Maybe also check out wintellectnow.
Its not as prolific as Pluralsight, but may fill in some of the gaps. They have a CSS course that is quite old but still relevant.
They have an App, but I found they didn't always update the content as quickly as the website, which was annoying.

I'd not heard of that one. Thanks for the suggestion.

Udemy is also pretty good.

Good to know. Never used it but I've heard of it.

On the LinkedIn Learning section where you say, "It costs $25 per year to subscribe, so it's cheaper than the other offerings," that is grossly incorrect. According to their page, they offer two packages. One for $29.99 a month for people who will only use it a short time, and the other package that costs $25 a month for those who plan to keep their account long term.

I stand corrected. I suppose some might want to trial the service for a month or two, so yes in that case it is a bit more expensive.

Hi Rehan,
You missed out on some great resources that perhaps you can add if you do a v2 of this article? That would be really interesting, and dare I say most comprehensive.
O'Reilly Very comprehensive library that includes PACKT and other resources. You also get access to books, videos and other interesting content. A must in IMHO. https://learning.oreilly.com/
Udacity They offer courses/nano degrees in a lot of the latest hot-trends in IT such as Machine Learning, AI, Autonomous driving etc. I think a great place to start if you're thinking of pivoting your career within IT. I almost did and was looking to do an Udacity course
Udemy I think there are some real gems of courses out there but there's also some very average courses. Can be a bit of a hit & miss, so you need to try out some modules and look at ratings/comments judiciously. They do offer a great breadth of subjects including and outside of IT. If there's a niche subject that isn't covered by the main sites, then Udemy might probably have it. Kirill Eremenko (Data Science), Neil Cummings (Angular) and Gergely Kalapos (.NET) are some of the better instructors I came across in Udemy.
Coursera More academic slanted and you can do all the courses for free if you wish. Andrew Ng (Stanford Uni) Machine Learning course is the famous one, but I also highly recommend "Learning how to Learn" by Barbara Oakley as it will change how you approach learning.
Educative.io This site gets a special mention for its "Grokking the System Design Interview" course which paid for itself as the next interview I had afterwards featured a design question from it. There's some interesting niche topics out there might be of interest, especially the interview courses.

Thanks for this list. Since I haven't personally used any of these and can't personally speak about their quality, I didn't add them.

Hopefully you'll get the opportunity to try out some of the resources in the near future, and talk about it :)

Educative: Interactive Courses for Software Developers subscription form does not clearly says that they are going to automatically charge you. I used it for the a month and then stopped, they continued to charge me 40$ per each month till I noticed it. I'm ok to pay for the first month, but 3 other transactions has to be returned, obviously they do not want to return the money and that fraud practice of steeling people money they call "subscription refund policy". So be careful with them.
