What was the best part about using Lynda.com?
Given that there are wide amount of memberships available including a 7-day trial and a premium membership which allows you to get videos offline as well as access to all the source files and all lessons videos, it is great to choose what do you want. You will have to pay to learn.
The videos are carefully designed and are detailed, even somewhat slow. They will help you learn software and some programming languages very well.
Some courses run over five hours, but you can work through elements of a course in one sitting. This is because the courses are broken into a series five to ten minutes long lessons.
The lynda.com courses work on the PC, Mac and a variety of mobile devices.
What would you change about your experience with Lynda.com?
Unless you have an offline video option which is available ONLY in the premium membership, you will need Internet to access the videos always. If you are on a capped bandwidth plan, this may not be the most ideal for you. There is a standard definition browsing available however, for lower connectivity areas.
Some of the videos for topics which are new are just screen grabs and some narration on top of them [check some Adobe topic videos for instance]. These are not as cool as you would ideally want and does not match the quality of some videos like say Analytics or Wordpress ones.
Overall Feedback
Lynda.com is now a LinkedIn product and is adding more and more courses. Currently you'll find courses on Captivate, Adobe Connect, Camtasia, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft PowerPoint and software topics like Dreamweaver, Drupal, Flash, HTML5, Mobile Development.
You are provided the exercise files that go along with each course only as a premium member. Although the exercise files are not mentioned as an integral part of the tutorials, they will help you follow better for some courses like Adobe Photoshop or Drupal for instance.
