API tools, services, and techniques abound, but in this 99% Yak-Shaving™ Free session, we’ll focus on the ones that require little (or no) setup, and that you can be using before I stop talking.

Whether you’re building or consuming APIs, there will be something for you. If you’re new to APIs, you’ll leave with a bunch of things you can use right now. If you’ve been doing this for a while, you’ll probably see a new way to simplify something that’s bugged you in the past.

Great tips for dealing with API's. Learned lots of things that I can use to help me while maintaining my API.

Outstanding talk with some great tools and high level understanding to up your API game. Yak or no Yak.

Great info. Stoplight's Discovery and the PHPStorm HTTP requests from a scratch file are things I'll definitely be using.

Seeing tools in use was exactly what I needed. There are a number of things I've been doing the hard way that I can now simplify and streamline. In particular, the recently-upgraded PhpStorm client, and capturing responses to create Swagger definitions. I sure wish I'd come to Tim's Thursday tutorial.
