Online iOS Dev Course?

I am wondering if anyone is interested in an online iOS dev course where you learn to make apps that are currently in the app store. I published two apps recently which can serve as the content for the course (2 separate courses because one is more advanced than the other). Here are the apps:

1) PERC - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/perc/id907292964 Perc is an anonymous photo sharing app, a-la Yik-Yak with pictures. I developed it over a period of about 10 days in August and released it in September. It didn’t catch on with the college crowd so now it’s a portfolio app. Perc is the easier of the two apps because there are no user accounts, no registrations or logins. There is no web component either.

2) RADIUS - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mercurymq-radius/id926659377 I just released Radius over the weekend. It’s an app for finding local jobs of the beer-money variety: babysitting, dog walking, painting etc. Radius is much more advanced than Perc. There is user registration, a web app where users can manage their profiles, push notifications, SMS notifications (via Twilio), and other stuff. For the frontend, I used Angular and the backend is on App Engine, same as Perc.

COURSE PROPOSAL I'm trying to gauge the level of interest in a video series which will cover literally every line of code I wrote to create these apps (2 separate series, one for each). I will go through the entire project in Xcode and the backend in Google App Engine. For the Radius series, I will incorporate the work I did on the front end using AngularJS. Each course would cost $50 and consist of probably 25-30 videos (one hour each). On the videos, I will literally recreate the app and narrate what I did and why. I would also include downloadable code samples. If you think this is a good idea, let me know in the comments. If enough people do, than I will set up the landing page and signups for the course, etc and get the ball rolling. Thanks!
