Your API Sucks
|
Marsh Gardiner of Apigee recently gave a talk at Cloudstock 2010 in San Francisco entitled, “Your API Sucks: Why developers hang up and how to stop that”. While this talk is focused on the currently hot topic of Web-based APIs, Gardiner talks about a lot of general API design techniques. In particular, he urges API developers to focus on user experience and to remember that your API is a product and your developers are your customers. He states this involves putting yourself in your users shoes and giving them the information they need to succeed. Check out the 30-min audio recording of the talk and slideset at:ABOUT THIS SITE
