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.
