Building your next mobile app, SaaS product, or web app using an API first philosophy? Already maintain an API and want to step back and think about API design? In this tutorial we’ll build and iterate over a simple API, exploring concepts that give your API a solid foundation: authentication, REST-based design and workflows, practical hypermedia, versioning, API request/response formats. Because your API may start out serving the needs of internal mobile clients, or single page web apps, but one day (sooner than you think) you’ll be turning it into a public API.

Lots of information, very little code, and with good humor throughout. I learned quite a bit and have so much more to learn. Well done!

Great session! I learned a lot about designing APIs. Definitely recommended regardless of your level on the subject.

Fantastic techniques for designing an API. I learned lots of things that I should be doing to change the API that I maintain.
