This document discusses 5 keys to API design: 1) The API contract is critical as it tells developers what to expect and deliver, enables parallel development, and ensures requirements are met. 2) Design to delight users by gathering feedback and iterating quickly. 3) Think of APIs as APX (API Experience) and craft them for user enjoyment. 4) Leverage patterns for resource types, collections, traits and more. 5) Engage developers through social tools, interactive consoles and prototyping tools to get their feedback. The document also promotes the RAML specification for modeling RESTful APIs in a clean, structured way.
As a mobile developer sometimes is really hard to influence backend teams to create great REST Api's that can power up cool mobile and web apps. So instead of dropping in cool SDK's in your project and forget anything about what the network layer does, try to understand what is happening in the background, learn more about the underlying magic and try to design one.

Simon Phipps, President, Open Source Initiative
Open source is not about free stuff. It's a way of granting permission in advance so that innovation can happen without obstruction and so loose-knit communities can collaborate freely. As such, it's more important than ever in an age of APIs, devices and distributed web infrastructure.
This session will:
Explain the dynamics of open source licensing
Consider the relative merits of licensing "strengths" for IoT
Discuss the challenges of software patents to APIs and open collaboration.
Google v Oracle: The Future of Software and Fair UseAurora Consulting
Breaks down Google v. Oracle and what it means for the future of software development and fair use. This legal contest has been heralded as the “World Series of IP cases” and the “copyright case of the decade”.
It’s a landmark case, 11 years in the making, between two industry heavyweights – Google, the undisputed king of search and mobile operating system market share, accused of both patent and copyright infringement against Oracle, the owner of the ubiquitous Java API.
At stake is a winner take or keep-all purse of $9 billion in damages and a Supreme Court ruling that will dictate the future of software interface copyright law. Ashley Sloat, President & Director of Patent Strategy here at Aurora, serves as your guide, cutting through 11 years of case law, 3 trials, 2 appeals, and endless technology metaphors, all in an illuminating IP conversation that runs the gamut from patent infringement to copyright violation and ultimately settles on a matter of fair use doctrine.

Just a few years back, lack of a standard way to document, govern or describe a contract for the APIs acted as a deterrent to API adoption within the enterprise. WSDL 2.0 and WADL provided early support, but they couldn’t truly capture the essence of RESTful APIs. Recently we have seen the emergence of several description languages. New ways to describe and document APIs have emerged such as Swagger, RAML, API Blueprint and others, each taking a slightly different approach.
Life After Microservices – Shifting the BoundariesNordic APIs
So, here we are: Microservices, and everything they bring with them, like Spring Cloud, Kubernetes, Docker, ELK, you name it. We learnt and worked hard to master all of it. And now, finally, we feel prepared for the next years to come.
Hmm, but what about Digitization? So what! Dissolving market boundaries? You couldn’t care less! Changing user expectations? Not your turf! And yet those and other non-IT topics may question your laboriously acquired skills very soon.
In this session we will first examine, how those non-IT topics create new forces on software engineering. Based on that we will try to understand the drivers of future IT solutions and how that is going to affect your work – including unraveling the mysteries behind hypes like cloud-native, serverless, APIs, platforms and more.
Finally, we will derive what you as a software engineer can do to sustain or even increase your market value in a shifting market, based on a well-balanced combination of new and timeless skills.
After the session, besides getting an idea how looking outside-the-box can help you making better decisions inside-the-box you will have a much better idea how to stay ahead of the curve.
Operational API design anti-patterns (Jason Harmon)Nordic APIs
This is a session given by Jason Harmon at Nordic APIs 2016 Platform Summit on October 26th, in Stockholm Sweden.
Description:
Normally, we find valuable data our clients need, and create APIs. We rationalize our domains into understandable resources, with clear boundaries of ownership (especially in microservice environments). However, if our design doesn’t include considerations for how clients will use the APIs, we can get into a lot of trouble when it goes live. We’ll look at some API design patterns that can cause operational headaches, and how to watch out for them. Furthermore, we’ll cover some tricks to get out of trouble if we already have it implemented.
API Description Languages: Which is the Right One for Me?Akana
SOA Software Director of API Strategy, Laura Heritage, discusses new ways to describe and document APIs have emerged such as Swagger, RAML, API Blueprint and others, each taking a slightly different approach. Please join us in this webinar to hear how these description languages differ and how to choose right one for your API.
When you treat docs like code, you multiply everyone’s efforts and streamline processes through collaboration, automation, and innovation. The benefits are real, but these efforts are complex. The ways you can leverage developer process and tools vary widely. Let’s unpack the absolute best situation for using a docs as code model.
Then, we can walk through multiple considerations that may point you in one direction or another. We can talk about version control, publishing, REST API considerations, source formats, automation, quality controls and testing, and lessons learned. Let’s study best practices that are outcome-dependent and situational, creating strategic efforts.

