Learning Skills Online

Udemy
A usefull site for a wide range of subject areas including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, C#. However it costs between £70-£150 per course. The courses have customer reviews and there are over 32,000 courses now. Visual Paradigm is using CodeCademy for its online courses which are free. I have not tried these.

CodeCademy
There are only a few courses available, but they are free and they are interactive. They include HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery. TI have tried them, and they are of middling quality.

SitePoint Premium
They focus on Web Development, and I have tried them and the quality of the courses is high although they are not interactive. The cost is reasonable at $9/month, although you have to sign up for one year. The main SitePoint website has many good articles, and they publish excellent books on web development. The range of courses is limited to HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and ASP.NET

ASP.NET
This is an excellent free site for any of the Microsoft based technologies including MVC and Web Forms. They have tutorials and videos on a range of topics but those do not include non microsoft langauges such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
