Building cloud and API driven mobile apps introduces numerous complexities around syncing, caching, and securing data. In this presentation Alex Gaber explored numerous tools and frameworks including best practices around building HTML5 cross-platform hybrid native applications.
Both SOA and API management technology have important things to say about the future capabilities of your IT infrastructure. API technology brings a strong focus to the consumption of your backend IT resources within a well-managed community of API developers and mobile app developers.
Are APIs really that different from SOA? Join Alistair Farquharson, CTO, SOA Software and Sachin Agarwal, VP Product Marketing, SOA Software to learn more about how to build out a combined API and SOA strategy for your business, and understand the real differences between APIs and SOA, and lay down a common long-term unified infrastructure for all your services – past, present and future.
The Business Value for Internal APIs in the EnterpriseAkana
- The value of internal API programs
- How APIs and SOA fit together
- Deployment patterns for Internal APIs
- Architecture concerns about API Gateways and ESBs
The enterprise has learned from the consumer API movement and recognized the value of creating developer communities to drive the adoption and productive use of APIs. Building an API community internally, however, requires a different approach from what has worked in the consumer space. Business objectives for APIs and measurements of success tend to be different for internal APIs. Security and access controls are not the same, of course, and back-end systems tend to be quite a lot more complex in the enterprise than they are in public-facing API situations. This webinar explores the challenges and best practices inherent in building an internal API community that serves an enterprise’s business and technological goals.
As enterprises embrace APIs, some very specific Enterprise API Adoption patterns and best practices have started emerging. In this session, Laura Heritage, Principal Solutions Architect at SOA Software, will talk about the most common enterprise API patterns and will discuss how enterprises can successfully launch an API program.

[WSO2 Summit Brazil 2018] The API-driven WorldWSO2
Paul discusses how APIs are touching every facet of our society and the underlying trends that are going to generate nearly 1 billion APIs in the coming years.
This presentation explains how to expose APIs in a controlled, secure manner. To control and secure APIs in this way requires an API management system able to address versioning and meter consumption without burdening either third-party developers or application consumers.
Opening SaaS applications and cloud services to outside developers is becoming critical to achieve cloud-enterprise integrations, information sharing across affiliate Web sites and enabling mobile / tablet access to data. Controlling how API's get securely exposed to different consumers requires a simple, scalable way to manage API security, address versioning and meter consumption without burdening either application developers or application consumers.

API Design Methodology - Mike Amundsen, Director of API Architecture, API Aca...CA API Management
At some point, we all need to design and implement APIs for the Web. What makes Web APIs different than typical component APIs? How can you leverage the power of the Internet when creating your Web API? What characteristics to many "great" Web APIs share? Is there a consistent process you can use to make sure you design a Web API that best fits your needs both now and in the future?
In this session Mike Amundsen describes a clear methodology for designing Web APIs (based on the book "RESTful Web APIs" by Richardson and Amundsen) that allows you to map key aspects of your business into a usable, scalable, and flexible interface that will reach your goals while creating a compelling API for both server and client developers. Whether you are looking to implement a private, partner, or public API, these principles will help you focus on the right metrics and design goals to create a successful API.
Liberating the API Economy with Scale-Free Networks - Mike Amundsen, Director...CA API Management
Liberating the API Economy with Scale-Free Networks
The Web exhibits a feature found in many complex systems known as "Scale-Free" or "Power-Law" networks, sometimes called the "long tail" Most people think of the "long tail" as an economic and/or social property. However, it also represents physical and informational properties fundamental to the way the Web works. But the steady increase in major service outages indicate that many current Web APIs, services, and even client applications ignore this basic "law of the Web."
This talk explores the "Scale-Free" rule of complex systems and offers clear and simple advice to those planning to build and/or consume APIs for the Web. Such as what to avoid, what to plan for, what to build, and how to identify & steer clear of clients and services that fail to abide by the rules and, in the process, are making it harder for all of us to liberate the API Economy.

