    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.

    This is a perfect example of why some channels are more popular than others. I subscribed based on the content, not the author saying, "Don't forget to like an subscribe..." in the first ten seconds without earning the right to ask. Secondly, I've been a developer for over 20 years now. I could ask five different people what a RESTful api is and I would get five different answers. Your style of presenting is spot on! No bullshit, get to the point and move on to the next problem. Looking forward to watching more of your content. Keep it up!
