Pluralsight Sponsorship

I am happy to announce that Pluralsight - Hardcore Developer Training is now a sponsor of CoastNerds.  Pluralsight will soon be providing us with 25 free monthly subscriptions to their online training library.  Also if any of you find yourselves unemployed let me know and we can arrange a free monthly subscription for you to help get up to speed before applying for a new job. 

This is a great step forward for our group as we can now offer a reward to our speakers/presenters, something we have been wanting to do for a while.  Going forward the first 25 people who present at our meetings each year will receive one of the free monthly subscriptions so now there is even more incentive for you to volunteer!
