This article is to keep track of my progress on Pluralsight learning paths.

I have so far completed 9 learning paths:
- New Hire
- CompTIA Security+
- C# Deep Dive
- JavaScript
- HTML5
- Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 (Microsoft Exam 70-480)
- CSS
- Front End Web Development
- Web Application Development with ASP.NET MVC5
- Node JS
- New JavaScript
I am interested in many other learning paths and was on track towards completing at least 12 of them in 2016 until I decided to change my aims.

I also need to balance this work against other courses on my bookmark list, and
other interesting courses continually becoming available.
My bookmark list must stay pruned down to the most essential courses, and cover both learning path courses and one or two new “must have” courses.
