$==Commitment

Paul Hudson’s 100 Days of Swift UI course is free – the videos are on YouTube, all the reading and tasks are available on his website for free. Although I assumed he made his living from the prodigious number of Swift books he’s written, he doesn’t push them in the course (except for his free book Swift UI by Example).

He’s so unpushy, I didn’t realise till a few days ago that you could pay to become a “subscriber” to Hacking with Swift. Really, he’s too nice.

There are some goodies that come with the + subscription (one I’m likely to use later is the book discount) , but really I was very happy to sign up for a year for a couple of reasons:

• Paul is a major contributor to the Swift community, and especially to beginners like me. The world is a better place if he can afford to keep doing that.
• This extra commitment, which is a tiny fraction of what I could spend on a bootcamp, makes it more likely I’ll complete the course, and puts a time limit on it – if I don’t complete it in the year, I’ll feel compelled to pay again.
