I have been looking at the following for personal education to get better skills in general. ( I already have a Bachelors, but am very rusty) 1) udemy.com - the prices for the courses change on the drop of a hat. The subscription does not cover all courses. Opinions on the coverage? 2) https://www.oreilly.com/online-learning/ - There is a subscription for courses, books, etc... , but there is not enough information to determine if I want it or not. 3) https://brilliant.org/ - Looking for opinions I am focused on the following topics: 1) Electronics (Engineering level) 2) Math (College level, post algebra) 3) Programming (C, Python, BASH, whatever...) Any opinions or alternatives?

https://www.edx.org/ https://openlearning.mit.edu/ Many, many courses are free of charge. If you want some official credential, they typically cost something. I've taken numerous EdX and MitX courses and been very pleased. HTH, Ted Ruegsegger

I've exported MIT's edx platform to teach me some Mechanical engineering principles. The other platform I'm familiar with is Cloud Academy. Though I have to admit I'm blessed with an "all you can eat" license through my job and I've abused the shit out of it! Tim.
