This course is Free -- what is the catch?

This course consists of all of my free uploads on the D programming language to YouTube.

There are ads from YouTube (if you do not have YouTube premium)
The playlist will slowly get updated over time as I upload
The benefit to you is you can get involved in discussions with others following the playlist
You get to track your progress as you complete each video--so you know exactly where you left off!

That is all there is to it!

FAQ

So this is just a course with all of your free YouTube videos?

Correct. They're listed in the order that I released them in YouTube. Generally speaking, that's the order you should follow the series, though you can pick and choose as you like.
Will you ever do a paid version of this course?

Perhaps in the future if there's some demand for this subject.
Can you add additional exercises, code, and homework assignment?

For now, the content is what you see in the videos. In the future if I develop a paid course I would likely include things like exercises, code, etc.
