API Management Workshop (at Startupbootcamp Berlin)3scale
These are the slides from the API Management Workshop, held at the Startupbootcamp Berlin on October 17.
We covered benefits of APIs for an organisation (regardless of size, sector, stage or purpose) and gave examples of successful deployment of APIs.
We then described the typical API lifecycle:
plan/design > build/integrate > operate/manage > share/engage.
We covered many best practices and tools for each stage and gave practical demos about how to secure and manage APIs.
Building the SharePoint hot or not app ... or how not sell social to your bossJoris Poelmans
Enterprise social networks allow you share best practices within organizations, identify co-workers with particular expertise, exchange knowledge and work more efficiently together on projects , but they can also be a lot of fun. Microsoft has made some significant investments in social capabilities with SharePoint Server 2013. In this session we will explore the different social capabilities in SharePoint 2013 and show how to build a SharePoint app which leverages social and search features to build your own "Hot or Not" app. Technologies covered in this session include the new Social and Search REST APIs in SharePoint 2013, the SharePoint app framework, Azure , Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 ... but it is mostly about having some fun to build a social app

This presentation is a part of meetup that happened on June 17 2017 in Chandigarh. We covered the options for developers to get started with MS Cognitive Services API.
Successful digital transformation enables an enterprise to drive revenue, increase customer satisfaction, and win competitive advantage through new digital channels and experiences. To get there, chief digital officers must be able to juggle priorities and manage investments, starting deep within an enterprise’s processes and tools and extending out to the cutting edge of consumer experience. To simplify complexity, accurately measure progress, and drive smart decisions, every CDO needs visibility into six specific types of enterprise KPI.
Join Apigee’s Bryan Kirschner and Kumar Srivastava to learn about these six key KPIs and how to assemble them into a highly effective dashboard.
Join to discuss:
- Why are metrics that span consumer and developer behavior, business results, and technology capabilities all essential to successful digital transformation?
- How can you organize this diverse set of metrics in order to drive sharp insight and timely action?
- How can you apply this knowledge to build an effective management dashboard?

Lean Method for Building Good APIs for Business – APIOps CyclesNordic APIs
APIs are a piece of technology, but they do have a business purpose and a user, or rather a developer experience which makes them either good or horrible to use and develop. Without great business-oriented APIs, there can be no API economy. In general lean architecture methods exist but are not used enough. They are useful for DevOps and Agile development, but APIs need special attention. There is a need for a “double loop” of DevOps with APIs, that’s one thing. The more important thing is to use methods which help you to treat your API as a product while covering all important business model and architecture areas. Discussions and collaboration is the key to any successful architecture. Still, many of us design our APIs and software in endless meetings or alone, using no methods at all or methods and language known only by IT professionals. The world could do with a lot of better API designs which translate into better business. These were all reasons to develop the creative-commons licensed open and lean APIOps Cycles method (www.apiopscycles.com). This talk tells the basics of the method, plus some examples of how companies have used it.

Dependency Down, Flexibility Up – The Benefits of API-First DevelopmentNordic APIs
The tech industry is moving toward cloud and serverless infrastructures. This shift isn’t without its challenges. Complexity is growing in microservices stacks, containerization, and continuous delivery. With a code-first approach, services can be vulnerable to development bottlenecks and program breakage, especially as complexity grows. This is where API-first development comes in.
The main difference between code-first and API-first is that instead of starting with code, API-first programs begin with design, planning, mocks, and tests. Having a planned infrastructure during development and before implementation allows new features to be built as independent services. So, when a particular service is broken or overloaded, remaining services can still function successfully.
In this talk, Ankit Sobti will discuss how an API-first approach creates the backbone to robust, powerful programs that are resistant to breakage. In addition, he will walk through using mocks and tests to optimize feedback in early development, and share concrete examples of API-first development. By the end of this session, you will understand why and how API-first has the potential to create higher functioning and more flexible systems in the future.
Forge - DevCon 2016: Integrate & extend your construction ecosystem with BI...Autodesk
Manu Venugopal, Keith White, Saikat Bhattacharya, Autodesk
The BIM 360 web services simplify collaborative workflows from pre-construction through field management to handover of a construction project. In this session, we will discuss a new area of the BIM 360 API: HQ APIs for unified account administration and data across BIM 360. HQ APIs allow customers to integrate with BIM 360 and extend their construction eco-system to automate workflows, reduce manual data entry and improve data quality.
The HQ API plays a critical role as part of the Forge platform, providing a secure and single point of integration for customer accounts, into their projects, partner companies, user management, and other account level information. We will introduce the basic functionalities of the HQ API and present use cases on how early adopters such as Layton Construction and JE Dunn Construction are leveraging this API to add value to their construction ecosystem. We will also share the latest developments and future direction for the BIM 360 product line and APIs,
Naming stuff is one of the two hard things in Computer Science. And we fail at it every time we create another Manager or Service, or when we follow "framework conventions". Those of us living in OOP world desperately need better abstractions. And Functional Programming is no panacea since we still need DDD practices to guide our design. Regardless of your background, this talk is designed to help you improve your names and naming habits. No need to reinvent the wheel - let's borrow ideas from Eric Evans, Uncle Bob, Kent Beck and other experts.

When gauging the relative merits of the 35,000-plus logos that have been submitted from all over the world to the LogoLounge.com site in the past 18 months, it would have been supremely helpful to have some sort of magical scanner-like device that could objectively compare, classify, and quantify the success of each design. But likely such a device could only spot the obvious visual trends.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks
