Day 1 of 20% Off All Courses

Long time no chat. I've been cooking up a new course title, "From Impostor to Programmer" and also learning OpenGL so haven't had time to write emails or start another sale. I'm kicking off a short 3 day only 20% off sale for those of you who want to get a new course.

I teach people to think for their self, with nothing more than a terminal, an editor, and a programming language.

From Impostor to Programmer

I've had a request for this course for a while, but I couldn't quite figure out how to work it. I've done many prototypes this month and haven't liked any of them. My latest idea is to teach C as a way to "GIT GUD," and I may have a proposed outline for it soon.

More on this later as I write up a blog post laying out how I came to this decision and why it might work as a way to go from thinking you're a programming fraud to knowing you're not.

C++ Almost Done

I've scaled back the C++ course to only have the final module I laid out last month. I feel that project went way off the rails and only needs that final module to really be complete.

Also, the size of the videos I'm going to make for the course will be larger, plus my hosting costs went up so it's now going to be $15 to cover costs, but it's still free to read.

20% Off All of These Courses

That's all for the ideas, now for the sales. Thanks for your consideration, and have a great weekend.

Learn C the Hard Way

$23.20 (was $29) Sure, we're living in a security hellscape because of C, but how are you going to fix it if you don't know why C's so broken?! I'm working on a game dev focused update that will be free for anyone who bought in 2026.

Learn JavaScript the Hard Way

$15.20 (was $19) A simple introduction to modern JavaScript for people who hate JavaScript as much as I do. Definitely check out my lesson on callbacks and async/await.

Learn C++ the Hard Way

$12.00 (was $15) Already my favorite course to work on and my favorite language to make weird ideas. C++ may not be pretty, but hot damn does it make pretty things. This one is nearly free and Module 3 is almost done.

Learn Go the Hard Way

$12.00 (was $15) A Go course that doesn't try to make you a corporate drone. I show you how to make a terminal based Roguelike game in 5 exercises, which is definitely not Google approved.

Learn More Python the Hard Way

$23.20 (was $29) A more advanced course that covers everything from how to write good code to parsing a tiny little BASIC language. I cover data structures, algorithms, parsing, SQL databases, and many things that programmers should learn about, not just in Python.

Learn Python the Hard Way, 5th Ed

$23.20 (was $29) Learn the basics of programming with Python. I have a 6th Edition in the and anyone who bought 5th Ed will simply get a free upgrade to 6th.

Learn Regex the Hard Way

$4.00 (was $5) A tiny little course that teaches Regular Expressions. If you're an aspiring Vim user, want to make a programming language, or want the ultimate text carving skill, then this course is the quickest way to learn Regular Expressions.
