REST Web Services in the Cloud: Part 2, by Mark Prichard, CloudBees:

In the first post of this two part series, I looked at how to implement a cloud-based REST web service using JSON, Jersey/JDBC and the CloudBees Java PaaS platform.

Writing a RESTful Web Service with Slim

Writing a RESTful Web Service with Slim:

Through a series of articles here at PHPMaster you’ve learned about what is REST and how it works. In this article, I’d like to show you how to create a RESTful web service using Slim, a PHP micro-framework inspired by Sinatra, a Ruby framework. It’s well-suited for creating simple RESTful web services and comes with some minimal components like Router, Request, Response, and View. It’s very simple, and is easy to understand and use.
