After its relocation, HackHands began experiencing rapid growth within both its expert community and its users. ==Acquisition== On July 9, 2015, Pluralsight, an online education company announced it had acquired HackHands in order to expand its capabilities beyond video tutorials and assessments, providing live assistance for technology learners. The HackHands acquisition marked Pluralsight's seventh deal in less than two years, and it came after the acquisitions of Code School, a learn-to-code platform used by more than 1.3 million people, and Smarterer, a tool for assessing a user's technical ability quickly and in relation to his or her peers. In 2015 Hackhands moved its office to Pluralsight's headquarters in Farmingthon, Utah. ==Community involvement== To expand upon its core mission, the company is also working to bridge the gap in productivity between experienced and novice programmers through its HackPledge. This initiative encourages industry experts to commit an hour of time to mentoring and teaching in order to help novice developers master their craft. The company also launched the HackSummit, the largest virtual conference and programming conference in history until then, which had more than 64,000 registrants. The conference speakers list included big names in the tech industry, such as Bram Cohen, Tom Chi, Hakin Wium Le, Kent Beck, Brian Fox, Yehuda Katz, Aaron Skonnard, Tim O'Reilly, David Heinemeier Hansson, Qi Lu, Sarah Allen, Rebecca Parsons, Matei Zaharia and Orion Henry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HackHands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
