The document discusses lessons learned about driving adoption of APIs in the non-profit sector. It outlines that 3 years ago the sector showed little interest in APIs but that adoption has grown. It then provides 5 lessons: 1) launch your own APIs to validate your methods and learn; 2) pick a major launch partner to validate the APIs; 3) be prepared for a long process of education and iteration; 4) make the APIs easy for others to use; and 5) encourage and celebrate innovation using the APIs. Charts show growing developer accounts and usage of the JustGiving APIs over time.

Take Control of your APIs in a Microservice Architecture3scale
Microservices are a new architectural approach to modularize systems into smaller units. The benefits include that services can be adapted more rapidly to changing business demands. Application programming interfaces (APIs) are crucial in every microservice architecture (MSA) as they link up the various microservices. Key challenges of MSA are getting API security, access control and analytics right in an environment that is constantly changing. This workshop talk will show how the features of the 3scale API management platforms in combination with the Red Hat OpenShift PaaS can be leveraged to overcome these challenges.

Enterprise architects are facing new challenges as software becomes central to business to success. The development of a stable internal platform is a key strategy to deliver more, faster. However actually succeeding in platform delivery is it a challenge in itself. In this session we cover three key ways of thinking that help structure that platform journey.
Build and Manage Serverless APIs (APIDays Nordic, May 19th 2016)3scale
Presentation gave by Nicolas Grenié (@picsoung) at APIdays Nordic in Tampere, Finland in 2016
He covered the principles of serverless infrastructure, explaining the pros and cons about it and the different platforms.
He also gave an overview of the Serverless (serverless.com) framework.
APIs are everywhere today and can be a great building block of modern applications. But all too often APIs are not truly great. Rather than love your API, developers curse it. How can you avoid that fate? In this session we'll look at the most common mistakes API providers make and you can avoid making them too. Do you offer a bad developer experience (DX)? Poor, inconsistent API design? Unreliable services? This talk is a deep dive on not just what to avoid but what to do instead. And you'll leave knowing how to get developers to love your API, not hate it.
Application developers are the customers of your API. Success is measured by how quickly those developers enjoy success using your API in their applications. And rapid adoption of an API by your internal, partner, or external developers is all about design.
Building upon their prior work in API design, Marsh Gardiner and Brian Mulloy unveil RV, a style of API design that embraces developer adoption as its guiding principle. They explore the constraints and opportunities introduced by RV and discuss RV's place in the context of other design approaches like REST and Hypermedia.

Apps consume a lot of web services these days. Sometimes, these new services can be fantastic, and other times not so much. Learning how to evaluate APIs and identify problem areas before jumping head first into development can save us frustration, time, and money. This session will walk through evaluating an API, best practices, and red flags, all from the standpoint of an iOS dev. No matter your experience level, you'll leave with the skills to effectively tackle your next API.
APIs have become ubiquitous and they have profoundly changed the way we connect to the world. They have opened the doors to enterprise back-end infrastructure and made it possible for developers to build innovative mobile applications. But this IT revolution comes with its share of challenges. “If we build it they will come” is no longer an effective API launch strategy. AnyPresence and WIP Factory are joining forces to share valuable best practices on improving API adoption.
Nicolas Grenie's presentation from HTML5 Dev Conf. 2014:
There is currently a major shift sweeping over the software industry. With each passing day the world is becoming more and more API-driven. When building an API there are many design options and Hypermedia is the new emerging way of designing APIs. Hypermedia APIs are widely used by companies such as Paypal and Amazon. In this session I will discuss the principles of Hypermedia APIs and the different ways to implement one in Node.js. I will first introduce you to a basic implementation using Express and then move on to a more advanced solution using a dedicated framework: Fortune.js. I will also share my experience of building APIbunny (http://apibunny.com), an API-driven easter game.

