Post subject: | PHP and REST advice |
Hi All, OK, looking for a bit of advice for where to start really. I've done a bit (i.e. a single, almost static, reconstruction of Facemash (a la Mark Zuckerburg)) written in PHP with a mySQL back end all hosted on my linux box. TBH I've pretty much forgotten all of it since then. However, I've come up with an idea and I want to get back into it. Properly this time though. I also want to be able to call RESTful services on it from my iPhone. Does anyone have a good place to start with this. I'm open to any sort of suggestions (books, blogs, videos, etc...). Thanks Oliver |

I learnt on the fly (started new job, not knowing PHP and had to re-write the inhouse CMS system in PHP the first day). I used w3schools. I would look at the Zend Framework - the framework is open source and excellent, the tools to auto generate code etc. in Eclipse cost money; you don't need them. The Zend site was also very good. I knocked up a 75,000 lines of source code product tracking website, with Doctype documentation of around 400 pages in a couple of months and it ran very nicely and was very easy to maintain and extend. |

Ruby on Rails will provide you with a way of creating a website from database content, and you can bake in REST too, IIRC. There are a number of books on it, but I'm afraid I'm not sure what the best one would be. Though Twitter reckons it doesn't scale well: http://www.readwriteweb.com/cloud/2011/ ... r-java.php Perl has a similar framework called Catalyst. I believe Python has something similar. Then there is Java Enterprise... It doesn't all have to be PHP ![]() |
