To get a degree online, research on the internet to find an online course in the subject you want to study. The most important tip for anyone attending or considering an online degree is to stay on task. According to a survey, 83 percent of executives say that an online degree is as credible as one earned through a traditional campus-based program. I pay for both sites currently and will continue to pay as long as I can afford it.As more and more trusted schools offer online degree programs, respect continues to grow. They're both fantastic and a huge resource for a guy like me.

I can give my stamp of approval to both of these websites. Most recently I watched a 7 hour course on Ableton Live music production software on. I use pluralsight more for work, and for pleasure. I have watched easily 5 times as many videos on Lynda than I have on pluralsight. I think it's easier to make an interesting video on music production software than powershell commandlets. Where pluralsight might be a tad boring isn't at all. Everything from Excell to CAD, to Pro Tools, or photoshop. Lynda has videos on nearly any kind of popular software you can think of. If pluralsight is training for developers, Lynda is training for users. Pluralsight is a great tool and I'll continue to pay for it for the foreseeable future.īelieve it or not Lynda is fantastic. Some authors aren't exactly entertaining, and sometimes you need a little entertainment when you're chugging through a boring subject. The only knock on pluralsight I can say is that sometimes it can be boring. They also just acquired digital tutors and doubled the size of their library with a slew of courses on animation and video game graphics. There's tons and tons of videos on there. I guess I'll take the free trials but is there anyone else out there worth considering? If the libraries are decent and the courses are worth watching both are worth thousands (last time I checked you can pay $2000/day for an instructor led training course) - that's kind of the question though, if the libraries are decent? Pluralsight looks kinda interesting with their $299 subscription (can't see any tangible benefit in the $499 sub?).ĬBT Nuggets is significantly more expensive - again still not expensive vs a training course IMO but YKWIM, is it worth 3x what Pluralsight charge? There's a ton of useful stuff on Youtube these days but it is of course rather fragmented and 'lucky dip' whether you find something useful and how authoritative the source is. We have a Safari Books Online subscription and it's good but of course books can be a bit heavy going and certainly my own learning style is that seeing is better than reading (especially if there are no pictures involved). Looking at options to get access to some decent structured courses on various topics, some for me, some for my direct report.
