So good. I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I'd love more beginner videos about how to build a simple CRUD app that lets PG do the heavy lifting.

Most web frameworks focus on routing/validations/sessions and new programmers like me tend to write the data storage logic around the library, even though SQL is so much nicer and intuitive for this sort of thing.

This sentiment is part of what inspired PG Casts. The database can do lots of powerful things that framework ORMs tend to keep in the shadows. We want to make the DB more accessible!

I started an awesome postgres SQL repo on github but haven't started to commit to It. I think we share a common goal, but mine isn't as ambitious in that video requires even more effort!

An important part of this (that I've still not really figured out) is, if you're pushing much of your validation in the DB, how & where to interpret the different validation errors you might receive, and pass back through your application for turning into friendly messages, highlighting formfields, etc, etc.
