Maybe ask your employer if they have this already.
We got loads of PluralSight logins with our MSDN accounts

We have Plurasight at our work for all our technical staff (developers, testers) and its really good. The collection of tutorials and guides are really extensive and well made. I'd recommend this for free for sure.

we use Pluralsight at work and it's pretty good.
The Android app is quite good, you can play back to a Chromecast (sadly, you don't appear to be able to speed up the playback like you can in the web browser playback).

Pluralsight used to offer a 6 months trial with a Visual Studio account but this is still a great deal. Heat from me.
There are some decent courses on Pluralsight and I like the interface.
Besides, VS Code is an awesome code editor. I've switched over from Atom.

I think so. I've only seen 3 month trials recently.

Just wanted to add that you will not have access to Cloud Servers and course labs on LA.... Only available for paid subscribers (currently paying USD15.00/mths).... You can setup your test servers locally or use vagrant to get pre-conf servers.... HTH
