Note: this roadmap is a snapshot of plans, not set-in-stone promises. Due to the fast-paced nature of the IT field, we may need to make changes in priority for content development to adapt to industry needs.
This slide reflects the current IT roadmap across all Skillsoft IT courseware products, which includes IT Skills courses, Test Preps, Mentoring, Live Learning, and Virtual Practice-Labs. Skillsoft develops world-class content based on in-depth research, input from our customers, and usage analytics on existing content.
In mid-2017 we launched CodeX, a cutting-edge and innovative way to practice and perfect coding skills in a professional development environment. Each CodeX virtual coding practice lab provides coding exercises and embedded video to help developers learn, compile and practice their coding skills in a safe testing ground, even for projects outside the scope of Skillsoft coding exercises.
