Of course, there are lots of iOS courses available, but Eliot Arntz is regarded as great instructor and this bitfoundation course looks solid to me. The free offers seems only valid through the producthunt website, so I had to link there and you have to click thru.

Just FYI, this is Objective-C. For developers completely new to iOS, is this a good starting point or we better skip straight to Swift?

Swift was designed for beginners and in our experience it delivers. We (http://www.thinkful.com/) recommend Swift for beginners and the students in our Swift classes the last few months agree!

Announcing a $500/month price tag _after_ an email signup dripping with trackers is not so inspiring. Hopefully you teach better design practices in your lessons?

I'd say at this point either is fine. Swift is still changing a lot (breaking changes) and the open source ecosystem around it will be lacking for a while. Objective-c is mature with a good ecosystem around it. I've developed in objc for 6 years and learning the basics of Swift was simple for the sole reason that it's the cocoa API's which are important. Once you know them the language is just a different syntax for accessing the same features.
