COURSES at LYNDA.COM
I created many (many) courses at lynda.com before they were acquired by LinkedIn in 2015—when I moved to Pluralsight.
I’m extremely proud of the content I made while I was there— they became the most-watched and highest rated courses across the entire library. A few of these courses can still be found on LinkedIn Learning, but over the last few years others have been retired, replaced, or just removed. I know this has been a frustration for many viewers who enjoyed those courses, and I can only apologize—it’s not something I can control. (And if you haven’t seen them yet, check out my Pluralsight courses above!)
