Todd Fabacher is CEO at Digital Pomegranate who have built many successful apps with LiveCode.

The use of REST APIs have completely changed software engineering. This new approach to developing web and mobile applications has become ubiquitous and almost all successful projects or applications are based on REST. Google, AirBnB, Uber, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook… hundreds of thousands of companies control their business using REST APIs. Without them, connectivity and dynamic data would be practically impossible and unprofitable. This is because REST is the most logical, efficient and widespread standard in the creation of APIs for Internet services.

In this talk, we will show how to LiveCode server script to create a REST API on a LiveCode Server for use by your LiveCode App or any other application. Learn how to use the simplicity of REST parameters calls or JSON data using your existing LiveCode knowledge. We will also give real world examples of LiveCode Apps around the world such as SONY, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Caterpillar, TOEFL and many more. If you don’t have a LiveCode Server account…now it the perfect time to get setup and start using REST APIs.
