RESTful PHP Web Services

RESTful PHP Web Services

Packt Publishing | 2008-10-30 | ISBN: 1847195520 | PDF | 3 Mb | 220 pages

Representational State Transfer (REST) is a form of software architecture; systems that follow it are often called RESTful. It is the architectural style that drives the World Wide Web (the motivation for REST was to capture elements that made the Web successful), and RESTful web services use simple protocols already familiar to web developers. RESTful web services are found in lots of places with big name Web APIs such as Flickr, and Yahoo search following a REST-based approach.

With any architectural style or approach, struggling with its basic concepts is just one problem - implementation in your favorite language is another, and that's where this book comes in. If you're a PHP developer, this book will show you how to create and consume RESTful web services in PHP, and make your services work well in the context of the Web.

You will learn about the basic concepts of REST, and then look at PHP tools, libraries and techniques for working with RESTful web services. You will see how to use other RESTful services from your PHP applications, and also how to engineer your PHP applications to make them RESTful.

This book is about implementing RESTful web services in PHP, and so the book is packed with example code and careful explanations.

What you will learn from this book?

* Basic concepts of REST architecture

* Consuming public REST-style services from your PHP applications

* Consuming RESTful web services, such as those from leading APIs such as Flickr, and Yahoo Web Search

* Making your own PHP applications accessible to other applications through a RESTful API

* REST support in the popular Zend framework

* Debugging RESTful services and clients

* A case study of designing a RESTful PHP service from the ground up, and designing clients to consume the service

iPhone 3D Programming

iPhone 3D Programming

What does it take to build an iPhone app with stunning 3D graphics? This book will show you how to apply OpenGL graphics programming techniques to any device running the iPhone OS — including the iPad and iPod Touch — with no iPhone development or 3D graphics experience required. iPhone 3D Programming provides clear step-by-step instructions, as well as lots of practical advice, for using the iPhone SDK and OpenGL.

You’ll build several graphics programs — progressing from simple to more complex examples — that focus on lighting, textures, blending, augmented reality, optimization for performance and speed, and much more. All you need to get started is a solid understanding of C++ and a great idea for an app.

Learn fundamental graphics concepts, including transformation matrices, quaternions, and more

Get set up for iPhone development with the Xcode environment

Become familiar with versions 1.1 and 2.0 of the OpenGL ES API, and learn to use vertex buffer objects, lighting, texturing, and shaders

Use the iPhone’s touch screen, compass, and accelerometer to build interactivity into graphics applications

Build iPhone graphics applications such as a 3D wireframe viewer, a simple augmented reality application, a spring system simulation, and more
