What, no discount codes for us?! No seriously, as much as I'm for free enterprise, it feels awkward to see you promote an (expensive!) course in a list where people offer not only their knowledge, but also the tools you use, for free.
I ignore whether this goes against posting rules, but even if it doesn't I wouldn't want this awesome resource to become a marketing platform.
