Building APIs in PHP Using the Slim Micro Framework

- [Instructor] Hello, and welcome to building APIs in Slim. In this course, will start from a simple API specification, and begin building a useful API. We'll talk about everything from URL routes, and validating input, to generating HTTP response codes, and hypermedia payloads. Now generally, most developers will try to do this in one big step, going from no API whatsoever to a complete solution that solves every imagined problem. In my experience, that never works. First, there are requirements and information that you just don't have at the beginning of the project, but more importantly, your own understanding of the underlying problem, as the tools available, improves over time.

Therefore, we're going to approach this project the same way I recommend you approach every project, iteratively.
