Your videos have helped me a lot. I am a 47 year old single mom going back to school to become a website design/developer. All of the code languages are very overwhelming, but your stories are very inspiring to me. I need a good pep talk from time to time because sometimes I don't feel worthy. My drive to succeed is definitely there, it's just that I second guess myself sometimes. Thanks for all your videos. They are very informative.

As someone who once had trouble explaining the concepts for REST, AJAX, HTTP, TCP/IP, this video has been incredibly helpful. Thanks!

Awesome, for months i've been struggling wit REST APIs - kind of understanding it but not really - and now after 18minutes I understand it and can start using them by myself. Gotta love the internet!

I found your channel a couple of days ago and ever since I've been binge watching your videos! You give such clear explanations in a way that's not boring so I always seem to come back and learn some new stuff. Thanks a million times for the effort you take into making these videos!

I apologize for sounding like I am about to fall asleep in this video :)

You are definitely one of the best programming channels on YouTube. You make great tutorials and tutorials about the technologies used in the tutorials. Simply amazing. Can't get better value from paid courses. Thanks!

I found this video extremely helpful. I decided to make a career transition about a year ago, and I've been studying web development for about 9 months. It's been tricky to get a bird's eye view of web dev to see where my strengths and my gaps in knowledge are at this point. Thank you for making this!

You, sir, are a legend. I’m really glad I found this channel, there’s so many instructive videos that provide real world examples and explanations. Unlike many other videos on YouTube where I feel like i’m simply copy/pasting, I genuinely understand and learn from yours.

Scrum Masters across the land thank you! It is so wonderful to find this perfect balance of ample technical content and fast, digestible and instantly recallable content. In an ocean of narcissism and self involved, annoying and irrelevant clips, your humble approach is like a balm to my soul.

I have seen a lot of API design videos. Yours is the most clear and well-explained, with very appropriate examples to go through. Kudos!

[jacobcline]

I have been battling to understand the concept of REST and what it all means and have spent waaaay too much time coding along like a zombie with some tutorials. This was a breath of fresh air. It's finally coming together. I don't get why others make it so complex.

[akugoms]

only 3 minutes in and I've learn more than an hour from other videos. Long live dude speaking!

[kevinmcfarland]

I usually don't take the time to leave comments, but your analogy explaining what an API is, cut through a mountain of confusing mumbo jumbo... Thank you,

[jeremybrews]

Because your videos are simply Thanks buddy

[LTTheeArtist]

Man, I have to say. This is the best explanation of an api and how to test it. I viewed other videos, and they forget that they are talking to an amateur when they're teaching this stuff. Thanks so much

[calogiga]

What a pleasure to learn everyday with you ! I'm always downloading yours new videos, and take them with me everywhere... So, I'm learning as soon as it's possible : in the train, the bus, the park, the toilets... Thanks again, Brad !!!!

[christiechristopherson]

Thank you for this video! I'm a technical writer (not a programmer), but I need to understand ReST APIs. I look forward to watching more of your videos. You do a great job of explaining the concepts simply, and I like how you follow up with examples. I'm excited to learn more!

[javiscodegt]

This guy is fenomenal!!! Very nice, easy & clean to understand the web world and all the ups & downs!!! Congrats Brad!!!