Revisiting Geddes' Outlook Tower - Mike Amundsen, Director of API Architectur...CA API Management
The Information Age, 100 years on
The rise of the computer and the digital revolution is responsible for an explosion of devices, data, and connectedness. These are all enabling what is called the dawning of the Information Age. And software designers, developers, and architects all share an important responsibility for shaping and guiding the world’s progress through this axial age into the future.
However, more than 100 years ago, the work of organizing the world’s information into a single all-encompassing taxonomy had already begun. Partially influenced by the positivist doctrine of Auguste Comte, leading thinkers of the early 20th century such as the librarian Paul Otlet in Belgium, museum curator Patrick Geddes in Scotland, and educator Melvil Dewey in the US were each working to design universal classification systems that would encompass and coordinate the explosion of information appearing in libraries, museums, newspapers, magazines, and eventually even radio, movies, and television.
What did we learn in the last century? What have we forgotten? How does their work affect our current trajectory in transforming the work of software and systems design and development? What can we take from Dewey, Otlet, and Geddes with us in to the next 100 years of the Information Age.
Managing Identity by Giving Up Control - Scott Morrison, SVP & Distinguished ...CA API Management
Identity on the Internet is changing. Social networking has kicked off a massive change in how we integrate identity across applications. This is much more than a simple redesign of security tokens and protocols; instead it is a radical redistribution of power and control over entitlements, shifting it away from the centralized control of a cabal of directory engineers and out to the users themselves.
There are compelling reasons for this shift: it enables scaling of identity administration, and it promotes rapid and agile integration of applications. These are goals shared by the enterprise, but this change has significant implications on infrastructure, people and process. Join us to learn how you can bring modern identity management into the enterprise.
Moving beyond conventional single sign-on to seamless cross-device access with APIs
People are carrying more devices every day – with the average being 2.9 per person. Meanwhile, multitasking has gone into overdrive, as users quickly move from laptop to phone to tablet, expecting a seamless experience when accessing their favorite apps. And this expectation is not just limited to leisure and personal use – it extends to business applications.
Security has broken this seamless workflow and inhibited the mobile “stickiness” businesses are striving to achieve. This webinar with Scott Morrison and Leif Bildoy of CA Technologies will demonstrate how the right combination of identity functionality and secure APIs can help your organization to overcome these challenges and enable the multi-device universe.
You Will Learn
• What challenges must be overcome when supporting multiple mobile app types
• How SSO is evolving past mobile app access to device access
• Why the right implementation of identity and APIs will create consumer stickiness
• How the Internet of Things (IoT) is creating new business opportunities

Drones, Phones & Pwns the Promise & Dangers of IoT APIs: Use APIs to Securely...CA API Management
The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to improve our productivity and day-to-day lives by connecting a vast range of devices – from cell phones, to cars, to domestic appliances and even to drones. APIs represent the key technology that will make it possible to integrate and leverage information from all these “things”.
There are obvious security and privacy concerns associated with using APIs to expose data and functionality from one device to many others. So, how can we make sure hackers cannot exploit the unprecedented connectivity created by IoT? This webinar will explore key IoT use cases and explain how to address the API security requirements for these use cases.

Using APIs to Create an Omni-Channel Retail ExperienceCA API Management
Today, tech-savvy consumers are always connected, using their mobile devices to compare prices, read user-generated reviews and pay for products - and many leading e-tailers already connect their customers to this information. The any time, any place connectivity enabled by mobile devices empowers all retailers to offer the kinds of enhanced shopping experiences modern consumers are becoming accustomed to.
To truly satisfy the needs of these well-informed, mobile consumers, retail organizations will need ways to create unified shopping experiences across all channels – from brick-and-mortar stores to the Web to mobile. Increasingly, offering a compelling mobile experience will become the cornerstone upon which these omni-channel shopping experiences are built.
In this webinar, you will learn how APIs can:
• Help deliver a consistent retail experience across multiple channels
• Connect retailers with social data
• Extend legacy systems to mobile apps
• Enable organizations to make real-time use of contextual data and buying patterns
Panel Session: Security & Privacy for Connected Cars w/ Scott Morrison, SVP ...CA API Management
Cars are already full of sensors and producing gigabytes of data, but they are not connected yet. Connecting them can represent a tremendous opportunity for several industries (insurance companies, repairs, traffic optimization...) but it certainly comes with a lot of challenges. Security and Privacy are the biggest challenges this market have to overcome, especially because it has been completely out of scope for this industry so far.
