Legacy app modernisation to REST APIs
I help companies move applications that keep their state on the server to true RESTful API architectures. I know the frameworks they are moving from.
What I know
MVC applications, and the languages and frameworks they are written in.
- PHP.
- Laravel.
- CodeIgniter.
- Ruby on Rails.
- JSP.
From server state to REST
A server-state application keeps each user's session on the server and sends back whole pages. The interface and the logic are tied together.
A RESTful API holds no session between requests. Each request carries what it needs. Each resource has its own address, and the HTTP methods and status codes mean what they say.
Once the API exists, a website, a mobile app and other systems can all use the same one.
What I build
REST and JSON APIs on Node, with Postgres or SQLite underneath.
Questions people ask
What makes an API truly RESTful?
No session held on the server. Resources at stable addresses. HTTP methods and status codes used as they are defined. Many APIs that are called REST are remote procedure calls sent over HTTP.

Moving off WordPress
Moving your website off WordPress, with your content and web addresses kept. A smaller site your team can still edit, built and looked after by me.
