How much can Lynda.com help me?

[Naruke Alpha]

Well the thing  need help is, next august I'll be starting University and I'll be doing a bachelor in Computer Engineering, but I don't know how to code, and i kinda don't want to wait until my 3rd year of Uni to start coding, so I was thinking if i could learn C C++ C# and java in Lynda.com in a way that I can actually pass my classes with 95+%.  

 

Bottom line is, I want to know if i can learn this summer at least C and C++ good enough for my goal, and to start making small programs to get the hang of it so I can be ready for the future.  Is Lynda.com worth the investment? anyone that has learn to code with the service and can tell me how the experience is?

As with any education: Lynda.com can only help you as much as you're willing to spend the time to learn.

well, didn't see it completely that way, but i am willing to put on the effort into learning, like, its something i really want to do and learn how to, probably 4+ would be dedicated in hours a day in summer to be honest

In that case, as long as you keep that, Lynda.com can be just as good as many universities.

I've been considering the trail or the last 2 or 3 weeks now. There's a lot of topics I want to learn about, photography, advanced social network marketing, web design (i suck at code, so this will be a difficult one to teach me) advanced inDesign/photoshop/illustrator. I'm actually interested to see how in depth and how many fields they cover. There's a potential for it to be BETTER than you're typical diploma education. Most online courses which cost significantly more probably teach you the same fundamentals, so I wouldn't be surprised of Lynda.com is actually a huge cost reducer.

Incoming 4th year Computer Engineering here, Tip: I always use youtube for guides (it helps a lot)

I would say try to invest you will learn a lot there at lynda.com. my fellow use it for their studies also.