Privacy Engineering : The State of The Art
Ian Oliver, Senior Security Researcher at Nokia Bell Labs
Zohar Babin, Senior Director, Ecosystem and Community, Kaltura
While a great many API enthusiasts will tell you that achieving API utopia means re-architecting all of your applications (Web, mobile, or otherwise) on top of the same APIs that you make available to external developers, very few organizations have actually succeeded at doing what's necessary; turning their infrastructures inside out. Many organizations can't envision having the time, patience, or resources to fly a plane while the wings are being ripped-off and reinstalled. But open source video platform provider Kaltura pulled it off. As a result, Kaltura's core infrastructure -- back end servers, core applications, etc. --- rely on the same APIs that front-facing partners' applications rely on. The result was a highly flexible future-proof platform that enables customers, partners, developers and startups to rapidly extend the platform with innovative implementations that continuously push the limits of what Kaltura can do. In this presentation, Kaltura willl cover the principles of what makes a great, dogfoodable API, how to make it resilient, future-proof and yet backward compatible, and most importantly how to enable and support customers and partners looking to extend an API platform.
Pain Points In API Development? They’re EverywhereNordic APIs
There’s an inherent tension for organizations doing API development: how to keep both your API developers as well as your infrastructure happy, at the same time. Decoupling front-end and back-end development allows parallel development, and helps keep your front-end, middle-end, and back-end efforts working asynchronously. This speeds progress, but requires far more – and far better – collaboration to be successful. Even an independent developer working with APIs requires good collaboration tools.
In this talk, Abhinav Asthana will provide tips on how to improve in API development using collaboration tools like executable API descriptions, API mock servers, and documentation. He will include specific examples of how companies (such as VMware, Coursera, and AMC Theatres) have used collaboration to attain more agile development, to onboard developers, and to ensure input from all participants/stakeholders.
Pie for Sale: Timeless Lessons in API Advocacy (Adam DuVander)Nordic APIs
This is a session given by Adam Duvander at Nordic APIs 2016 Platform Summit on October 26th, in Stockholm Sweden.
Description:
API that nobody uses is almost as sad as a pie that nobody eats. Yet, both of these occur every day. Regardless of whether your API is for partners, internal, or external usage, it needs an advocate to help it be adopted. There are good reasons why an API gets no usage, and there’s a lot we can learn from how pies are made, sold, and consumed.
Don’t expect short-term tactics, but the timeless fundamentals from Adam DuVander’s lessons learned in developer relations, within a large enterprise, and as one of the earliest journalists covering APIs. You’ll learn the importance of knowing your competition (yup, even for internal APIs), sharing your vision, being ever-present, and helping developers get started fast. And don’t forget the delicious, flaky crust.
DuVander has seen the same approach work at database-as-a-service Orchestrate.io, internally at its parent company CTL.io, at his neighborhood bakery, and in discussions with hundreds of API providers over the last eight years.
Eight Hours to API Literacy: A Fast, Fun On-ramp for WritersPronovix
Writers are experts at dealing with ambiguity. We do highly technical work, frequently without formal CS education. We find ways to make content out of wireframes, code strings, Jira tickets, and spit. We especially fall back on these skills when documenting APIs, where the information is often scarce and our understanding of the APIs and how they’re used can feel abstracted from the product. But APIs aren’t just for reference anymore. With an update to our New Relic developer site in the works, we needed to up our game. In February, we hired Chris Cowell to teach members of the Tech Docs and UX teams REST API basics. The class was a huge success because it covered the topics we needed to learn, but also because Chris created a lively, interactive, accessible experience. Even those of us who have been documenting APIs for years came away with deeper understanding and greater confidence.
In this talk, Chris Cowell and Michelle Fredette discuss high- and low-level knowledge gaps the training addressed, and how the class has enriched our docs and UX work, as well as our relationships with SMEs. We’ll share some basic tips and finally, we’ll talk about how classes like this one—which a participant called, “the single most effective technical training I’ve ever received”—are fundamental to the expanding complexity of our careers.
Some of the discipline and principles the "Paypal as a Service" is using to create a REST API driven platform across all of Paypal engineering.

As presented at @APIWorld 2014 in San Francisco 9/17
One of the greatest challenges to developing an API is ensuring that your API lasts. After all, you don’t want to have to release and manage multiple versions of your API just because you weren’t expecting users to use it a certain way, or because you didn’t anticipate far enough down the roadmap. In this session, we’ll talk about the challenge of API Longevity, as well as ways to increase your API lifecycle including having a proper mindset, careful design, agile user experience and prototyping, best design practices including hypermedia, and the challenge of maintaining persistence.

Here are 18 of our innovative Open Source tools.
Building Open Source Communities for AWS Serverless Developer ToolsAmazon Web Services
AWS supports open source. AWS developers have contributed to key projects like Apache MXNet, Gluon API, EKS, and Serverless developer tools. Serverless services like AWS Lambda allow developers to build and run applications without thinking about servers. In 2016, we released an open specification called Serverless Application Model (SAM), a simple configuration file to define Lambda functions and other serverless resources. Since then we have open sourced the underlying implementation of SAM and several other tools to simplify the process of building serverless applications, including SAM Local, a popular CLI tool to run SAM-based applications on a local computer before deploying to the cloud.
In this talk, we touch upon the story of open sourcing the SAM toolset. The talk will deep dive into how an open specification has kindled and nurtured an ecosystem of open source projects comprising of serverless examples, reference architectures, libraries, CLIs, and plugins. We will share some success stories of serverless projects like Chalice that went open and matured to become production-grade. We will also discuss the journey of SAM Local CLI from a weekend project to being open source with 6,000 downloads per month, 2,000+ Github Stars, 30+ contributors, and becoming an integral part of the toolchain. The developer community has helped SAM Local CLI work seamlessly on Windows, support APIs defined in Swagger files, improve unit test coverage, and support a lot of important features. The talk will also cover lessons learned and what worked for us in growing the serverless developer community.

Developer Experience (DX) for UX ProfessionalsIan Jennings
Ian Jennings presents at the Austin UXPA meetup on November 12, 2019 at Visa.
Developer Experience (DX) is the equivalent to User Experience (UX) when the user of the software or system is a developer. Sure, the science is the same, but this talk will teach you why developer experience is gaining traction as a new field. Between APIs, SDKs, code, documentation, demos, CLIs, tutorials, and developer portals, DX is a whole new beast. Learn about the emergence of Developer Experience, the similarities and differences between UX an DX, and the tools you need to apply your UX experience toward the field of DX.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