Real World API Business Models That Worked
Mark Boyd, Writer, ProgrammableWeb
What business revenue models are most successful for API providers seeking to build active third-party developer communities? How much can an API act to leverage revenue growth and market share, and what timeline for success is realistic? This presentation goes beyond the theory to share some initial data on what businesses are experiencing when implementing an API strategy.
This presentation summarizes the critical success factors from 15 API business case studies including:
- Type of business model used and revenue-share data against cost estimations
- What developer engagement strategies grew API usage the fastest
- What factors reduced churn rate amongst third-party developers
- Developer onboarding timeframe
- What factors influenced internal support for an API strategy
Introduction to Growth Hacking:
- Principles
- Examples (from US and from #FrenchTech)
- Theory
- AARRR / Metrics
- Tools
- Must read stuff
And plenty other things!
Let's explore why you should have an API, how will it influence your business, why you should think about a monetisation seriously. There are a whole bunch of existing models that can help you find the right fit for your API depending on your roadmap.
Finally we take a look at the distribution of APIs to developers. Like any cake, you need to make sure it looks and tastes great to be able to sell it and be a leader!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

12. And we’ve slowly built up a community of users
• 1,500 developer accounts (~10% active)
• 30-50 charities using our APIs
• 20-25% of annual revenues driven via API
activity
15. 12 months ago did your charity understand what APIs were?
Source: JustGiving API survey Feb 2014
Yes - we clearly understood
APIs and their potential at the
time
Yes - we had heard of APIs but
didn't really know what they
offered
No - we had no idea what APIs
did at the time
No - we still don't know what
APIs do!
50% had limited or
no understanding
of APIs
16. The APIs landscape in the not-for-profit sector
• Charities traditionally have very limited budget
• Rarely have in-house developer resource
• Short term planning over long term
• Reliance on voluntary employees
• Understanding of APIs was/is low
18. Lesson 1: Launch and build upon your own APIs
• Helps validate your methods
• Lifts a lid on what sucks (or what’s missing)
• Forces you to at least plan how to manage and document
them
• Gives you some credibility from day 1
19.
20. Lesson 2: Pick a significant launch partner
• Our # 1 client
• Raised > £40m on JustGiving in 2013 alone
• FTSE 100 style organisation - big enough to have an innovation team
• In 2010 expressed a desire to “stay ahead of comp” and to “leverage tech”
• All their fundraising campaigns today are API driven through JustGiving
• Took 3 years to get to this stage
• Lots of blood, sweat and tears
• Test & learn, test & learn…
21. Lesson 2: Pick a significant launch partner
• This trust in our system was a industry wide game changer
• They singularly validate our API stack
• Both parties learnt loads!
• Missing methods
• Error handling
• Documentation
• Educating & Empowering multiple stakeholders
23. But know one knew what they wanted…
How do I get that integration?
Cool…What’s an API?
It’s API driven…
24. Lesson 3: So be prepared to put in the hard yards
25. Lesson 3: Putting in the hard yards
• Get out and meet your future clients (e.g. charities, agencies)
• Show them real life, tangible examples
• Find ways to get round lots of red tape / bureaucracy
• Test things quickly (prove/disprove, move on)
• Co-fund projects
• Be prepared to coach, guide, review and tweak
• Demos, flow diagrams etc
• Train up those that can broadcast the API message
• Account Managers, Bus Dev, PR etc
• Prepare for a slow life cycle of development
• And meantime plan for what they will want next
27. Lesson 4: Invest in making life easy for others
• Get out of their way (whilst supporting them!)
• Pick an API service provider
• Live or die by your documentation
• Provide a reliable sandbox
• Build and support a help group. Zero in on your biggest advocates
• Empower other staff to answer questions
• Plan for CRM & Developer outreach (emails, customer care, doc updates etc)
29. 5. Encourage & Celebrate Innovation
• Show what people are building
• External communities (PR, blogs, social)
• Internal stakeholders (excite your staff)
• Partners (“oh I want that!”)
• Attend/Sponsor hacks
• Find the relevant hack(s) for your business goals
• Evangelize your APIs/Platform
• Invest in Developer Outreach
• Hook up with influencer/guru in your industry
• Inspire others
• E.G. JustGiving award for technology
• White paper / research / infographics etc

API adoption will
grow
No change
35. 1. Build and launch something yourself to get ahead
2. Pick a partner and go through the growing pains together
3. Be prepared to put in the hard yards
4. Invest in the making life easy for others
5. Encourage and celebrate innovation
In short, we have built a platform, that supports a world where everyone can give will give.
We enable the traditional fundraising model of sponsorship by bringing it online
We are NOT a charity. We reinvest our profits into technology
