Got an email from Linkedin today saying they've acquired Lynda and are giving 21 days access for free.
I use a work Lynda account constantly whenever I have any downtime at work and have found it very beneficial for my specific area.
Not sure if you can sign-up now for Linkedin and get the offer, but worth a try.
Hope someone else can find a use for this.
For what it's worth Queenslanders can get free access to Lynda thanks to the State Library of Queensland.
