Teaching Databases, Writing PHP, and Independent Work with Aaron Francis
Today's episode is with database educator, PHP enthusiast, and all-around good guy Aaron Francis.
Aaron is one of the best out there at delivering high-quality educational content. Somehow, he's managed to have three different video courses sell over $100k in wildly different fields -- a college corporate accounting class aide, video screencasting, and high-performance SQLite.
In this episode, we talked about a lot of things, including:
- Why (and when!) to use SQLite
- What courses he's looking at next
- How to stay sharp when doing educational content
- His origin story as a programmer
- Getting kids to be high agency
- How PHP became classy.
