My name is Aaron Francis.

I'm a software developer, database educator, and content creator. (More importantly though, I'm a dad to two (!) sets of twins!)

I created this course because I love databases and want more software developers to feel empowered to work with them.

If you want to get in touch you can always find me on Twitter or shoot us an email [email protected].

Wow, Aaron, you’re a natural at this! Here I am struggling to record videos and watching yours isn’t making that easier! You just set the bar a bit higher for me now!

If you've never done a screencast course before, this 100% will be all you need to get going. As someone who has done a few courses before, I'm still finding it full of great tips!

Binged it in one night. LOVED IT, can’t wait for the additional video tear downs. Those really helped highlight optimizations and how to think when setting up my own.

Not sure how Aaron Francis does it, but everything he works on, he does with a lot of heart and brain. The results are special. So this course is for sure as well!

The quality of these videos is truly impressive, and yet, it still feels like Aaron Francis just jumped on a Zoom call to teach me. Very friendly and approachable teaching style.

Thanks to Aaron Francis for motivating me to start recording. Stoked to have a podcast and do more product demos/walkthroughs. I learned a lot through his screencasting.com series!

If you make video content for developers, I strongly recommend the screencasting.com course! I took the course last year and was able to greatly increase the quality of my videos.

Probably the hardest thing in the whole hiker_dev process: talking to a camera. Thanks Aaron Francis for screencasting.com, we still have lots to improve but your course made us take the leap! 🙏

Just finished Aaron Francis’ screencasting.com and it inspired me to change up my setup for the millionth time. Also, I wish this course existed years ago. I’ve had to learn most of the things Aaron teach by trial an error, but also learned a few new things. screencasting.com is worth it!

Just watched some of the free videos on screencasting.com from Aaron Francis, and I think I'm going to buy this one. I'm already applying some of Aaron's pieces of advice I heard in the wild, and everything I've heard so far has been fantastic.

One thing that surprised me about Aaron Francis' Screencasting.com is how preparing your space video shows how to maximise such a small amount of space, I have improved my VC game already from what I have watched, love it so far...

There's a great course I picked up a while ago that covers lighting along with loads of other screencasting tips at screencasting.com. Aaron is fantastic and I highly recommend it if you're looking to upgrade your screencast game.

Can highly recommend the screencasting.com course by Aaron Francis. He recommends ScreenFlow, but has alternatives for Windows too.

I'm following Aaron Francis' course on screencasting.com to level up until I can record my first real content and screencasts. 1 hour in, and it's awesome so far!

I know I've shouted about this before, but the number of times I've referred back to a video in this course in the last couple of weeks is, well, many. Aaron Francis created a super practical, no fluff course that's worth five times the price.

Shout out to Aaron Francis for putting together his course screencasting.com. I've wanted to create video content for some time, but have been hesitant, because getting started is overwhelming. I tore through the course and here's one of my first videos.

Five!! The first course was great. This is a must buy if you're dabbling in screen casting. You don't need to be a streamer or building a course to benefit from these skills. We all share our ideas with our colleagues and friends. These courses give you the tools to give those videos just the right amount of polish for your audience. Strong recommend!

I wanted to up my screencasting game, so I bought the screencasting.com course by Aaron Francis. I’m about halfway through, and it’s worth every penny 👌 Maybe in my next videos I’ll sound more like an actual human being 😛 I’m motivated to show my talking head now.

Learned a lot from screencasting.com by Aaron Francis. I leveled up hard. It made such a big difference that I might have to re-record the previous lessons because the new stuff is just that much better🫨

Also just bought your screen casting course and love it! You’re a natural teacher, and I’m really gifted in teaching too, and now I’m realizing I should’ve started YouTube YEARS ago. Hoping it helps me grow @DidactPlatform 🤞
