How do I use my credits? 2018-12-20T11:30:13+00:00

A credit allows you to claim any eBook or Video of your choice for free. To do this, sign in to your subscription and browse for the eBook or video you want. From the front page or within content, click on the ‘Use Credit’ button. This download is DRM-free.

What are Learning Paths? 2019-07-18T10:01:37+00:00

Learning Paths are collections of titles selected to help you develop a particular skill. The titles are presented in a recommended learning order along with a minimum recommended learning time – this is based on how long we estimate users need to gain practical value out of a path. Paths are divided into three levels, Getting started, Improving, and Mastering, based on the knowledge levels of the learner.

How do I start a new Learning Path? 2019-07-18T10:01:37+00:00

Sign in to your subscription, click on Learning Paths in the top navigation. Choose a Learning path relevant to you. Click ‘Get Started’.  Start a title listed within the Learning Path, and you’ve begun that Learning Path. It will then be added to your content in the My Library tab.

Where can I see a list of my Learning Paths? 2019-07-18T10:01:37+00:00

At the moment, you can only start four Learning Paths. You can see a list of them via the My Library tab within your subscription.

What are Projects? 2019-07-18T10:01:36+00:00

These are concise learning sessions taken from existing content that are focussed on helping you produce practical apps and software solutions. Note that these are standalone chapters that may require some previous knowledge of the technologies involved.

What rewards do I get for learning? 2021-11-16T15:39:03+00:00

Annual subscriptions can earn a new credit when they complete 40 sections of learning. Time is only logged when you click ‘Next Section’ while reading or watching a title, and these titles are in addition to the monthly credits Annual subscribers receive. You can access the details in the Rewards page.

What is the difference between Saved for Later and Bookmarks? 2019-07-18T10:01:36+00:00

Bookmarks allow you to return to specific sections of eBooks or videos: code samples, great explanations of a topic, a tricky section that you want to read again.
Saved for Later let you tag the whole eBook or video, so you create your own personal reading list and return to these titles when you have, for example, more time.

Where can I get the code that goes along with my eBook or video (e.g., Code files)? 2019-07-18T10:01:36+00:00

Log into your subscription and find the relevant title and go into content. You will be able to download the code by clicking on the ‘Code files’ icon at the top of any content page.
