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.
