Ask HN: Do you or anybody you know need my programming video course

Hi Guys and Gals I am working on a 2 to 3 hour video course, to teach basic coding principles for newbies. I plan to teach 4 languages and the promise is to teach it all in one day. The course is not about getting someone a coding job in one day but it is about getting someone from zero to three in a scale of one to ten in one day. I'm targeting newbies who are having hard time getting through the basics and non technical people who want to know the basics of programming. I'm planning to price the course at $99. I'm wondering if there is demand for what I am making. Please tell me if you need this or know some one who might need this.

"the promise is to teach it all in one day".. really? Do you have any proof of "your way of teaching" could do that OR is this just a old fashioned promise? If just a promise then $99 is way too much considering enormous amount of free learning content available on internet.

  Hi I know it sounds crazy. But I see that as an oppurtunity. I have a youtube channel where I teach HTML CSS and Git in my mother toungue, I have a lot of positive reviews for my simple to understand method of teaching. That being said I'm charging $99 because I'll save you days or months of users time by making something difficult very easy and a task that can be completed in a day and I'm so confident I can assure the results, I will have a 100% no questions asked money back guarantee. Although I still have to validate if my language will be good enough in voice, since english is my second language and I don't speak english that often Link to my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/sathishmanohar https://www.youtube.com/user/sathishmanohar

Why not continue to focus on Tamil and other languages where transitioning to the English based idioms of programming languages represents a significant hurdle?

  I wish I can concentrate on Tamil too. The thing is I need to make some kind of money to keep going so I had to go to the paying markets. I think my product is going to be superior in some ways than existing products.
