Getting started with curated channels
The fastest way to get up and running is by duplicating one of the following channels curated by Pluralsight. You can use one of these channels as a starting point and customize it around your organization's goals—or just run with it as-is.
Important: These suggested channels were created in 2020 as a starting point for you. The channels will not be updated or maintained. See an Introduction to channels for more information about creating your own channels or paths for more curated content.
