9.3: Firebase: Retrieving Data - Programming with Text

In this video, I demonstrate how to retrieve data from Firebase (Google database as a service product). The example is a high score list but the data can be anything of course. This video is part of the "Programming from A to Z" ITP class.

Oh my goodness! I am working on a group coding project and someone decided to use Firebase to host our project, but I have been having one heck of a time figuring out what I am even doing and got totally overwhelmed with all of the online documentation and lack of noob-friendly examples. You, my good sir, have totally lifted so much of that fog. I suuuper appreciate that you are doing everything that you are, walking us through not only the code but also the logic behind the code. My only complaint is that I didn't find these videos of yours a few days ago. :D

Sometimes I don't really understand what's going on in the clips because I don't really know programming but I like watching the videos because of your energy sparkling personality, keep it up

2:00 I don't understand: How does the *gotData* function have the data parameter if it was not passed it when it was called from the *on* function
Explain please

I know this comment is super late, but I wanted to thank you for this series. I've been struggling with understanding and utilizing firebase and you super helped a ton! I'm not using p5.js so I almost didn't watch this... but var keys = Object.keys(score); was just what I needed to make sense of firebase! Thanks!

[adamwoolf]

this is so cool!! having got writing and reading from FBase going really easily, I am amazed how hard it is to delete/edit. Thanks for animated, efficient teaching!

[AliveNotDeadmund]

I needed this explained urgently, and you did it so thoroughly I actually understood what was going on. And you're so humble! You're a goddamn hero.
