update 2023:
It’s back!
The new Skills Bundle Add-on is available to paid Professional Members only for the low additional cost of just $75 per year.
Update: ACM members will have access to Plurasight training platform starting September 2022. Great value for ACM members!
We expect the Pluralsight Skills platform to become available as a benefit of ACM membership in September 2022.
Courses will span AI/Machine Learning, Cloud, Data, DevOps, Software Development, Security, and Infrastructure. And, while it will not be available this fall, we also expect to gain access to a custom subset of Pluralsight’s A Cloud Guru (ACG) platform, with selections from the world’s largest hands-on cloud learning library. ACG offers instant access to live Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) cloud environments through Cloud Playground for real-world experience.
PSA: Starting July 1st, 2022 You won’t be able to access O’Reilly through ACM membership. You could get $100 off your first year with coupon code ACM10022 and transit to individual account, which gives you access live training, coding sandbox, etc.
O’Reilly learning, formely known as Safari Books Online, is an online platform with vast array of technical content: over 40,000 books, video courses, live training, and other valuable materials. I’ve been using the service since my first job where my company purchased company-wide access. Last year I started my video series for it, making recommendation on new books.
The platform offers 7day free trial, but honestly the $49/month (or $499/year) plan is a bit too pricy for individual learner.
There’s indeed another way, and it’s through joining ACM: Association for Computing Machinery. If you work on the data analytics/mining field like me, you probably heard of ACM before. As clearly stated on the website here, joining ACM will grant you access to the learning platform, as well as discount for its popular conferences.
Now let’s visit https://www.acm.org/membership/join, and you will see two major plans: professional and students. These plans also offer special rates for economically developing countries.
All the plans below give you access to O’Reilly
Professional membership: $99/ year
Special rates for Professionals in economically developing countries (Check to see if your country is on the list. $25/year for China residents)
Student membership: $19/year
You can visit https://www.acm.org/membership/membership-benefits to check on many other amazing benefits provided by joining ACM.
Once you joined, you will have an email address like pengbookclub@acm.org and this will be your login userid for O’Reilly. Go to the O’Reilly learning log-in page, once you finished typing your acm address, it will trigger the ‘sign in with single sign on’
Click it and you will be redirected to the acm page, now use your acm credentials (which you fill in during your ACM registration process)
and now you will return to O’Reilly and start learning (for 1/5 of the price)! Enjoy~
