Building API's often involves writing tests which are directly bound to the codebase of the API. Besides writing tests you also want to provide a thorough and up-to-date documentation of your API for your users or developers. Keeping your API in sync with your documentation can be a tedious thing. Apiary & Dredd can help you solve these problems. In this live-coding talk you will learn how to leverage Dredd to test your API against a Blueprint specification instead of using tests. After that we're going to see how we can use Apiary to provide public and constantly up-to-date documentation for your users and developers. We'll take a closer look at Dredd hooks and Blueprint to see how we can use it to its max. potential. Eventually we'll integrate all of this in a continuous integration workflow so we can automate the process altogether. To wrap it up we'll check into some extra features Apiary offers to build your API.

Really good introduction in Apiary & Dredd!
I'm definitely going to check it out.
Don't focus too much on the PHPunit part and maybe skip the live coding of it that will speed things up a bit and show some more advanced things that you can do with Dredd & Apiary.
