Learn to program the C64! For only $110/year!

I don't quite know what to make of this...
https://gumroad.com/l/64bites#
Quoting Greedy fucker

Each week you'll get a short, ~5-minute video covering a small bit of BASIC, 6502/6510 assembly and the architecture of Commodore 64.

Along with the video you'll receive a complete transcript of the episode, source code examples and additional show notes.
You'll also get access to all previously released episodes.
You can watch them online on any device or download for your convenience DRM free.


Is this guy serious? :)

Just tried a little google search with related: c64 programming and this came up... weird.

I think it's darn alright making money from retro knowledge. If there's demand for it... why not?! ;D

What's wrong with doing a Google search ? :-) or the hardware reference manual :-)

yeah, remember in my time just the info on how to make a true raster irq (instead of busy wait) was like the holy grail.

Can't imagine anyone interested in C64 coding is THAT big a fool. If sb is retro-interested enough to find that advert, they should also be able to find out about codebase, C64-wiki, forums where fools help other fools for free and do not make any false promises like "effortless"

Worst thing is a bad teacher. Learn yourself and have the uniqueness

I also wonder who the audience is. Loose-money enthusiast users aren't interested in getting into coding.

Selling hardware, however, now that'll get sales from them...
