Building a Secure API - Part 2

Take the first steps into using Slim to create a secure API

Building a secure API doesn't have to be difficult if you build it that way from the start. This course will guide you through the creation of a simple REST API that could be used for a new application or to add on to an existing one. Secure thinking is an important part of any development.

In the first course in the series I introduced some of the basics about the API we'll be building. In this second course we'll start in on the code, taking the first steps with the Slim Framework and setting up our environment.

Topics covered include:

  • Installing Slim via Composer
  • Creating custom error handlers
  • Throwing and handling exceptions as errors
  • Returning JSON output

If you haven't taken our free course that's the first part of this series, I highly suggest it before taking this course.
