Pluralsight challenges do not work (even when I put in their code from the solution).
This is why we do not require the Pluralsight challenges as part of completion. If the challenge does not work or there is an error, you may report it to Pluralsight by email or via their website.
Lost access to Pluralsight after completing Prework or Introduction
- This is a normal part of the process. As you progress through the stages of the Code: You program, Pluralsight channels will change and you will need to accept a new invitation.
- New invitations are sent at the following stages:
- Prework
- Introduction to Programming
- Beginning of Pathway
- Code: You graduates are removed from the Pluralsight account to allow the licenses to be allocated to new participants. Pluralsight offers some free access.
