Self-education Resources
-
We all want to and should continually exercise and grow our minds. The best way to do this is to never stop learning; to keep educating ourselves both within our field, and outside of it. The benefits are countless. You don't ever want to stop creating and strengthening new neural connections, synapses.
What courses or resources do you use for self-education?
I want to focus first on IT related resources, but I also and to included non-IT if it doesn't get too messy.
Lately, I've been using edX.org. Does anyone else use that? What are your favorite courses?
I know some of you use Linuxacademy.org. What courses have you done there? What do you recommend or don't you recommed?
Another one, here on ML (and even ML itself):
SAM: Learning Linux System Administration
https://mangolassi.it/topic/7825/sam-learning-linux-system-administrationWhat about Microsoft?
Microsoft Docs
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/What else?
The goal of this topic is to have an up-to-date or current consolidated place of tried-and-recommended learning resources for IT on the web, as well as some appropriately labeled and specified non-IT resources. No stale resources please.

I've used Cybrary.it for a while - they have courses on ( i believe) everything possible in IT that you could think of

Non-IT: Another good way is to learn another language. Duolingo.com is a great way to get started.

I've used edx.org before and have learned basic Linux administration from The Linux Foundation and Power BI. I recommend the Linux courses more. Power BI got dry for a minute there.
I'm cheap right now, so anything free is where I am going to for now, work on it myself, get good at it and then begin to invest in myself.

I recently started going to both Udemy and Pluralsight for training videos and things. Udemy is pay per course and Pluralsight is monthly/annual subscription with unlimited videos.
So far I've taken courses on Exchange 2016 and MDT and now I'm trying to learn powershell as much as possible.

I need something to keep me going. I get started multiple times a year.
