The most common question that I get is How I Make YouTube Videos. I have held off on making this video because I’m definitely not an expert at making videos. I didn’t want anyone to think I thought I was either.
However, the past few videos have been about answering common questions so I decided to answer it. I use very cheap tools to make YouTube videos. So, in this video I will do my best to show you everything I use. Hopefully it will motivate you to make your own 🙂 Continue reading How I Make YouTube Videos

Welcome to my SQLite3 Tutorial! This tutorial is part of my Android Development Tutorial, so my Android tutorial is not over. I have many more videos on Android coming.
In this video I explain how to install SQLite3 on both Mac and Windows. I also cover how to use SQLite3 using the console. SQLite is an embedded relational database that doesn’t require a dedicated database management system. The database is part of your code and not an outside resource. The reason for creating SQLite was to provide a self contained database that was easy to use, could travel with the program using it and run on any machine with no other required software.
