[Blackpool] Udemy - Introduction to Raspberry Pi

[Arthur Garlick]

Hi,
Just blasted through that pi course, wasn't relevant to me.  Very little detail, already out of date in places and  hacking Christmas lights has been better done elsewhere.  What was the full price $80?... omg three months of Lynda would be way better value.
 
Keen to hear of other training things if you see any.
 
 
I felt I had to actually give Lynda some money it was only fair, having taken the unofficial torrent based freemium option in the past. 
 
cheers
 
Arthur
