That would heavily depend on whether you are coming at it from a theoretical math p.o.v. or a more applied p.o.v.
Not that the applied approach should leave out the theory, because theoretical stuff like this article give a great and intuitive understanding of linear algebra. However, the more theoretical treatments should set up things like rings, modules, and even category theory that are much less useful from an applied perspective.
For the theoretical approach I've heard good things about 'linear algebra done right'. I imagine it is less appealing for the applied approach. All I can say is be wary of the 'shut up and calculate' mindset in linear algebra. Getting the ideas behind the concepts is essentially a shortcut to understanding linear algebra without any downsides.

Having not taken a linear algebra course in college, does anyone have a recommendation for a book/course to follow?
