10/10/2016This course begins with a simple application specification and builds it one step at a time. Each chapter includes a key concept, with examples from other public APIs, and then shows how to build it yourself with Slim. Learn about URL routing, validating input, and generating response codes and hypermedia payloads. Like any project, the first implementation may be a little messy but don't worry. The last chapter covers refactoring and what it takes to scale and support the API going forward.

- [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.
