I have your book. It's a great read but I would not say it's "the same thing." :)

People pay for a specific teaching style and that's absolutely fine.

nothing wrong with seeing if the freeeee alternative works better before throwing out $70 tho.

Of course. Still, I thought it was worth clarifying that they are different so we don't automatically discourage people from trying out good content.

Oh, absolutely. I meant "the same" in the sense that it covers roughly the same material and follows roughly the same approach (building everything from putPixel()).
