title: How to create my own Web API / Web Service
body: <p>I have been developing iOS apps for a while but they all deal with information that is on the device.</p>
  
  <p>I want to expand my knowledge and the appeal of my apps.</p>
  
  <p>What I need is a good tutorial on how to create my own online SQL database and an API to acces all the information on it.</p>
  
  <p>I have used several APIs (Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc.) so on the iOS side I'm ready.</p>
  
  <p>I would love to implement it using Google App Engine but If you know of beter ways to implement this I am more than glad to hear them; I've heard that Java, .net and Ruby are the best options.</p>
  
  <p>I have found a lot of tutorials online but I know Stack Overflow users have knowledge of great resources that can help me, and other developers, to get up and running faster, easier and learning more.</p>
  
  <p>I think the answers to this question can be a great resource to all developers interested on Wb APIs.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much for your help.</p>
