Why I use lynda.com:
lynda.com is by far my favorite online resource when it comes to e-learning. Aside from the enormous and ever expanding library of courses, the ability to follow along with video tutorials makes the learning process more hands on. In addition, the exercise files and projects allow me to create working samples which will be added to my e-portfolio under the synopsis blog as I complete the courses. I have personally recommended lynda.com to numerous other people and will continue to do so in the future.
