my life, good job guys. #learning https://t.co/0EEjxVQJbm

Kayode Omotoye @kontrepid

One reason I love @pluralsight training is how they curate similar courses on a subject into a learning path. The diversity of content delivery & repetition of salient points by the SMEs helps to make the learning process efficient and memorable. Kudos to the team.

JodieM @jodiem

You know when you sign up to an online learning platform that is video based and you just keep thinking ooh it's really not as good as @pluralsight and gee Pluralsight does this so much better.

The kids decided that they wanted to spend the week up at the grandparents. Looks like a good time to finally tell @pluralsight that I'm ready to go steady. #devlife
