This is amazing, the same way Expo is making mobile development easy for React Native developers

Thank you Brad, you are amazing 👏

I switched to go for backend web server development. I use React/Typescript via vitejs for frontend web development. I'm not going back to express unless I have a specific use case. I use docker mainly but sometimes kubernetes (k3s) for deployment and hosting. Not a fan of devops so I just use Gitlab for checking in code and the container registry for images I build for docker and k3s. I probably wouldn't have my job today with out this channels tutorial videos. It been over there years since I watched Brad's express tutorial. I'd be interested in seeing a go video. Anyway thank you for such great videos! I dropped a like 👍

Will you ever make a course on Wordpress?

Took your Modern Javascript and Freelance Mastery courses. Taking your PHP course now.

Learning Wordpress now through some Udemy courses, along with some marketing/SEO and UI/UX design courses so I can start freelancing soon.

Really wish I could learn Wordpress from you though. You're by far my favorite programming educator online.

Would not use this if I had to use an account to deploy. Talk about vendor lock in.

How to migrate from ExpressJS to Encore?

[oussaber]

forgot to mention that you can't deploy somewhere else, vendor locked by design

[johnnycincocero]

Dude, have you been working out? You look swole!

[onkark]

Hi Brad, I am stuck in Tutorial Hell. How to come out?

[SmartWizzard]

Thank you Brad! I got a question. I don't want to use docker for PostgreSql, cause I got it installed on my machine locally. I have searched the docs for TS support for connecting to an existing db, but no clues. There is a section for this with GO though. Do you know how can I connect to an existing PostgreSql db, with a connection string maybe? It is kinda strange to force you to use Docker but not an existing db.
