I've never used Pluralsight, does anyone have any CS related recommendations? Does Pluralsight vet their content? Or is it a YouTube style free for all?

Heh, I probably would have said "Udemy style free for all" but the point is basically the same. According to my email I signed up for a free trial a couple years ago, then closed my account when the trial ended. I don't recall the exact course(s) I tried, but in general they seemed like higher quality than the typical distance learning factories.

I've done some really good course on pluralsight (we had some form of enterprise license for a year), but other courses I've had to give up because of the grating accent of the person giving the course
