As an older person that has done quite a bit of free teaching, I'd gently suggest that a good start would be to have the current generation be a little more generous towards us.

A lot of us are, indeed, tiresome old "OK boomers," but some of us (I'd like to think I'm one) may actually have something to contribute.

Here's an example of a simple course I gave on Core Bluetooth. It was not free, but try! Swift World does their courses for $50 a pop, which is pretty cheap (BTW: I donated the proceeds for my class to sponsor scholarships to other classes): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chrismarshallny_try-swift-wor...

Take note of the course materials. They basically teach the class on their own (also, they are entirely driven by some very intense READMEs).

In my experience, a couple of the better teachers on try! Swift World are relatively older ones, like Erica Sadun and Daniel Steinberg. Some of the younger ones are also excellent.
