Simon Allardice

@jacobokoenig Thank you—that's wonderful to hear. So glad the courses helped. And hey—I'd love to, but as soon as I can leave quarantine, I'm heading north. Next time!

@allardice Welcome to London Simon @allardice. I learnt coding from your videos, and changed my life. Would love to buy you a beer if you’re up for it

Double-Pfizered, so first trip in fifteen months: Hello again, London. Not a bad view to spend quarantine. @ London, United Kingdom instagram.com/p/COpXkxxjJHp/…

It’s April — @pluralsight is free all month. So if you haven’t tried us yet, there’s no better time than right now. #FreeApril

I was on the @devweeklyshow podcast recently, where I blether about teaching—various things to do, and not to do. developerweeklypodcast.com/40/teaching-wi…

I was not expecting my biggest emotional reaction to #WWDC2020 would be to a new Apple TV+ series… but as a massive Asimov / Foundation fan, here we are!

“… Huge improvements to handwriting recognition.” CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

I’ve sat through several WWDC keynotes in person, but I do prefer this recorded format—and I’ll take some slight cringe if I don’t have to sit through the forced woos, kludgy rounds of applause and bladder capacity endurance test.

@vlahell @pluralsight Yes: it’s free in April. Your quote is about “accounts opened after May 1, 2020”

@allardice @pluralsight It's not really free* "New free accounts opened after May 1, 2020, will only have access to a PORTION of Pluralsight’s library and will require payment information." Totally misleading and false advertising from @pluralsight

I've been quiet here lately, but this one's worth Tweeting: @pluralsight is free in April. No strings attached. In the last few months I’ve released new courses on TypeScript, Cloud and AI. Watch ‘em! Or, y’know, any of the other 7000. plrsig.ht/Free_April #FreeApril!

@zombietreats Thanks, Brian. And yes—such a shame: he was one of the rare few who was an authentic teacher, in the best sense of the word, rather than just a “reciter of facts”.

Awful news. Scott was a wonderful, life-changing educator and a genuinely great person. He will be sorely missed.

James Williamson @jameswillweb — passed away today after a long fight with ALS. A superb educator—if you ever learned about the web/HTML/CSS on lynda.com, you learned from James—and a wonderful human being. Rest In Peace, my friend.

Glad to see this. As a company, @pluralsight 's mission is "democratize technology skills". We mean that. I was quiet about this fiasco yesterday, so let me be clear: I despise that kind of behavior and have NO time, NO patience, NO tolerance for it.

I have a new course out today—to mark the upcoming #Apollo50th — it's a little different from my usual content. Had a great time doing this one. And it's free—enjoy!

@TechTrainerTim @pluralsight Thanks, Tim — I had a blast doing this one!

@DanWahlin And I have a course coming out on @pluralsight about that very thing in about, oh, an hour or two :)

WOW - this is now on Github: Original Apollo 11 Guidance Computer (AGC) source code for the command and lunar modules. #nasa #apollo11 ow.ly/8JuP30p9oKS

@nivbp correct—this one is very general, not platform specific.

@allardice It’s not specific to a platform, like iOS. Right?

I have a new course out! It’s a short —but hopefully entertaining— intro to Machine Learning. app.pluralsight.com/library/course…

@DanWahlin Thanks Dan!

@allardice Congrats! Just watched the intro - great stuff!! Can't watch the rest right now because I need to get an ML article out there. :-)

@theJasonHelmick Congratulations, my friend!

I am honored to officially join the team! This is my dream job. #microsoft #powershell
