If you are Microsoft focused, you should check Microsoft Learn, they offer higher quality learning material than pluralsight and linkedin learning Microsoft Learn | Microsoft Docs

I've been leanring Dynamics 365 for the last few weeks from there, much better quality material than what I found on some paid course places

That would be because it is the new course material - learn.microsoft.com is up to date - the previous course material is focussed on previous versions before the large move to Azure.

I am learning Docker at Learn Docker!

It's free. Very well produced and presented. Each step is a gentle increment and doesn't overwhelm newbie like me.

If like me your Pluralsight renews automatically at full price. Email support stating you want to cancel your subscription because of the offer.

They will refund you the difference. Done this twice now.

Free Python courses ?

My kid (in year 7) wants to learn the basics of Python, as it's something they will be covering soon.
I'm not paying for CodeAcademy, as they'll be bored and onto something else next week (a bit like the guitar that got a few days play and then stuck in the cupboard)

Microsoft Learn has an Introduction to Python course, ~1hr, plus a follow-on. Looks like that'll do, but wondered if there's anything else out there worth looking at ?

Cheers.
