Has anyone used Lynda.com?

[Pen]

My son is interested in learning some tech related stuff. Lynda.com basic , non premium, is available through our library.  I don’t know enough to judge if it’s any good.

what else would you suggest?

I may x post to high school forum

My kids have tried it but they feel its outdated.They feel there are better ones out there like Udemy, Coursera,Udacity.

Hard to beat free! I've used them for a few photography courses but not much else. It was a good course, learned a lot, a lot less fluff. I chose to go onto other platforms more because I prefer "owning" the course and going through it at my pace, rather than a subscription based service. The actual content was good in my opinion. 

 You can see the release dates on the courses to avoid the outdated ones, but older courses may have been updated, just not showing a new date (idk how they handle that). My view of Lynda has always been they are more professional-based, continuing education type. (Edit to add: so: drier, but good information)
