- krrishd 12y agoOut of curiosity, are there plans to introduce Swift development? I see that it's primarily an Objective-C oriented course, which in light of recent revelations from Apple, may not be nearly as worth it as it was before WWDC.
- jvrossb 12y agoThere absolutely are! Note that most companies will be hiring Objective-C devs for many more years since existing code bases are not going anywhere and it's still unclear how much adoption Swift will get amongst non-hobbyists.
- krrishd 12y agoTrue, true. Either way, good luck, I think what you guys are doing for tech education, especially for the age group that you're addressing, is really awesome!

- NikolajMe 12y agoThis looks absolutely amazing. And as was said, i am really looking forward to enrolling once swift will get added since i suck at learning new stuff.
- 01Michael10 12y agoOnly iPhone game development? Sorry, no interest... Why limit your potential students by offering only one platform?
- ekianjo 12y agoEspecially, why limit the development to mobile devices when you can create much more impressive games for desktops and the like ?
- coralreef 12y agoWhy learn basic addition when you can learn calculus?

- kkhire 12y agoI definitely recommend this course! I've met the founders and have participated once in a flappy bird class. definitely a program considering if you want to have something to show recruiters when looking for jobs
- ilolu 12y agoIs there any online game development course for desktop games ?. Or how to go about learning game development for desktop games like Warcraft, Doom etc.
- truncate 12y agoI think you should be looking for courses targeting particular 3d game engines like Unreal, Unity etc. I found one for Unity which seems to be pretty popular. http://walkerboystudio.com/html/unity_training___free__.html http://walkerboystudio.com/html/unity_training___free__.html
- busterarm 12y agoIs anyone enrolling in this that has a friend spot they're not using? I'm interested, but not so much so that I'm able to justify spending $100 on it right now.
- confusedguy 12y agoIs anyone enrolling in this that has a friend spot they're not using? I don't have $100 :(
- wesley 12y agoyes, what's your email address?
- karlcoelho1 12y agocan I have that friend spot? :) me(at)karlcoelho.com
- celticninja 12y agoWe need to set up a swap system that allows people to gift their friend place to other interested parties. Do you accept BTC? paying in USD would he a pain for me.
- Chinpokoman 12y agoIf anyone has a friend spot available I would love to learn how to create games with this course. thechinpokoman@hotmail.com is my email. If everything works out I might even work with someone on a small project too, I'm an artist in my spare time and must admit my game programming skills aren't very good.

- Chinpokoman 12y agoOh, I should mention I've lurked HN for quite a few years, I just never had a reason to sign up until now!
- RankingMember 12y agoLooks like an awesome way to teach coding. I'd love it even more if there was a way to test run the first week, just to see what the style is like before dropping $100.
- RankingMember 12y agoI'll take a guest spot if anyone's got one - rod4400 at yahoo

- dataminded 12y agoIf anyone has a quest spot, I'd really appreciate it. rafael at dataminded.net
- joshdance 12y agoIs there a list of games that the founders or past students have made?
- DesaiAshu 12y agoStudents from our in person course: www.mgw.us/games
- mlangdon 12y agoAs long as we're looking for free stuff, my email is in my profile, if someone is incline to unburden themselves of a friend spot.
- mathattack 12y agoIt seems like there is a market mechanism missing here. We shouldn't be handing out free spots just for free. It should be in the form of, "I'll pay for your free spot if you commit to X hours of programming in return." Perhaps we use Karma as a proxy for trustworthiness and commitment? So here's the deal I will offer. I will sign up over the weekend, and will give the free offer to someone. If you have over 1000 Karma, list how many hours of programming you'll offer me on a silly TBD side project (don't offer anything ridiculous like 100) and I'll pay for at least one of you. (I'm between gigs, otherwise I'd offer this to a dozen folks) You just have to promise that you'll finish the class no matter what, and give me a couple hours.
- hgsigala 12y agoIf anyone is willing to go 50/50 let me know! theadictspunk (a) gmail
- Lacju 12y agoI would seriously appreciate a friend spot if anyone has one that they aren't going to use. I would sign up for this in a heartbeat but I just had to blow my whole paycheck renewing my license and registration. Happy birthday indeed.
- jloden 12y agoI signed up with a friend to split the costs in half but he didn't go through with it. Anyone interested in grabbing a spot for $50?
