REST What ?
● Representational State Transfer
● A web page is a human readable
representation
● A webservice is a machine readable
representation
● REST piggybacks on HTTP
● Hidden workhorse to integrate with external
applications

Human Readable – Web Page Machine Readable – Web Service

REST APIs
What is a REST API?
● Machine readable data
● A way to interact with data over HTTP
POST = Create
GET = Read
PUT = Update
DELETE = Delete

Why do I need REST APIs ?

My JAVA app My Joomla! website
INSERT INTO jos_users (name, username,
email, password, block)
VALUES ('James Bond', 'agent@007.com',
'agent@007.com', MD5(007), 0)

INSERT INTO jos_user_usergroup_map
VALUES(62, 8)

What do I do then ?

index.php?option=com_api&app=users&resource=createuser&format=raw

[POST]
name = Ashwin Date
username = coolbung@gmail.com
email = coolbung@gmail.com
password = supersecret

The Architecture of an API PlatformJohannes Ridderstedt

What is an APIElliott Richmond

An API is a set of routines, protocols, and tools that allow software applications to communicate with each other. It defines the functionality that is independent of implementation. An API expresses the operations, inputs, outputs, and types of a software component. It allows creation of applications that can access features or data from an operating system, application, or other service. An API acts as an intermediary that allows two applications to communicate, delivering requests from one app to a provider and returning the response.

Why your APIs should fly first classLibbySchulze

This document discusses the benefits of building APIs first before developing user interfaces. It argues that taking an "API-first" approach allows software to more easily become a platform that others can integrate with. Some key points made include: - Building APIs first is more work upfront but pays off by enabling integrations and new interfaces like mobile apps. - The process needs to break features into API endpoints before considering the user interface. - APIs should support multiple "actors" like users, integrations and bots rather than tying all data to individual user accounts. - Thinking about how features may evolve and allowing for future possibilities, like multiple related objects rather than a single one, helps future-proof APIs.

From PHP to React - case studySparkbit

The document discusses introducing React into an existing PHP e-commerce application with millions of annual visitors. The existing application is large and difficult to maintain. The goals are to separate the frontend and backend for easier testing and maintenance, and allow refactoring the backend into smaller services. The approach is to introduce React iteratively by creating multiple React apps for different parts of the site, separating data loading from PHP to React, and gradually removing old PHP code. Server-side rendering is recommended over a single-page application to avoid possible SEO issues and ensure fast initial loading.

Building modern frontends for joomlaAshwin Date

King of Fruits - Theme based GamificationAshwin Date

At Tekdi - we feel that having healthy competition brings out the best in people. In May 2019 we started off with a fruit themed competition. We had 6 teams and each team raced towards getting the most fruits for their team. Mangoes, Watermelons, jackfruit, pineapples and jamuns were up for the keep upon doing various activities. Once in a while 2 day "power plays" were implemented where the number of fruits earned for some or all of the activities doubled. It's June at the time of uploading, will update the results here as we enter July :)

Angular frontends with joomla backendAshwin Date

This document summarizes a presentation about building Angular frontends with a Joomla backend. It introduces Techjoomla and Tekdi Technologies, which have over 50 developers building Joomla extensions and custom software. They have created several key products for Joomla, including e-learning, event booking, and donation systems. The presentation explains why developers want to use modern frontend frameworks like Angular with Joomla, and how their solution uses Joomla's API and plugins to integrate Angular apps with Joomla user management, content like articles and categories, and third party extensions. It demonstrates this integration by showing demos of user and article management apps built with Angular and Joomla.

Revolutionizing kids education using joomlaAshwin Date

Slide deck for the presentation at the Joomla and Beyond Conference, 2017. EkStep is a open learning platform that allows teachers, subject experts and academia collaborate with illustrators and artists to create rich content for improving kids' education. The platform allows creating quality content and aids delivery via a mobile app. A data analytics platform collects data for content creation and consumption and feeds it back to the stakeholders and content creators to improve the content and platform quality. The frontend of the platform is built on Joomla, and talks to a variety of backend services for content creation, consumption and analytics. The portal also allows partner organisations to come onboard and track creation and consumption statistics for their organisation. The partners may request detailed data via the data exhaust to analyse and derive more insights. Another highlight of the portal is the Wordnet - which is a thesaurus of Indian language words with detailed meanings, synonyms, antonyms, example usage, pronunciations, images and also links to same words in other languages. The wordnet can also be used in the learning content to create word games or flashcards to help children learn better. A community / social section powered by Easysocial allows creation of special interest groups to foster collaboration for learning content creation.

10 things you are doing wrong in JoomlaAshwin Date

1. File paths in Joomla templates and components should use forward slashes instead of DS to separate directories for readability and compatibility across operating systems. 2. PHP files should not include a closing PHP tag at the end to avoid corrupting JSON or HTTP headers. 3. Components and templates should be tested with debug and SEF URLs turned on to avoid issues when these settings are enabled.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock

Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics 10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’ Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them. But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc

Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency. This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data. Attendees will learn: - Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection - How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations - Where business preparedness needs improvement - What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix

Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025 https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/ Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think? Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater. At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts. At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

7. REST APIs What is a REST API? ● Machine readable data ● A way to interact with data over HTTP POST = Create GET = Read PUT = Update DELETE = Delete

8. Why do I need REST APIs ? My JAVA app My Joomla! website INSERT INTO jos_users (name, username, email, password, block) VALUES ('James Bond', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', MD5(007), 0) INSERT INTO jos_user_usergroup_map VALUES(62, 8)

9. What do I do then ? index.php?option=com_api&app=users&resource=createuser&format=raw [POST] name = Ashwin Date username = [email protected] email = [email protected] password = supersecret key = 4358a6fc7470713c79f31b163558a2639b3036ed
