APIs Are Everywhere
We consume APIs every day as SDKs and libraries. The same design principles apply to the web APIs we build.
About this talk
When it comes to web APIs, we tend to forget that we consume various APIs (other people’s code) every day in the form of SDKs, libraries, development tools, etc. The same design principles that make the high-quality non-web APIs we consume easy to work with can be applied to the web APIs we build.
In this session we’ll explore what attributes are common to the tools, SDKs, libraries – the other APIs – we use on a daily basis, and how we can apply them to the web APIs we’re building.
