.NET Video Training Tutorials - When considering cost vs. quality, how do LearnVisualStudio.net and Pluralsight compare?

Question

I'm considering LearnVisualStudio.net or Pluralsight for .NET video training tutorials.

LearnVisualStudio.NET is much less expensive and from a superficial look, the quality of the training looks so-so.

PluralSight is much more expensive and from a superficial look, the quality of the training looks very good.

Has anyone compared these two, balancing cost and quality? If so, what conclusions did you draw? Also, how was your experience if you subscribed to either one? I'm curious as to the strengths and weaknesses of both.

Answer 1

Check out http://www.learndevnow.com/. It offers some fairly premium, detailed training for 99$ annually. I will say that I have a LearnVisualStudio.net subscription myself and have enjoyed it, though, it's become fairly stale on material as of late.

I would also recommend Tekpub, which is 200$ annually (and you get to download the videos) or 19$ a month for streaming videos. I have a monthly subscription for this myself, and the videos here are really, really good. I am loving the ASP .NET MVC 2 series. It's also a great melting pot of learning as it's not purely focused on Microsoft tech, but also other mainstream tech, with a big slant toward Ruby.
