Day Camp 4 Developers
7 Nov 2014 at Online

Another great talk by John! Loved the examples that he provided on how to make your API easier for developers to use.

Great talk! Likewise I loved the comparison to the Industrial Revolution and also seeing how APIs are impacting enterprises/ governments.

Mike: Thanks for making this DC4D possible and for the insight into RAML, have it at the top of my "Sunday Tinkering" list

Thanks for putting this together, great info, well presented

I was disconnected in the middle of the presentation but the presentation had an abundance of great information and was presented very well!

Great job, especially like the historical comparison to the Industrial Revolution

Thank you all for the great feedback, really appreciate it!

@Riley, I have to apologize for the ambiguity during the talk. I am a HUGE fan of REST, and would highly recommend that if you are building an API that you follow its constraints. However, I think it's important when choosing any type of API to understand what that means, what the constraints are, and what the benefits/ cons of the API might be. I think this becomes crucial when designing your API and facing questions regarding constraints and whether or not to adhere to them (also why it's so important to understand your users needs and what they expect).

But thank you all again for attending, and for the great feedback! And sorry about the talking speed! Will continue to work on that :)

Thanks for sharing about RAML. I'd seen a presentation on it before, but we've been using Swagger.

I appreciated your insights on versioning as well.
