I am still trying to decide whether to get foundry or foundation and I see that RealMac is selling it’s foundry tutorials for 40$ while Foundation seems to have theirs on Youtube for free. Amirite?

I think free tutorials would make me lean over to the right side to foundation… unless foundry does the same.

That’s an old tutorial set, I think it’s Pre version 2. Here is a free one from that same timeline.

@pacman7293 Foundry has a ton of videos and great written documentation. See here:

> **[Foundry Documentation](https://foundry.elixirgraphics.com/documentation/)**
>
> Learn how to use the Foundry framework's suite of stacks with our extensive documentation and tutorial videos.

Most of the specific document pages also have a video.

In case you did not find it, here is the full playlist of all Foundation 6 videos… [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAwL8Kl4ijMq9cBtV5mJAoxqcwDqj1mut](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAwL8Kl4ijMq9cBtV5mJAoxqcwDqj1mut)

The videos are also broken up into various groups here…

> **[Site Styles | My Website](https://www.foundationstacks.com/demo/site-styles/)**

Also every settings is documented inside each stack. When you hover over the settings inside Stacks, I put in explanation and applicable tips to help you out.

Good afternoon @pacman7293 –

Relating to your original topic of whether Foundry has free tutorials or not… **Yes** is the answer. All of my tutorials are free. You can access them [on the Foundry site](https://foundry.elixirgraphics.com), as well as on the [YouTube channel](http://youtube.com/ElixirGraphics). This lets you watch them where you’d like to.

The videos that I think you found that are paid are Realmac Software’s tutorial series they did themselves relating to Foundry. As @teefers points out though, @dan also did a nice series recently that is also free, which you can find here:

Part 1: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWk69\_PT4Rw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWk69_PT4Rw)  
Part 2: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc5g3WoyWHA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc5g3WoyWHA)  
Part 3: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-w2Ktel3TI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-w2Ktel3TI)

He did a very nice job with these.

All of the [documentation](https://foundry.elixirgraphics.com/documentation) and [tutorial videos](https://foundry.elixirgraphics.com/tutorials) are free. Most all of the stacks have a video on their documentation pages. For instance if you want to know about using the Banner stack you can go to the [Banner documentation page](https://foundry.elixirgraphics.com/documentation/banner) and you have both written documentation as well as a tutorial video.

Documentation and tutorial videos are very important, and I try to make sure to have a good selection fo both to help you out.

You’re very welcome. And additionally there is also a Foundry forum as well, which is linked to from the front page of the Foundry site.
