Pimp legacy PHP apps with Apigility - TrueNorthPHP 2014
So you have spent the last few years building PHP applications but now the business requirements have changed and you need to provide a full featured REST API. You could invest time, money and energy building it yourself, but have a look at Apigility. This is a full REST management application build on ZF2 allows you to tap into your existing legacy PHP application and provide 100% REST endpoints to the outside world. In this talk I go over the challenges we had to deal with creating our own REST implementation, throwing it all away because we only had 20% of the features of Apigility and setting up and managing Apigiltiy using our existing legacy PHP application. After this talk you will get a good understanding how to use Apigility to manage your REST API̢
