This is awesome! Can't wait to watch it all later tonight. We use an older framework to build our APIs (Apigility) at work and the documentation sucks. I think this is the series I need to understand what's going on under the hood. Thank you!!

[MrBenjjj]

For those like me who are still quite new, doing it without frameworks is really useful as I actually learn a lot about how things work. Thank you!

Awesome video! I'm currently migrating to Web Development and these 32:17 minutes gave me a bunch of valuable stuff + the main theme of the video. I've subscribed and will certainly watch the other classes.
Thanks for your great contribution Brad.

Brad, not only are you a very bright and intelligent person, but you also posses the generosity to make amazing and professional tutorials like these for the community to view for free. Hats of to you sir :)

Hey thanks man! I'am currently working on my own CMS to make it easy for my clients to change text and all that stuff on the websides I build for them. It's all based on PHP in the backend and this tutorial is just what I was looking for. Because I#m experimenting with object oriented PHP and not that happy with my solution so far. So great that you help me with new input!

[jaimesastre]

wow, just saw your video. Great presentation making it all so easy. I knew all the pieces, but here put together so structured and clear, just perfect!! Bravo!

[lifelover]

Thank you for doing this with NO FRAMEWORK!
Frameworks come and go, but the language remains.
Many tutorials use {insert current trendy framework}, which obscures the inner workings of php.
Great job done, mate.

[NicholasIbarra]

Why? Why do you make life's hardest problems seem like nothing?! Your videos never fail to impress, you have a true talent. Thank you for this, I was looking for an easy way to implement a PHP back end without using an adapter framework. This is perfect!

As an old Informix DBA, esql server side vi guy I found this demo dead simple and it demystified what all the kiddies drone on about these days. Well done sir!
