javascript.com is just an ad for Pluralsight

Open ricealexander opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Under "Portals" in the "Reading" section, the very first link is for JavaScript.com.

The site contains:

  • Pluralsight branding and advertisements.
  • A "free course" consisting of punching JavaScript commands into a terminal for under 5 minutes. (not updated for ES6)
  • Links to Pluralsight's paid offerings
  • A skill assessment that requires registering for Pluralsight
  • Links to webinars that require registering for Pluralsight
  • A handful of links to useful non-Pluralsight resources, under "Resources"

In other words, the entire site is a thinly veiled ad for Pluralsight and probably shouldn't be listed under Portals.

I would suggest removing this link, or at least titling it "Pluralsight" instead of "JavaScript.com".

Alternatively, we could replace it with JavaScript.info a legitimate, free, high-quality, up-to-date, and beginner-friendly reference.
