The CodeIgniter Handbook - Vol 2 - API Design... Now available!

I'm very happy.

A while ago, I wrote some words. I took the words and I printed them onto some dead trees and made me a book. Enough people thought that it was interesting enough to buy a copy. In order to please those people, I've written some more words. And now you can buy a dead tree with them printed on.

In today’s world the focus in web development has firmly shifted from isolated systems to interconnected networks of applications, all talking to each other in real time. CodeIgniter’s flexibility makes it very easy to create Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and allow your applications to chat to each other.

In this book, you’ll learn the principles behind modern RESTful API design as well as a bunch of helpful implementation details, such as how to version your APIs, how to use HTTP to specify content types and how to extend and debug your APIs with useful homegrown tools. 

It's super cheap and useful, and purchasing a copy will allow me to continue contributing a tonne of free code and advice and stuff to the CodeIgniter and web communities. So, want to learn about how to build awesome APIs with CodeIgniter? Head over to the Efendi site and grab a copy today!

The CodeIgniter Handbook - Volume 1 - Available!

I am utterly thrilled to announce that my new book, The CodeIgniter Handbook Volume 1, is now available for order!

Volume 1, Who Needs Ruby? is a pragmatic, succinct guide to improving your efficiency and the cleanness of your code. Attractive to amateurs and professionals alike, The CodeIgniter Handbook isn't your usual programming book. It's short, useful and easy to read, and covers how to improve the quality of your code and the speed of your development time.

It's available to buy as a print book or an eBook. It's also much cheaper than most programming books, at only £12 (roughly $18) for the print book and £6 ($10) for the eBook.

I've had some great feedback already -- everyone appears to be enjoying it! Thanks for your support.
