9.1: What is Firebase? (Database as a Service) – Programming with Text

In this video, I introduce the concept of “Database as a Service” (DBaaS). I discuss how you can store data in a web application written with client-side JavaScript only. This is the first video in a tutorial series about Firebase. This video is part of the “Programming from A to Z” ITP course.

    I've paused your video 3:45 in just to thank you. I'm currently developing an iOS app and I have a dev server running on a raspberry pi. I'm also looking (or should I say, was looking) to write a PHP framework to communicate with my server and act as the web service in between the app and the pi server. Now you've explained what things like Firebase are, it makes sense for me to use that…. why re-invent the wheel 馃檪

    Hey, Dan! If I wanted people to be able to permanently record themselves on my site and have what they've recorded be always accessible to others, to listen to, would it be possible and if so how? I have no problem with making the recorder, it is just when it comes to saving what I have recorded onto the firebase database, is where I am a little lost.

    Its very hard explain coding as you do it for us. Your are THE BEST teacher of coding I have ever seen. Thanks a lot for doing all the research and explaining us in a very simple manner…. 馃檪

    Hi, awesome videos. I am new to this, but how would you secure the firebase credentials information in the js file?

    HI Dan! It appears that you can host sites on Firebase to have a DB+Hosting AIO solution. Can you do a series that shows how to create some content that gets hosted to a public URL that has some basic database submission properties? Perhaps implementing a (basic) competitive snake game or your agar.io game. The free version supports up to 100 concurrent users, so you should be able to test it fairly well!

    Daniel, you're like the Bob Ross of coding.

    Seriously.

    Everytime I click on a video of yours I'm just smiling when you ring that thing in the beginning of your videos haha! Thanks Daniel, I get excited to learn new things evertime, it's just a problem that I'm quite lazy to learn.
