I’m looking to implement the Zoom Web SDK into my React apps and wondering what’s the correct way to generate a signature.
From some examples, I see that it should be a new endpoint to generate one.
However when looking at this example, it seems like ZoomMtg exposes a generateSignature method. It does say to use this in development only, but I’m just wondering what would be the correct way to implement this. Should it be a separate service? Or could I rely on this to generate a signature on a production app?

I am programming a Symfony2 App. The structure of my Symfony2 app like:
Login (username / password)
Get Survey for this Login / for this User
User input / click answers. After each click a Ajax request save the answer
User submit survey after answering every question
I have no experience with mobile apps like IOS, Android or Windows. The mobile will created by an other team. The question ist quite common, but which steps i must realize? Are there any literature that you can recommend me?
What was the right way to create an API?
How far Symfony2 supports to create an API for this use cases?
Unfortunately I have no experience on REST, but i suspect this is necessary, right?
I look forward to each answer.
Let me state the obvious first, if you start building a project with technologies you don't know enough about, it WILL be a nightmare. So by all means take your time to learn what you need.
REST is the reccomended standard to build an API since it's native http native and it's quite simple and flexible at the same time. There are tons of simple tutorials on REST, starting from Wikipedia, so I won't link them here.
But I'll tell you a secret, a web service can simply be any web page that reply to your requests with structured data. I.e. even a non-REST series of "webpages" the reply with JSON data can be defined a web service.
By now you see that you can easily do that with Symfony. If you already know how to do stuff and show pages with Symfony, only add JSONResponse to the mix , and also the _format routing parameter, and you should be on a good way.
You just create a path (i.e. an action) for whatever the mobile application needs to do. Of course later on you will learn the beauty of REST and refactor your API accordingly, but first thing you build a working system.
Reading this blog post is a good start. Now if your application will only serve API responses there is the very good Symfony REST Edition which already includes all bundles and tools needed to create an API centric application with Symfony2.
You also have the Lionframe framework but I didn't tested it yet.
I am in the process of creating an app (cross-platform with Ionic framework) and during my research about app with this framework I found the one created for HabitRPG and it is using an API to retrieve data, it totally suits my app as well, but I don't know where to start to create an API nor what to use.
I allready did some quick test with Spring, NodeJS and Symfony (with FOS) but I'm looking for something really easy to use and to setup but still to have a lot of flexibility (like manage security, users, and data visibility).
Is there a specific technology easy enough to start with ?
If you want to create a Web API and host it, you can perhaps have the look at APISpark (http://restlet.com/products/apispark/). It's an online plateform that allows to design your APIs following REST principles and then host them. The data are also managed by the platform.
Hope it helps.

I'm kinda stuck at testing Restful model without server-side.
In Google official tutorial step 11
They show real nicely how to get all the phone lists from a local json files using get method.
It is really nice and very simple, but they are lacking something very basic in this tutorial deleting/adding with delete/post methods.
I'm stuck right now because I cannot find a way to add/delete objects using Restful model without implementing server-side DB, of course not permanently just throughout the application life.
Can someone give an example that's built on AngularJS official tutorial, how to implement a simple add of a phone object?
You want to use Angular's $resource service.
Documentation here
That contains a working example similar to what I think you're asking.
I have a web app, that also has an iPhone and Android app using the same API. It hasn't yet been made publicly available, so I wanted to look to convert from SOAP to REST.
I was only able to find a few tutorials that go into thorough explanations of how to code a REST web service, and of those I only found the MSDN one useful. The problem is I got really confused when they started using URI data types inside the object.
My question is, if you are converting SOAP to REST, do you have to recreate all the objects to add the URI? Am I not able to just have a REST entry point, then call one of the classes that retrieve the data?
Once the REST service is made it will only be used by my mobile apps, but not the website (since that can directly access the classes), which makes me not want to change the objects to add a URI. Is that a correct assumption to make, or should the web services also be called by the website?
Sorry if these are newbie questions, but I am struggling to get my head around REST, and I haven't had much experience creating the architecture of potentially high user base apps.
If anyone is able to point me to an actual code set, that would be helpful.
Edit: I am using VS2010, coding in C# and .Net 4.
Thanks a lot,

Im doing a very similar thing right now :). Rest via wcf isnt too hard, you do have to sometimes add your endpoints in the web config and give it the [webget]/[webinvoce] attributes in the refrence.cs of the web refrence when consuming though c# which is annoying.
Here is a code set i used when getting started. There are a few more on code project too.
I made an app in VB that I want to turn into a web service. I've been told I can create a web service from VB.NET but how? Can I convert my app into a ASP.NET app or do I have to re-write it? Can I turn my app into an Active X control and create a active x web service?
It's probably good to first try to understand exactly what you want and why you need it. A web service has little to do with ActiveX or ASP.NET technologies. It is a way to call methods of your libraries using SOAP or REST (or similar) requests. Once you know what for you need it, you can decide how to set it up.
You can use all the code you currently have but only if it was designed to be used with a library in mind. That means: no interactive forms, messageboxes etc. There are other restrictions, but let's not get ahead of ourselves too much.
To get from A to B, change your code such that it compiles as a DLL lib that you can use and call from other applications. From there to a web service is then only a small step away.
