Thanks for the course! I have a question unrelated to the contents: Why did you choose to release it for free? I guess you spent a lot of time preparing it, so I assume there must be some kind of (non-monetary?) benefit you expect to get from it.

There are already enough barriers to overcome when getting started, I didn't want money to be an additional barrier. I have a bunch of friends that want to learn to code, but have struggled with courses that try to get technical too quickly. My goal was to create the best resource for getting from 0 to 1.

I'm always going to offer this course, and a few others, for free. Having said that, some people want to keep learning after taking these courses. I'm going to offer a paid course that builds a full web app with users, payments, git, etc. People that take the paid course will be able to build just about any web app they want. My hope is, with a little more practice, they would be able to get a job as a web developer.
