Product Hunt redirects you to: http://bitfountain.io/course/the-complete-ios-7-course-learn... (which makes the course free).

What's the deal with people linking to Product Hunt comments instead of the original article, it's not the first time I've seen it happen.

Also a deal for the iOS8 version, of course, from $499 > $79! http://bitfountain.io/course/complete-ios8/?couponCode=presa... . I am not connected to the company, but found the link to the deal :-)

Any coupon for the Happy Bird clone tutorial?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

There is no $500/month price tag. The course is completely free.

OP's site is free. I was answering to the ad for the thinkful.com site posted above - which asks $500/m.

Apparently you only get it free if you're going through Product Hunt. Somewhat irritating, as I'd like to avoid going to Product Hunt whenever possible.

Hm. On the homepage the price is listed as part of the main description of the course. You're not the first to make this point – there's definitely something to it. We'll have to rethink appropriately. Surprises like this in funnels are not a winning strategy.

You just need to visit the the page with the "phunt" coupon code in the url, it doesn't check for a Product Hunt referrer.

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?

I'd learn Objective-C if you have any intention of trying to be employed doing iOS. There's going to be a ton of legacy code, and any apps developed from 2008-2014 will have large Objective-C codebases, guaranteed. Swift is designed for interoperability with those codebases, so you'll need to know how to read and understand the legacy code for some time to come, even if Apple eventually deprecates Objective-C in favor of Swift.

If you're doing development for yourself or your own edification, though, you could totally skip Objective-C. It might be worth it to get an overview of the syntax so you can read StackOverflow answers and tutorials about Apple's APIs (which are by far the biggest part of learning iOS dev), but otherwise skipping straight to Swift should be fine.
