I have paid for Pluralsight in the past (right now I have a free subscription).

In my experience the courses are fairly comprehensive, and the quality of the videos is high.

Pluralsight started out fairly Microsoft-heavy, but their course catalog is expanding all the time into different platforms and technologies.

For what you get I think the price is reasonable.

I second pluralsight.

Anecdotal: I tried learning angular2/TS through egghead but found I wasn't grasping simple fundamental concepts though the videos were quality. Tried pluralsight and they start from a point that gradually built my confidence in my knowledge. Been doing more and more courses on there pretty decently.

I will continue to checkout egghead first and pluralsight second if I'm not grokking it.

Disclaimer: Prior company provided egghead license, current company has a pluralsight employee license.

Third recommendation for Pluralsight. My company also pays for it. I've watched 4 classes and they were all information-dense and easy to follow, although I found myself hitting pause and rewind a lot to take notes. At the end of each I felt at least competent enough to get started and look up other details when necessary.
