I certainly wouldn't pay for a class from a spammer but if it's legit in teaching anything I'd be interested in checking out a free tutorial.

Number of current job openings is not an indicator of whether a language is dying.  You'd have to see long term trends.  Having fewer job openings could be a good thing if it's gaining popularity and there's a lot fewer developers applying.
