Ned in the Cloud Pluralsight FAQ
Yes. There are trial memberships available to take as many courses as you want over the trial 14-day period.
No. Pluralsight is a subscription service. You can sign up and watch as many courses as you want, but once you cancel your subscription you will lose access to my courses.
I have built up a great relationship with the folks at Pluralsight, and I truly believe they have a superior platform. I have no plans to compromise that by publishing elsewhere.
