Got an email from dad yesterday with a link to an article about this, thought there might be others out there that are interested. I signed up using the Mrs' Griffith Edu address, and it worked fine. If using a non Edu address it asks for proof of studenthood.

As far as I can see it is a yearly subscription, it stated 3 years free in the article, so I assume it will just roll over for 3 years.

    Griffith is a university so you have to be a student.

  Joined up. Content looks okay, but it doesn't look like everything is free.

  Your Membership plan is: Annual
  2 Downloads / Month - free

  So it looks like you can read the online content ( courses, books, etc ) but downloading courses, books, etc, require payment. Downloads require "credits" and you are only given 2 credits with your free membership. Credits must be purchased. Not sure if this is a limit of these free accounts, or if that is ( likely ) their business model for all accounts.

  bottom line: if you want to learn html / css / javascript / jquery / etc, and are happy to do so online, it looks like a good resource. But if you want to download and learn offline, it's going to cost you.

  They assume you will have graduated in 3 years, so I think the free membership plan will expire after that.

    More than likely right, won't be able to report back to this thread in 3 years though!
