Feature description

Make an introductory training video on msw yourself, or make it so that the egghead series linked to in the Introduction section is free of charge. Alternatively make it explicitly clear, that the course is behind a subscription. Or remove the reference, so that new users are not fooled, and will continue reading instead.

Hi 👋

You can find free introductory videos on MSW's YouTube channel. The README also clearly mentions Documentation numerous times, which contains everything the Egghead course contains, and much more. And it's free!

The Egghead link is not going anywhere. I've spent years building MSW. I am still building MSW, despite so many companies using it and not giving back. You can support the project by watching the paid courses I do on it. And yes, that is more than a good practice.
